Tim Russert: “What is our plan for Iraq? How long with the 140,000 American Soldiers be there? How many international troops will join them? And how much is this gonna cost?”
Cheney: “Well, some of those questions are unknowable at present. They will depend on developments — depend on how fast it takes us to achieve our objectives.”

Thanks again, Bobby, for being so on top of things!
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE IN THE BAY AREA TO SAY NO TO THE RECALL
I know it sounds like the Courts are going to push the recall back a few months, but there is still a week before the Supreme Court will finally decide and it is important to keep the anti-recall momentum going forward.
SO………Why don’t YOU show up at Sproul Plaza (Bancroft/Telegraph in Berkeley on the UC Campus) at noon or stop by the Third Baptist Church in SF at 2pm. (The church is at 1399 McAllister Street, at Pierce, in the Western Edition in San Francisco.)
If you want more info, the message MoveOn sent me is below.
But first, a note from Lisa (even though this is “Bobby’s Turn” 🙂
Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be going to this protest in Berkeley tomorrow.
I have just enough time between my morning and afternoon class at SFSU to take BART out to Berkeley and record the speeches and head back. So you’ll get to see the event either way. But it’s really important for there to be a huge turnout at these events, so that the Supreme Court will know how we feel and take that into account while it’s making its decision.
Jesse Jackson will be there. It ought to be really cool.
Footage will go up promptly tomorrow night. (After I get home from class at 5 and have a chance to upload it.)
Hope to see you there!
The Free Expression Policy Project has just published a fully revised and updated edition of “The Progress of Science and Useful Arts” Why Copyright Today Threatens Intellectual Freedom – a summary of the major controversies over file-sharing, fair use, the ever-receding public domain, the “Digital Millennium Copyright Act,” and more.
It’s available at:

Why Copyright Today Threatens Intellectual Freedom
In all, fourteen amicus briefs on Eldred’s side were submitted, with a total of 141 signers. They included groups ranging from the National Writers Union and the College Art Association to the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons and Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. Their aim was to bring home to the Supreme Court justices the real cultural costs of ever-longer copyright terms, and consequent freezing of the public domain.
The brief from online archiving projects, for example, described how Internet public-domain publishing has revived countless forgotten or hard-to-find works. Archiving projects now “digitize and distribute millions of out-of-copyright books, movies, and music … materials that commercial publishers, distributors, and rights-holders have effectively abandoned.” While media companies that own the copyrights “often let these films decay and books disappear, this material is invaluable to scholars researching our history, artists developing new art forms, and anyone seeking to explore our culture.”
To reclaim these works, they must be in the public domain. Finding and paying copyright owners is untenable, given the millions of documents involved. And in any case, the vast majority of works affected by the Sonny Bono law
Bravo! Bravo! I must say, I am pleasantly surprised by this thoughtful ruling by the 9th District Court of Appeals.
(Too bad the Supreme Court wasn’t as thoughtful in the 2000 presidential election.)
Appeals court blocks California recall
By Bob Franken and Kelly Wallace for CNN.
The ruling follows a hearing last week at which the American Civil Liberties Union argued that election officials should have more time to replace antiquated voting machines in several California counties.
The ACLU said the punch-card system could disenfranchise voters in six counties, including Los Angeles, the state’s largest. Those six counties include 44 percent of state voters and have heavy concentrations of minority voters.
A lower court last month had rejected the request, but the appeals court disagreed.
“In sum, in assessing the public interest, the balance falls heavily in favor of postponing the election for a few months,” the court concluded, citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bush v. Gore decision that settled the 2000 presidential election.
“The choice between holding a hurried, constitutionally infirm election and one held a short time later that assures voters that the ‘rudimentary requirements of equal treatment and fundamental fairness are satisfied’ is clear.”
Mark Rosenbaum, a lawyer for the ACLU, called the decision “a masterpiece.”
