  Re: Urrrgh Feinstein

  God, tell me about it: she's mine too. Freaking hell, the woman needs to be stopped.

• On the post: Irony Alert: Obama Opposes Amash Amendment Because It's A 'Blunt Approach' And Not A Product Of 'Open' Process

  

  Jay ( profile ), 23 Jul, 2013 @ 06:08pm

  "This blunt approach is not the product of an informed, open, or deliberative process"
  
  Well, of course it isn't informed: we don't know EVERYTHING about how they're spying on us yet, so until we know everything about it, we can't make an informed decision. Of course, all of those methods are classified, so we can't tell you about them, but just as soon as you know all about those methods, we can talk about them. It all makes PERFECT sense.

• On the post: Ex-CIA/NSA Boss Says Snowden Worse Than Every Spy From Benedict Arnold To The Rosenbergs

  

  Jay ( profile ), 22 Jul, 2013 @ 08:19am

  Snowden is clearly so much worse than all of them because he did his crimes? ON THE INTERNET. Thus making it a totally original and innovative crime that had never been done before. It's obvious.

• On the post: Judge Refuses To Drop 'Aiding The Enemy' Charges Against Bradley Manning

  

  Jay ( profile ), 18 Jul, 2013 @ 10:12am

  Of course he was aiding the enemy. As if there could be any doubt. Any information that informs the American public of the secret crimes committed in their names is aiding the true enemy of the American government: the people it rules over.

• On the post: Will.i.am, Pharrell, Trademarks And Ham, Sam I Am

  

  Jay ( profile ), 10 Jul, 2013 @ 05:29pm

  Well, i.am confused as to how who this guy is, to be honest. I probably couldn't identify a single piece of his music if you asked me to.

• On the post: Edward Snowden Charged With Espionage By US Government

  

  Jay ( profile ), 21 Jun, 2013 @ 04:30pm

  Of course he was aiding the enemy. If the enemy is the American public, and for that matter, the rest of the world.

• On the post: Microsoft Capitulates, Removes Online DRM From Xbox One

  

  Jay ( profile ), 19 Jun, 2013 @ 02:42pm

  Well, that's two of the three things removed from the One that were killing my interest in it. Now you just have to remove that Kinect?

• On the post: Tech Companies Deny Letting NSA Have Realtime Access To Their Servers, But Choose Their Words Carefully

  

  Jay ( profile ), 07 Jun, 2013 @ 08:39am

  Yup, still not surprised in the slightest.
  
  And why isn't the RIAA/MPAA going after all of these pirates? Hmm? Why isn't the FBI knocking down the NSA's doors for all of this unlicensed copying?

• On the post: Deep Dive: Prenda Law Is Dead

  Re:

  Can't forget Pride. Takes a lot to think you could pull what they wanted to pull off.

• On the post: Copyright Lobby: The Public Has 'No Place In Policy Discussions'

  

  Jay ( profile ), 25 Mar, 2013 @ 09:02am

  Re:

  You really think there's any question of which one the government will side against at this point?

• On the post: Verizon Steps In On Prenda Case; Says Brett Gibbs Never Informed Them Of Judge's Order Killing Subpoenas

  

  Jay ( profile ), 11 Mar, 2013 @ 12:38pm

  It's incredible. No matter how bad the world is making me feel, this Prenda stuff manages to cheer me up to no end.

  Re: Time well spent

  Or the cheese shop sketch.
  
  "Tell me, how do you know this is the best law firm in the city?"
  "Well, it's so clean."
  "Yes, it's certainly uncontaminated by an understanding of the law."

• On the post: Do You Live In The Constitution-Free Zone Of The US?

  

  Jay ( profile ), 12 Feb, 2013 @ 12:56pm

  Well, on the plus side, this "constitution-free zone" certainly explains why DC's gone so crazy in recent years: apparently, the constitution does not exist there.

• On the post: Teri Buhl Threatens To Sue Us And Others; Still Seems Confused About The Law

  

  Jay ( profile ), 07 Feb, 2013 @ 11:54am

  Wow. Not even a week since Prenda Law tried to back out of their BS, and this happens.

• On the post: Games Workshop Proves It Would Rather Bully Authors Than Be A Culture Participant

  

  Jay ( profile ), 06 Feb, 2013 @ 03:00pm

  Well, I believe there's only one proper response to Games Workshop's opening salvo here.
  
  WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!

• On the post: Teri Buhl Responds To Our Story; Still Confused About The Internet And The Law

  

  Jay ( profile ), 05 Feb, 2013 @ 03:49pm

  Time for me to make an off the record comment of my own: you'd expect someone so involved in legal matters and law would have better grammar.

• On the post: Drink Up: Power Hour Trademark Bully Loses; Musician Plans Victory Tour

  

  Jay ( profile ), 28 Jan, 2013 @ 11:57am

  Still not quite as crazy as the Prenda Law debacle. But amusing.

• On the post: 'Defendant' In Prenda Law Case Reveals He Agreed To Take A Dive

  

  Jay ( profile ), 25 Jan, 2013 @ 07:05pm

  You know, I honestly thought they'd run out of ways to surprise me, and that they'd just come up with new variations of tricks they'd played before. Oh, how I can be proven wrong. This is AMAZING.

• On the post: New Jersey Transit's 'Text Against Terror' Program Exchanges $5.8 Million For ZERO Terrorists

  

  Jay ( profile ), 15 Oct, 2012 @ 08:38am

  "I can't imagine the blended, cheaper version would have resulted in fewer terrorists thwarted or arrested."
  
  Don't you get it? If they'd COMBINED the two programs like you suggested, Terrorists already in custody would escape, resulting in a new loss of Terrorists arrested! And then the Terrorists would win! It all makes sense!
  
  PS: You see, I capitalize the word "Terrorists" because it gets thrown around so much it might as well be a worshipped entity.

• On the post: PETA Vs. Pokemon

  

  Jay ( profile ), 10 Oct, 2012 @ 10:26am

  And of course, you can't forget that Pok?PETA were basically the bad guys of the last game. It's just so many mis-firings in their brains it goes straight through horrifying and comes out hilarious. As a good friend of mine put it, the irony of this is so delicious she wants to dip it in chocolate and slowly eat it while lying on silk sheets.
  
  My friend is kind of weird. And I love that.
