Imperial march
I’m guessing on most of this, but this guy jumped in behind some routine religious ceremony. Pretty clever…

Cyber-squatter sticks it to President Bush for $35K
I despise cyber-squatting having had two major legal clashes with them in business endeavors. Cyber-squatters think that they’re entrepreneurial and clever because they were able to spend $10 for a site because someone let it lapse. It’s basically the equivalent of saying, “I’m so observant and shrewd,” after keeping up a wallet that you picked up after seeing someone else drop it.
Stories like this one fuel all the potential cyber-squatters out there, because they think it’s like buying a lottery ticket and hitting it big. I hope this moron gets audited. You gotta be pretty cocky to exhtort $35k from a sitting President.
Can’t you see this conversation going down in the White House…
Aide: President Bush, we unfortunately let GWBush library URL lapse and now some punk wants us to pay him a bazillion bucks.
President Bush: Pay him…
Aside to his secretary: Martha, please get me Commissioner Shulman (Director of the IRS) on the phone. I need him to look into something for me.
