I heard from Eric Erickson from RedState concerning CPAC credentials

…telling me I would be hearing from him this morning concerning CPAC blogger credentials.
That however is quickly becoming a moot point. I am $800 shy with now 4 days to go and the only reason why I’m that close is that a guest room has been offered to me.
In the last 7 days the “CPAC” fund has been as successful as Eric Idle’s attempts at Camel spotting.

When Robert Stacy stayed here my wife referred to it as “my summer camp”, there was a fair amount of work that it entailed and a lot less sleep than I’m used to, but it was an awful lot of fun. (more…)

…you would be wrong.
There were a few faces from Monday but more new faces than before. And although I only had the chance to drive by yesterday I saw faces that I didn’t see today or Monday.

Tim Blair reminds us that everything costs something, in this case an upload costs 1.6 million:
A MAN who bragged about illegally uploading a Super Mario Bros computer game to the internet yesterday agreed to pay manufacturer Nintendo $1.6 million in a landmark anti-piracy court settlement.
James Burt, 24, agreed to pay $1.5 million in damages plus $100,000 in court costs to the gaming giant behind the hugely popular Wii game.
The Laws are on the books and companies are going to use their lawyers to make sure they are enforced. Until and unless they are changed ask yourself, is it worth it?
When you put the need to play a video game next to say Nujood and woman under Islam it really puts things in perspective doesn’t it?
And unlike Nujood, James did this to himself.
I’d hit him with a nelson but he’s going to be paying for this literally for the rest of his life, so I’ll spare him than and suggest we don’t repeat his mistake.
