She can sue over the first one as many other artists have when Mad Lord Yam uses their music without paying the usage fees, but I fear at least with the second one they're either going to claim "fair use" (it isn't) or "parody" (it isn't).

Rename the NFL to the National Handegg League (NHL), then rename the NHL to the National Puck League (NPL).

The USCG is, by definition and charter, a law enforcement and interdiction service during peacetime. As such, it has legal authority under international law to stop vessels in our territorial waters if there is reasonable belief the vessel has violated U.S. law.

It is *literally* in the DoD handbook that once a boat is "shipwrecked", firing upon it is an illegal order. Literally in the book.

Van Orden is a damned liar.

Nope. I stopped extending that charity after the 10th or 15th "this is what I voted for" when ICE smashed someone's window or fired pepper balls at members of the clergy.

You voted for it, you support it all. Lock, stock and barrel.
