Interesting usage stats:

On both networks, adults predominate, but on MySpace, half of the users are age 35 and older, while users age 18-24 make up only 17%. On Facebook, older users make up 40%, with college students (29%) being the next biggest group. MySpace users tilt toward the lower middle classes, Boyd says. ComScore reports that the three lowest income brackets are overrepresented there, whereas on Facebook, the opposite is true: There, the three highest income groups dominate.

My preliminary thoughts -- Had Bush pardoned Libby then Libby could be compeled to testify before Congress. He could not invoke the 5th Amendment and refuse to answer questions because raising the 5th is predicated upon him being at risk for punishment for the actions he would testify about. No risk = no refusal to testify. By commuting Libby's prison sentence only, and leaving intact the conviction and fine, Libby is still entitled to appeal his sentence and likely can assert the Fifth Amendment. Therefore, Bush keeps Libby from prison which would likely lead to Libby flipping on the administration and still shields him from answering questions under oath in public about what went on. Feels a little like obstruction of justice. Sheesh.

Huh. Just found the site of that guy who did the hysterical L&O comic book. Is it legal to use all those likenesses and properties for your own profit?

This waxing/shaving conversation has served a wider public service--considering I've got a trip to Hawaii coming up in two months and the GROOMING is being discussed and various treatments being weighed. I thank you all.

if you've never waxed before, I caution you. i went on a trip with A Boy, and decided to wax. It was fine for the trip, but after three or four days went by, it started to regrow, and it itched like a MOTHERFUCKER. Like, I seriously thought I would go insane in a meeting once. I was literally sitting in a client meeting thinking "I know that this could cost the client money, but could you just shut up so I can go scratch my goolie?" AWFUL. But, YGMV.

I'm thinking no. Unless he got permission or can show that it's a parody of some sort, I think he's looking at a cease and desist order.

By commuting Libby's prison sentence only, and leaving intact the conviction and fine, Libby is still entitled to appeal his sentence and likely can assert the Fifth Amendment.

I haven't researched this but it seems unlikely he would appeal, and if he lets the period to appeal the sentence lapse (90 days ETA: 45 days after filing the notice) a 5th A claim on those grounds would leave him SOL. Still could claim it on the basis of some other prosecution though, which would make the commutation moot.

My mom posted a message to the EW thread thing.

How freakin cute is that?

I can see an argument for parody. But it's possible I'm conflating amusing with parody.

Okay, work day #1 done. Now to second job.

I think it's parody.

I think that he has a legitimate parody claim.
