On calacanis.dom, there is an entry, "Dealing with Dummies, For Dummies", detailing how the "For Dummies" franchise (owned by Wiley Publishing) threatened a blogger for using "For Dummies" in the title of one of his entries. Apparently they are searching blogs constantly to find infractions !
Now, as a person raised on the comments, "for dummies" is a common phrase. Therefore it is absolutely ridiculous to assume that someone using that phrase is trying to steal the reputation of the "For Dummies" franchise.
I am looking forward to their legal threats so I can post them on this blog. Hmmm...

On Saturday Night Live last night, The Lonely Island dudes did a hilarious rap video with intergalactic Star Wars babe (and V for Vendetta star) Natalie Portman, Chris Parnell, and Andy Samberg. OMG! Alert the lawyers! It's already up on YouTube. Link, another, another (Thanks, hopey and Manu and others)

Talk about self-serving tripe:
During his surprise visit to Afghanistan, Bush sought to revive the image of a general on the frontline.
In comments to about 500 troops at a US base, he said: "I want you to email or call your friends, and more important your families, and tell them the old commander-in-chief showed up ... with a message of appreciation."
No matter what, it is always about George.

"It's James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub Party! And now, here he is - the Godfather of Soul, and hot tub man number one - James Brown!" Classic SNL clip featuring Eddie Murphy as James Brown.
