Cyber-squatting
Nope, it's not an internet poop festival.
Republicans have bought the rights to several web addresses that could be used by Tom Reilly, a potential candidate for the governorship in Massachusetts. Evil, evil, evil.
Of course, I found out about this because my friend David in Hawaii read it and decided to do his own purchasing of websites. He bought out jebbush.com, jebbush2008.com, and two others that involve mixes of the bastard's name. I hope he turns them into mockery sites if it ever comes to that horrible prospect.
I'm not sure if I can make it through the next four years with the one idiot, so I'm really glad David's doing his own work to make sure the surname doesn't continue in the office.
As I said when I came out of the closet- No More Goddamned Bush!

Heya, G. As a matter of trademark/cyber-squatting law your friend Dave will lose his rights to the addresses unless he uses them. Moreover, for arcane legal reasons, if he uses the site commercially he might lose the rights as well.
The one way he can keep the names is if he uses addresses for political satire and political commentary, and on the safe side he should keep his satirical/political use primarily to lampooning Jeb Bush himself, as opposed to, say, the Republican party in general.
Hope you've been well!

Sadly, your friend Joe is correct... however, I gotta love the effort.

So who wants to make this thing a political satire site? I think it is time to start the mocking.
