Our local newspaper editorial pointed out something that has NOT been in the news lately. President Bush’s poll numbers, as you will recall, were in the news because his approval ratings had dipped to the low 30’s , etc. The Rasmussen poll was just released this week showing Bush’s approval ratings are back up to 45%. Have you read or heard this in the news? As the old saying goes, “You can’t keep a good man down!”
StephenRahn.com has a link to Retro Sesame Street Videos, where you can watch Ernie sing his “Rubber Ducky” song, or the muppets singing “Mahna Mahna” and many more which will bring a smile to your face!
The Hollywood studios and the Directors Guild Assoc have won a summary judgment against Clean Flicks, and other similar companies. This judgment was announced on July 6 and CleanFlicks.com is currently shut down and out of business, pending the appeal of this lawsuit. Basically, Clean Flicks is one of a few companies that would edit a DVD for you, if you had purchased the original DVD. The viewpoint of Clean Flicks is that a DVD, like a music CD, is yours once you have purchased it and it can be erased, edited, or copied for your own personal use. Hollywood claims that this is a copyright infringement and basically you (or in this case CleanFlicks.com) is breaking the law. I have to agree with Clean Flicks and if I want to erase the entire DVD once I buy it, it should be my right.
