After billions of years the Sun finally has an owner -- a woman from Spain's soggy region of Galicia said Friday she had registered the star at a local notary public as being her property.

Angeles Duran, 49, told the online edition of daily El Mundo she took the step in September after reading about an American man who had registered himself as the owner of the moon and most planets in our solar system.

This makes about as much sense as what the Leftists blather every day.

I have copyrighted the letter “A”.

I demand that Angeles Duran pay me royalties everytime she writes, types, or recites her name.

I'm surprised Algore didn't think of this.

“she should be required to fund the development of them through the appropriate space exploration agency”

I guess it’s lucky she now can charge every single person on the planet (except those living in caves) for the privilege of using her sun. Even at a modest (and arguably quite reasonable: surely the privilege of getting some sunshine each day is worth at least 2 cents a week) excise tax of $1 per person per year, she’d generate $6.9 billion a year, sufficient (I assume) for a healthy R&D effort. Of course, collecting all those taxes might divert a sizable chunk of her tax revenues.

She’s a liar. I never sold it to her.
