In the past I have been known to tell people who “share” music online that they are thieves. Not as if they are doing anything worth throwing them in jail for – don’t get me wrong there. But the fact that people who share files that happen to be copyrighted music to me smells like stealing. In other words, the product is being taken and used, and no royalty paid.

RIP William F. Buckley
I just heard the sad news. Growing up I really didn’t know much about him, what he did or who he was, mostly getting my images of him from Saturday Night Live skits and other slapstic routines that made fun of his demeanor. The last few years I have take a pretty good dive into some of his books and am very glad I did. Thank you William for a life well lived.

Wisconsin Primary Analysis
I am a very simple guy, and I ask simple questions. This political season I am asking a question to myself over and over and over – just how many conservative/libertarian folks such as myself have been crossing over and voting for Obama in open primaries? My initial guess was a bunch, and it looks as though I may have been correct.
Crossover Votes Not Talked About?
Lex mentioned a week or so ago that he was holding his nose and voting for Obama to do his part to keep Hillary out of the White House. I did the same thing here in Wisconsin and so did my wife via absentee ballot. I don’t see anyone speaking in the major media about the fact that Obama must be getting thousands and thousands of votes from those crossing over to vote for him in the primary contests. Am I the only one that has not seen anyone talking about this?
