Bush library loses web address to cybersquatter.
Bush library loses web address to cybersquatter.
The Dallas Morning News reports that while the Bush library has found a physical home at Southern Methodist University, it is having difficulty finding an online home. “Some of the very best addresses are gone — snapped up for a mere fistful of dollars by squatters who have no connection to the library yet hope to make fun of the president, protect him or simply cash in on his name.” The Bush Foundation has itself to blame for losing one prominent url:
At one time, the Bush Library Foundation owned the easiest Web site to remember: www.GeorgeWBushLibrary.com.
But whether on purpose or because of an oversight — foundation spokesman Taylor Griffin wasn’t sure — it lost that domain name last year. Illuminati Karate, a Web company in Raleigh, N.C., picked it up for less than $10. […]
“We’re just holding onto it for the time being,” said lead Web developer George Huger. “To be honest, I couldn’t believe someone was letting it expire.”

March 31st, 2008 at 5:05 pmOne night while listening to Ray Taliaferro the topic of Bush’s library came up. Ray wanted to get some suggestions of what to call this library….
March 31st, 2008 at 5:05 pmThe best suggestion was LIEbarry, as that is what it would be and the way Bush would pronounce it.
Why not name Chimpy’s library after what it truly is indicative of ?

March 31st, 2008 at 5:15 pmgreat one… just when i’m resigned to the “evil, not incompetent” conclusion,
along comes a story like this…
well, they’ll get that name somehow… free markets, and all…
…
hey, while we’re on the subject of the inter-tubes, i’ve been sorta watching the
comcast stories over the past days, wondering how it figured into, or added to,
the NET NEUTRALITY issue…
just came accross this:
Who’s to say Comcast won’t meddle with Net again?
[…]
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, also a Bush appointee, was also pleased with the announcement but stopped short of pledging to end FCC perusal of Comcast’s practices.
Martin said the the April 17 hearing will go forward “to explore more fully what constitutes reasonable network management practices.”
While I, too, am happy that Comcast has agreed to mend its ways and stop blocking peer-to-peer file sharing, it’s worth pointing out that this is a private agreement between two for-profit companies. Whether Comcast came to its senses because of government scrutiny, public pressure or just good business sense is almost irrelevant. While it did commit to changing an egregious policy, there is nothing - other than possibly market forces - to stop it or other companies from engaging in similar or worse tactics in the future.
Despite Martin’s commitment to “remain vigilant,” I worry that this announcement could remove pressure on Comcast to stop interfering with network traffic.
[…]
um… is THAT an example of why we NEED NET NEUTRALITY?

Someone might want to tell these people that they can just use “.gov” (not available for public sale) instead of “.com”, “.net” or “.org”.

Awesome name! :D
BTW, very revealing that the Illuminati own the GWB Library domain.
