A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

WELL, IF PHIL THROWING AND MICHAEL THINGS RUN AS A PRESIDENTIAL TICKET, WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE: As the Washington Post reports (link via Volokh), the hot investment today is Kerry/Edwards domain names. The luckiest of them all? Indiana resident Kerry Edwards, who bought his name a couple of years back. So far, the Kerry camp has declined to purchase the domain name, for which he's asking "five figures." The owner of other domain names is demanding similar payment. As a trademark lawyer, I can say that maybe you should have done a domain name search--we always do that as mark clearance just to make sure no one's using your name and causing you to expend more. Of course, then, lord knows what we might have gotten as a VP nominee.
