This is a heads up to bloggers of all shapes, sizes and political allegiances (even nasty ones) that use stories from Associated Press. Looks like using AP's content might land you at the wrong end of a legal suit. In just one example, Roger Cadenhead of the Drudge Retort reports that AP is suing a blogger for posts quoting between 33 and 74 words of AP's material! More details from the blogger here.

Just thought you ought to know too.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
