Dagger in hand

A man of prodigious fortune, coming to add his opinion to some light discussion that was going on casually at his table, began precisely thus: "It can only be a liar or an ignoramus who will say otherwise than," and so on. Pursue that philosophical point, dagger in hand.

--Michel de Montaigne, Of the art of discussion.

Dad, what's a UN pussy?

This is exactly what Judge Kozinski and I were addressing in this article.  I don't think the copyright holders should be able to prevent Jibjab from using the song in its video (which is hilarious), but I do think they have a right to some share of any profits Jibjab is making.

And yes, I did have to come up with an answer to the above question.  Lucas knows the whole song by heart.   Speaking of which, today is his birthday.  Tonight the three of us are going to see the Alanis Morisette/BNL show, after he gets out of nerd camp.  (He's taking a course in inductive and deductive reasoning.  And loving it.)
