horizontality, the queen of the wingnuts

There's this dentist, see, who came from Russia, where it was really really bad. I assume she was attacked by communists there. So she came here to America, the Beautiful, by way of Israel, I think, where she got her dental degree (although I'm not sure of that, either).

She also got a law degree! One of the wonderful things about America, the Beautiful, is that you can keep learning your whole life. (I suppose that's true elsewhere, but probably not Russia, what with all the communists.) And so when she heard the troubling news about that foreign sounding guy that "won" the election, she was ready, with her law degree thing. She looked for plaintiffs. She was going to fight this usurper, by golly!

She got several plaintiffs. One of them is a calm guy named Alan Keyes. You might remember his various runs for various political positions. He might have "won" the election himself, if not for that foreign guy. Another is a fine officer named Cook who signed up as a plaintiff in February and then volunteered to go to Afghanistan in May and THEN sued, well, pretty much everyone, to get out of his "deployment". Then he was surprised that his commanding officers rescinded his orders before he could go to court.

Surely there are other plaintiffs out there, military men and women, who are as patriotic as Mr. Cook! Surely the dentist can sign some of them on to defy orders and make lots of seriously ugly statements about the Commander-in-Chief!

Surely she knows all the military laws that apply to such folks, with her online degree and all.

For heaven's sake, surely she knows intellectual property laws should be preventing her from cutting and pasting entire news articles, including advertisements and sidebars, onto her own site, which she regularly touts as being a Very Popular Site. That's the least of most people's problems with her, but it really bugs me.

It makes one wonder what IS required to become a lawyer/dentist in California, really.

*her name plus four blanks. Okay, the blanks are H,I,N,O.

**I know I already talked about wingnuts this week, but man.
