'Hot Coffee' Class Action Settled, $35 Rewarded For Outrage The class action suit against Rockstar Games for the part they played in the infamous "Hot Coffee" scandal has finally been resolved, granting all US citizens who were offended by the event up to $35. In case you forgot, the entire "Hot Coffee" scandal was the result of some code left in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that allowed players (through the use of a simple, widely available hack) to "have sex" with other characters in the game (see right). Rockstar denied culpability, but were still taken to court over the issue. To be eligible for monetary compensation for any outrage they may have felt over the incident, claimants must be able to verify their purchase of the game and submit their notice by May 16. In addition to the monetary rewards, the court has also made available updated copies of San Andreas which do not contain the offending code. As per usual with these type of settlements, th

I guess these could be filed under, "who gives a crap what you think". First off, we have China shedding tears over the United States issuing a Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama. According to the ChiCom, the Dalai Lama supports "cults". To bad for you ChiCom, you keep trying to kill American citizens and their pets with your tainted products. China has complained to the United States over a decision to award exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama a U.S. Congressional Gold Medal, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Thursday. The Dalai Lama, who fled to India after a failed uprising against Chinese Communist rule of Tibet in 1959, is branded by China as a "separatist". The Nobel Peace Prize winner says he only wants greater autonomy for the predominately Buddhist Himalayan region. "The Chinese government strongly opposes the U.S. Congress giving the Dalai Lama a so-called award," spokesman Liu Jianchao told a regular news briefing. "We strongly oppose
As we all already know, Bush vetoed the SCHIP bill amidst a furry of bad publicity and bad politics. To those of us who place the importance of policy over politics and publicity, this was a great and monumental step for the President. However, the House will be voting to override the veto, and those [...]
(The Orwell quote is, "The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it," in case that's not visible.)I would like to offer this quote also…“The war is lost.”Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), as noted here from April of this year.I would now like to offer this quote as well…"I don't know that there is any victory there. We're not going to be able to defeat all the crazies in Iraq."Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), as noted here, speaking at a town hall meeting in Mehoopany, Pa. last Sunday (registration required for this Inquirer story).Now tell me the difference between what Reid said and what Specter said.Need a minute? No problem, I’ll wait………Can’t think of one? OK.Then I’ll expect to see the chastising propaganda from Kevin Ferris in Friday’s editorial section attacking Specter with a sympathetic quote from one of our service people.I’ll also expect Michael Smerconish, Flush Limbore and the other right-wing radio propagandists to verbally assault Our Man Arlen to a sufficie
WASHINGTON - The spectacular pardon or reprieve has become a reliable end-of-presidency event. As he was about to leave office in 1992, George H.W. Bush pardoned former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and other officials convicted in the Iran-contra affair.
Six years ago, during his final hours in the White House, Bill Clinton pardoned fugitive financier Marc Rich, whose ex-wife Denise had given generously to Clinton’s campaigns and to his presidential library.
The most famous case, President Ford’s pardon of former President Nixon, was a presidency-ending event in another sense — it led directly to Ford’s defeat in the 1976 election.
I am not surprised, nor am I outraged by the action taken by Pres. Bush in his commutation of the Libby prison sentence, I was a bit taken back that it happened so soon, I fully expected that there would be some sort of presidential intervention but I presumed it would come as President Bush was on his way out, bad presumption on my part I gu
