But he does wish it hadn't happened during his vacation. [I didn't know trolls took vacations.]
Fox sued the former "Saturday Night Live" performer and his publisher, the Penguin Group, to stop them from including "fair and balanced" in the title of his upcoming book.
Fox News registered "Fair & Balanced" as a trademark in 1995, the lawsuit said. More
You're toast Franken, since it's trademarked.
Michael Buffer trademarked "Let's get ready to rumble" and if you say it or use it in anyway Mr. Buffer will sue your shorts off. heh heh heh!
I hope Franken has already had that joke of a book printed in large numbers.

... (A)lthough Gov. Gray Davis criticized Schwarzenegger for announcing his candidacy on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show," insiders tell us Davis secretly called Leno and asked to appear on the program himself. "The governor was turned down - and he is not happy about it," says our source. Leno's reps did not return calls.

The former president was, of course, unaware that Bonds was under the weather when he strolled into the visiting clubhouse flanked by his two nieces and a nephew, a couple of secret servicemen and security types and Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon. Nor did Bonds bother to belabor the point with him. Rather, the MVP slugger's mood immediately brightened at the sight of Clinton approaching. He smiled and waved while Clinton stopped to explain to a small group of reporters the purpose of his mission to dreary Shea on this night.
"A couple of years ago when my daughter was going to school at Stanford, I went over to Pac Bell Park to catch a Giants-Dodgers game," Clinton recounted. "The game actually got rained out, but I got to meet Barry, his dad (Bobby) and Willie Mays. We sat around and talked baseball for hours. It turned out to be one of the great days - sports days, that is - of my life."
According to a Mets official, Clinton had requested passes for Tuesday night's game weeks ago, primarily because he wanted to renew acquaintances with Bonds. full gagworthy story
Another account of the evening includes this:
Clinton visited with players, signed autographs, greeted fans and stayed all nine innings. "I'm a baseball nut, what can I say?" Clinton said. link
Leiter, who's talked about going into politics after his playing career, is a registered Republican who campaigned for Mayor Bloomberg.
"You call me some time," Clinton told Leiter, slapping him on the back for good measure.
Clinton made an unannounced visit to Shea Stadium, glad-handing players and fans and speaking about, among other things, Leiter's future in politics. "I can't do anything for his pitching career," Clinton joked.
But the 42nd president said did call Leiter "competitive and inquisitive," adding, "I think both of those things are important. Who knows? Maybe if we had a month to work on each other, one of us would switch."
Leiter wasn't always so friendly toward Clinton. In 1997, after Leiter's Marlins won the World Series, the pitcher didn't accompany the team to Clinton's White House. As Leiter recalled in a 2001 interview with The Post, "I didn't care to see him. I didn't really have a whole lot of respect for him. . . . It was right during the whole Monica Lewinsky thing, and I think the guy made a mockery of the whole White House."

Former Vice President Al Gore’s New York speech attacking the Bush administration last week is being taken as a signal that he intends to follow in the footsteps of Adlai Stevenson and William Jennings Bryan and become the standard-bearer of the Democratic Party. By both ruling himself out of contention in the 2004 presidential race — from which he withdrew last December — and at the same time presenting himself as the authoritative voice of opposition, Gore is aggressively reviving a political role that faded out of fashion in the ’60s. ...
“There’s a quaint term [for it] that you almost never hear these days: standard-bearer,” said Baker. “It’s someone who stands above the fray and becomes the party’s senior statesman.” full story, The Hill
If Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential aspirations melt like a dollop of Cheez Whiz in the sun, the trouble may well be traced to an incident in South Philadelphia on Monday.
There, the Massachusetts Democrat went to Pat's Steaks and ordered a cheesesteak -- with Swiss cheese. If that weren't bad enough, the candidate asked photographers not to take his picture while he ate the sandwich; shutters clicked anyway, and Kerry was caught nibbling daintily at his sandwich -- another serious faux pas.
"It will doom his candidacy in Philadelphia," predicted Craig LaBan, food critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer, which broke the Sandwich Scandal. After all, Philly cheesesteaks come with Cheez Whiz, or occasionally American or provolone. But Swiss cheese? "In Philadelphia, that's an alternative lifestyle," LaBan explained.
And don't even mention Kerry's dainty bites. "Obviously, Kerry's a high-class candidate, and he misread the etiquette," LaBan said. "Throwing fistfuls of steak into the gaping maw, fingers dripping -- that's the proper way." More

I would have never suspected that you, Iowa Granny would own a nekked computer! ;-)
BTW, I feel your pain, I'm still using my son's hard drive as mine is still kapoot. Think I'll give up and find a guru of my very own.
