    Seriously, if the school house rock guys need the 50 cents they'll make from the 12 people who clicked on "when a bill becomes a law" when I posted it on my blog 2 years ago, that's just too pathetic for words, really.

    And so it begins. This time it's not the evil old RIAA or MPAA, it's an organization that actually makes sure content creators get paid.


    I love this. Soon, everyone will have to pay for every bit of content they consume. Finally.

    @Ricki-Oh: Sure, i'd gladly pay the content creator. But some faceless organization that takes 80% of the fees and sends the creator 20%? not so much.

    @Moonshine Mike: Individual creators do not have the time or the means to track the use of their work and that's why these organizations exist. PS: Where did you get the 80/20 split info...or did you just make that up?

    Would ASCAP please start with the lyrics sites that hit you with 10 popups and then won't let you surf away?

    The person calling seems very reluctant to answer the question as to what happened... *perhaps* because the answer might be something like "Well, Michael Jackson's personal doctor shot him up with demerol... and Jackson's been taking prescription drugs as well. We didn't want to call 9/11 immediately because than you might find out we were giving a bunch of drugs we shouldn't have been."


    It's what's left out of the call..... *perhaps* MJ was murdered by a drug dealer with an MD??? Shades of Anna Nicole Smith anyone?

    Listened to it and WTF? A doctor on scene who it is assumed is doing CPR with the patient in a bed? That does NOTHING. It would make chest compressions ineffective.


    The 911 operator was right to have them move him to the floor, but wrong that this doc supersedes his better judgment in this situation. Crikey! Now I'm sick about this all over again.

    @TriedandTrue: Yes, the call he placed for River. Very haunting. I figured this couldn't be anything close to that, but still, I like to keep the actual moments of anyone's death at arm's length.

    I heard it and the operator repeated "So he's not breathing?" and "So he's not conscious?" every 20 seconds, the point of which I do not know.

    You are wrong about this guy.


    He has a heart of gold and is definitely someone I would trust and would want to have my back.


    And, street hustler? If anything, he is much more of a Star Wars D&D geek-type than a street hustler.


    Let's get on to the real hustlers out there like that dreaded Gary Winston. Has he been killing any programmers for code lately?

    Caffeine Free Diet Coke? It's just that it's completely unmanly. Maybe he's a teetotaler. Maybe he's a Mormon.


    Judging people by what they drink? That's just plain classless, but it is who I am. I'm drinking a Bastard Child Of A White Russian right now, BTW.
