Gratuitous Obstructionist Pissants

The GOP (Gratuitous Obstructionist Pissants) are blowing gaskets left and right over the stimulus package being promoted by President Obama and his team.

AP Goes After Shepard Fairey

AP Goes After Shepard Fairey

Remember when I wrote about how Shepard Fairey totally stole a photographer’s work? This one? Turns out that Manny Garcia was an AP photographer when he snapped the photo and the AP owns the rights to the image. They aren’t happy about the situation. The AP says it owns the copyright, and wants credit and compensation. Fairey disagrees. “The Associated […]

Rush Limbaugh Has Lost It. For Real.

I was just telling a coworker yesterday how I thought that having Barack Obama win the election was absolutely the BEST thing to ever happen to Rush Limbaugh’s career. But, after reading THIS, I suspect that he’s finally gone completely off the deep end that he’s been perched upon for so long. To whit: “But I just want to say, […]
