Then again the Adelman's lifted large portions of Phil Greenspun's photo copyright notice (can you copyright a copyright notice?), should he get his $10mil too? Dozens of other people have taken it too.

I would nominate myself, but I fear that I am overqualified :-(

My husband disagrees that former Iraqi information minister Saeed al-Sahaf should be on the list: "He's a genius! Nobody can lie like that!"

From the "Babs" link, MSNBC's weird, unnecessary, and inappropriate swipe at two Hollywood conservatives:

"no one except maybe Charlton Heston or Arnold Schwarzenegger would let themselves be caught implying that their interests come before the public good. "

What? Where did that come from? Why is it in a Streisand article?
