A federal judge in Pennsylvania has tossed out a book author's $100 million lawsuit against Oprah Winfrey for violating the copyright in the political booklet, "How America Elects Her Presidents". Charles Harris claimed in his lawsuit that as Winfrey began supporting Barack Obama's presidential campaign, Harris sent 10 copies of his booklet to the The Oprah Winfrey Show in hopes of gaining publicity. On February 16, 2009, Harris claims that Winfrey allegedly read aloud exact questions that were included in the book so he sued her for copyright infringement. The show was about kids learning about the president and the question that Oprah asked that rocked Harris's world was, "Who was the heaviest president?" (William Howard Taft at 327 pounds.) Winfrey filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit saying Harris' lawyers should have known that facts about American presidents are not copyrightable. U.S. District Court Judge Jan DuBois agrees that Harris' work is "not original," and that Winfrey's use of the Fat Taft fact, even if she did learn it from Harris' book, was not an infringement.

Is it possible? According to Will Ferrell, he will be the fulltime replacement for the departing Steve Carrell on "The Office". His character is named Deangelo Vickers.

Jessica is originally from Marietta, GA! I am probably one of the only real "Atlantans" left! I love Atlanta because there is always something going on, and it's just close enough to the beach to get away for a weekend.
