California appellate court’s Justice Bedsworth lets loose on people who don’t know the value of a dollar.
Given that the U.S. Congress is once again rehashing what the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform did last year (and their Commission’s Final Report is on their website), I don’t blame the Justice for his testiness.
See his monthly column, “Criminal Waste of Space,” in the Orange County Bar Association’s monthly magazine, July 2011 OC Lawyer:

Hot Coffee, the movie, a documentary film by Oregon attorney, Susan Saladoff:
Excerpt from Hot Coffee webpage: “…Is Justice Being Served?
Seinfeld mocked it. Letterman ranked it in his top ten list. And more than fifteen years later, its infamy continues. Everyone knows the McDonald’s coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of America’s legal system, but is that a fair rendition of the facts? Hot Coffee reveals what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the Albuquerque woman who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald’s, while exploring how and why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort and to what end. After seeing this film, you will decide who really profited from spilling hot coffee.” [Link to Hot Coffee, the Movie, website.]

The O(range) C(ounty) Bar Association monthly OC Lawyer Magazine, June 2011 issue, brings us another wise and wacky article from our favorite appellate court judge:
A New Kind of Custody Battle, by Justice William W. Bedsworth:
Excerpt:  “… And the adults you see in divorce court are usually going out of their way to be unlikable. I’m afraid with my background, I would have found myself sentencing most of those people instead of divorcing them.(3)

About those Reading Tree and Thrift Recycling Management “Blue Bins” (not to be confused with the Blue Screen of Death):
Just as when something labeled “natural” isn’t always natural or naturally good for you, something labeled “local” or “charitable” isn’t always local or charitable. (E.g. “natural” melatonin brownies may not be all that natural – just sayin’ – and so is the NYT.)  Sometimes local and charitable really is local and charitable or a little bit of either or both.
Anyway! — For anyone reading about the Reading Tree “Blue Bins,” and wanting to take a position, keep in mind that there are many facts to consider, including the one that books need to be recycled (or otherwise disposed of). There are many other issues to consider, too, such as:  free speech, marketing, and competition law, interstate commerce, small business, nonprofit, and tax exempt organizations law, and the law of charities.

Wikipedia has a very helpful dot gov page that explains the process for the U.S., for other countries, and for lesser-included (so to speak) government entities such as cities and counties.
For U.S. dot gov and those lesser-included government entity dot gov naming and URL claiming instructions, where else would you go, but to dot gov.gov?
