Hail Of A Day

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.
