1. Was this really a Fox News Headline?

If so I am truly amazed. It seems like I'm being amazed almost daily.

Judge denies Fox News attempt to block Franken book over title 'fair and balanced'

A federal judge on Friday denied Fox News Channel's request for an injunction to block humorist Al Franken's new book, whose title mocks the Fox slogan "fair and balanced."

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said Fox's claim was "wholly without merit, both factually and legally."

6. I love this quote.

"In addition to thanking my own lawyers," Franken said, "I'd like to thank Fox's lawyers for filing one of the stupidest briefs I've ever seen in my life."

Bwahahahahahaha!

I may have to actually buy this book rather than try to get it from our laughable county library.

out roaring at Franken...You';ve had your 35 seconds, now
SHUT UP...." really showing him to be the nastiest bully.

9. best news i've had in weeks.

this lawsuit was one of the most astonishingly stupid things i've seen. and after the foxnews/rbgh fiasco in florida (i wrote a great paper on this), i'm delighted to see them getting their pissy come-uppins.
