I have always thought through out my life that America looked like Turkey. Clearly you can see New England as a Head and Florida as a Leg.
It took until about the mid 1990's to see Massachusetts as a Cartoon Gun. With the Hammer up by the Coast and New Hampshire with the Handle being down by Fall River.
And out at the end of the barrel is Arlo's Bring Your Own dog/god Church where he got Famous on Turkey Day by cleaning the trash out of a Church; which had not taken its trash out for a long long time. A parable.

A.P. Cracks Down on Unpaid Use of Articles on Web
By RICHARD PEREZ-PENA http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/24/business/media/24content.html?_r=...
Taking a new hard line that news articles should not turn up on search engines and Web sites without permission, The Associated Press said Thursday that it would add software to each article that shows what limits apply to the rights to use it, and that notifies The A.P. about how the article is used.
Tom Curley, The A.P.’s president and chief executive, said the company’s position was that even minimal use of a news article online required a licensing agreement with the news organization that produced it. In an interview, he specifically cited references that include a headline and a link to an article, a standard practice of search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo, news aggregators and blogs.
Asked if that stance went further than The A.P. had gone before, he said, “That’s right.” The company envisions a campaign that goes far beyond The A.P., a nonprofit corporation. It wants the 1,400 American newspapers that own the company to join the effort and use its software.
“If someone can build multibillion-dollar businesses out of keywords, we can build multihundred-million businesses out of headlines, and we’re going to do that,” Mr. Curley said. The goal, he said, was not to have less use of the news articles, but to be paid for any use.
Search engines and news aggregators contend that their brief article citations fall under the legal principle of fair use. Executives at some news organizations have said they are reluctant to test the Internet boundaries of fair use, for fear that the courts would rule against them.
Mr. Curley declined to address the fair use question, or to say what action The A.P. would take against sites that use articles without licensing.
“We’re not picking the legal remedy today,” he said. “Let’s define the scope of the problem.”
News organizations already have the ability to prevent their work from turning up in search engines — but doing so would shrink their Web audience, and with it, their advertising revenues. What The A.P. seeks is not that articles should appear less often in search results, but that such use would become a new source of revenue.
Gabriel Stricker, a spokesman for Google, said, “We believe search engines are of real benefit to news publishers, driving valuable traffic to their Web sites and connecting them with readers around the world.” Some news executives agree and contend that a confrontation with search engines is misguided.
The new program, approved Thursday by The A.P. board, is being introduced in stages that reach into next year. It follows through on a statement the company made in April vowing to take on digital piracy not only on its own behalf, but also as the agent for the embattled newspaper industry.
Each article — and, in the future, each picture and video — would go out with what The A.P. called a digital “wrapper,” data invisible to the ordinary consumer that is intended, among other things, to maximize its ranking in Internet searches. The software would also send signals back to The A.P., letting it track use of the article across the Web.
Newspaper executives have said that by taking the lead, The A.P. ensures a unified approach, saves publishers from having to design their own software and circumvents possible charges of collusion against the papers.
Some popular news aggregators like The Huffington Post and Google News have licensing agreements, paying The A.P. for the use of its material. But no comparable agreements cover general Internet searches that turn up news articles with a variety of other results.
Executives at newspapers and other traditional news organizations have long complained about how some sites make money from their work, putting ads on pages with excerpts from articles and links to the sources of the articles.
Another complaint is that a link to an article sometimes leads to another secondhand user, not the original source, which can deprive the creator of some of the audience for its own site and the ads on it. Some less-well-known sites reprint articles outright, or large parts of them, without permission, a clearer copyright violation. But there is little consensus on how extensive that problem is for news organizations.
Good morning James.... I'm all rested up and spry today, lol! Too much work and no play makes for a dull me! Thankfully, I have a couple of days off in a row...woot, woot!
HR 1207 has 279 co-sponsors, 11 more to go for 2/3rds veto proof.
S 604 now has 20. We need to encourage folks to get after their Senators. We could really breakup the crime ring if we could win on this most important battlefront. Once the FED Ring is REALLY exposed, people will demand it to be abolished.
Thanks James, glad you like! I'm going to keep the tunes a coming! The last band I was in has folded and a new one is being formed right now! I'm thinking of calling it Tarzania, what do you think? The bass player we are playing with right now owns a music store/studio....isn't that cool??????
hey james,been going really good now,well they hired me full time now,been puttin in about 55 hours a week,and its days now not nights,man lovin it ,get to put my lovin kids to bed,i work for a place called product quest,ill be on and off here at times,thanks bro,your freedom freind logan
Hello James...got my webcam today! I just have to figure out how to use it now! It doesn't look that technical so I think it should be all good!!!! Not making any promises of going live tomorrow but it's a possibility still. I've never used one so I'm going to practice using it tonight!
Have a couple days off, Woot, Woot! Chat at ya later!
Sometime ago I came to realize using meditating background sounds while reading the latest goings on here is not reducing my blood pressure after all. I have an aortic anuerysm 6.5 CM . . and . . there is a popping noise that is driving me nuts here . .
Otherwise I have been just peachy, thanks for asking. TJ and I went through town on the was south on the 4th of July. I yelled out the window, did you hear me?

I heard RP say 273.
You knew that McCain is a co-sponsor of S 604?
