  • Italian court affirms merits of plagiarism suit filed by creator of Western Kentucky's Big Red

    A 15-year-long court case was given new life on Wednesday when the highest court in Italy published its decision affirming the merits of a plagiarism suit brought by the inventor of Western Kentucky's mascot against a large Italian media company. Western Kentucky and companies that had bought the school's international merchandise licenses originally sued Silvio Berlusconi's Mediaset and Antonio Ricci, the creator of a similar-looking character named Gabibbo, for $250 million in 2003. When the school didn't prevail, the case was refiled by the parties with Ralph Carey, who created Western Kentucky's Big Red character in 1979.
  • Shouldn't we be demanding cable companies dump CNN, the Counterfeit News Network? (vanity)

    Since cable TV is dying off, shouldn't we be demanding these seditionists from CNN be cut off the cable line up? Otherwise, we cut off the cable. Demand these traitors to the Republic fall off the face of the earth and censure them to youtube.

    Here's the CNN clip: http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/02/dnc-chair-tells-cnn-health-care-is-a-penalty/?iref=allsearch From her mouth: "It's not a tax". The Internal Revenue Service would be the “easiest enforcer” of penalties against those who refuse to comply for those who fail to not pay the tax that isn't. “This is a penalty that will be assessed on the tax return if you choose to roll the dice and make us all pay for your being irresponsible and increase all of our health care costs...“We’re not going to tolerate that any more in America. You have to be responsible and you have to pay a penalty if you choose...

    Turkey withdraws ambassador to Israel By Selcan Hacaoglu | Associated Press ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey withdrew its ambassador to Israel and canceled three joint military drills on Monday after Israeli commandos killed at least 10 people and wounded dozens aboard a Palestinian aid convoy unofficially sponsored by Turkey. Furious Turkish protesters tried to storm Israel’s consulate in Istanbul then marched toward the city’s main square denouncing Israel because of the deaths, which drew condemnation from around the world. Arab countries expressed outrage and European countries with passengers aboard the ships summoned the Israeli ambassadors home and called for an investigation....
  • Warning to Tea Party folks--trouble makers to infiltrate?

    04/11/2010 9:35:15 PM PDT · by WKUHilltopper · 11 replies · 644+ views
    Just ran across this website. Sounds like an attempt to organize groups (SEIU, etc) to go into the typically peaceful tea party protests and pose as "tea party" folks--thus probably causing fights, mayhem, "chanting racial slurs", etc...since they couldn't PROVE tea party folks were spitting, causing fights, or yelling racial slurs, guess they have to do it themselves. I guess it's ok for THEM to disrupt political expression as long as it doesn't meet THEIR approval. I'm sure this has Oldblabblab's hands all over it. Sounds like a typical fascist move. http://crashtheteaparty.org/ http://www.crashtheteaparty.org/phpBB3/ Just a heads up...

  • BREAKING: Obama awarded Medal of Honor

    10/09/2009 11:27:04 AM PDT · by WKUHilltopper · 9 replies · 673+ views
    President Obama, typically cowering from those in uniform, awarded himself the esteemed Medal of Honor. When asked for comment, he concluded, I only thought about it and, lo and behold, I was awarded it. I often fantasize about feats of courage and since I think and pretend about it, it qualifies me for this Medal. After all, I am the Commander and Chief. Besides, just thinking about something was good enough for a Nobel, right?

  • End of "Cold War" a disservice (vanity)

    11/02/2008 5:09:47 PM PST · by WKUHilltopper · 7 replies · 304+ views
    I'm starting to believe the end of the Cold War has been a disservice primarily because an entire generation (well, many at least) wouldn't know what Marxism is if it bit them on the butt. Some of the "slogans", "sayings" and "topics" used in this Obama campaign comes right out of the Communist Manifesto--not to mention some of the posters and placards which are incredible throw backs from the hey days of Red Square parades. And the "plans", killing off economic growth, industries, etc! Am I living in a bad Twilight Zone episode??

    Help Bench the “Gamecocks” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PETA recently contacted the presidents of the University of South Carolina and Jacksonville State University and suggested that the schools consider changing the names of their sports teams, both of which are called the Gamecocks. We pointed out that the Washington Wizards team changed its name from the Bullets after deciding that it didn’t want to be associated with violence, so it can be done. The Gamecocks are named after birds used in cockfighting. These birds are pumped full of stimulants, hormones, and blood-clotting drugs. They have sharp blades attached to their legs to make...
