Gardner Goldsmith covers not only the latest in the news on the auto bailout from the feds, he explains why it’s a bad idea, and wonders why the feds keep using the term Czar for bureaucrats with massive power.

Then, Gard ties the story to the newest wrinkle in the home mortgage bailouts. It turns out that over a third of Americans who got their mortgages re-worked by federal coercion of the mortgage companies, well, they’ve DEFAULTED again! The number of mortgage recipients who are six months late is over fifty percent!

Then, check out the coverage of Bush’s claim to a “safety” legacy thanks to his foreign adventures in two undeclared military conflicts they call “War”. Jeesh!

Want some fun? Listen to the pinheads in Georgetown Mass, as they propose training kids trapped in gubment schools to fight armed intruders, but to fight them not with firearms, or even have parents volunteer to carry the arms, or, God forbid, to ELIMINATE government schools. Nope. The bureaucrats want kids to fight the gunmen with… Books and trash cans. Nice.

Then, take a listen to one of the best, Gard’s guest, BILE, of www.blogofbile.com and www.libertyactivism.info

He is hard at work bringing pro-liberty people together. Check it OUT!

The Duval County Supervisor of Elections Office has released the list of write-in candidates from the 2008 presidential election.

The list includes 736 votes in all, covering 191 different candidates.

Hillary Clinton topped all write-ins with 234 votes. Ron Paul had 174. The 3rd most votes? Jesus with 23.

Some of the others in the political arena receiving votes included Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and Al Gore.

Two people wanted and thought it was possible to get 4 more years out of President George W. Bush. Condoleeza Rice, John Edwards, Fred Thompson, Pat Buchanan, and Charlie Crist also had support.

One person wrote in Ralph Nader, ignoring the circle they could’ve filled in to signify that choice.

Newt Gingrich, Harry Reid, and Theodore Roosevelt also garnered support. One person just wrote Lieberman.

Jay Plotkin lost the race for State Attorney, but his 1 vote beat Angela Corey in the presidential race. And the hyrbid candidate Hilary Bush got a vote!?

In the battle of the Bills - Bill Cosby and Bill Nye both received 2, beating Bills Clinton and Richardson with one apiece.

Morgan Freeman got a vote

Chuck Norris did too.

Mr. Bill - yes, the fictional clay figure - also was chosen by someone to lead the country.

Oprah Winfrey endorsed Obama but one person out there said ‘no, Oprah, I want you!”.

Many names weren’t celebrities. Jacksonville resident Wayne Bryan says he voted for himself because he “didn’t like his choices”. When asked if he was ready to lead on day one if elected, he admitted probably not.

America got a vote. My dog. A bear. Mickey Mouse.

UF beat FSU as Tim Tebow received 2 votes with Seminole coach Bobby Bowden getting just one.

Jon Bon Jovi, someone honest, Tiger Woods, Tommy Chong, and perhaps the greatest write-in candidate of all time: Twice cooked pork $4.95

I think I have to agree with the last statement. Twice cooked pork $4.95 would have been the best president ever. Even better then William Henry Harrison.

It’s interesting how often Neal Cavuto has Paul on. I wonder when Glenn Beck gets his new Fox show I wonder if Paul will be appearing regularly too.

At this point in the game, why the hell not?

President Bush on Monday signed into law an intellectual-property enforcement bill that would consolidate federal efforts to combat copyright infringement under a new White House cabinet position.

The Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act establishes within the executive branch the position of intellectual property enforcement coordinator, who will be appointed by the president.

The law also steepens penalties for intellectual-property infringement, and increases resources for the Department of Justice to coordinate for federal and state efforts against counterfeiting and piracy. The so-called Pro-IP Act passed unanimously in the Senate last month and received strong bipartisan support in the House.

The Bush administration initially expressed its opposition to the legislation, but one of its more contentious provisions, which would have allowed the Justice Department to pursue civil litigation against copyright infringers, was removed.

The law has received wide-ranging support from within the business community, including from the Recording Industry Association of America, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and copyright holders such as NBC Universal. Labor groups such as the AFL-CIO have also expressed their support for the new law. Business and labor groups have said strong intellectual-property enforcement is critical for the development of the U.S. economy.

And who said that government was anti-monopoly? The Constitution be damned… intellectual property is not property. There is no scarcity. One can not own an idea like they can own a hammer. Many companies have trade secrets which are enforced through private contract and have kept from the public for decades. Even if you don’t agree one would have to admit that all current laws are corporatist in nature. The patent system is completely fucked. No one should be able to patent one click shopping or any other software algorithm or the genetic makeup of a house fly.

UPDATE:

The USA isn’t the only one: Court ruling strengthens patent protection for UK software
