Treppless Gubelets
Sigh. It's the passing of an era. Dennis Montgomery has settled up with Warren Trepp in their dispute over who owned that Muslim-pattern recognition software that Montgomery wrote. Trepp's company, eTreppid, sold the software to the U.S. Government with a little help from then backbencher Jim Gibbons and perhaps a little alleged palm greasing of same along the way. According to the settlement, Montgomery keeps control over the rights to the software, but will pay Trepp a percentage of any profits from it. Also, Montgomery has agreed to pay “compensation for certain allegations made” against Trepp. (RGJ) Whether that includes ALL the allegations of greasing the Gube's palms, isn't clear. Nor is it clear if the pair will face any criminal prosecution for any alleged palm greasing–along with the Gube. Surely they deserve some jail time for that napkinhead pic alone.- Filling the Gube-vacuum in Nevada, along comes another Gube-wannabe, Speakstress Barbara Buckley, this time with some townhall meetings about stabilizing state government's funding base. After two years of Gibbers, everybody's shocked at the concurrence of the words "leadership" and "vision" in the same sentence as the name of a state leader. (VTS,RJ) The Governor's office, which tends to be thin-skinned about it's total lack of leadership and competence, immediately attacked Buckley for not being governor of the state, insisted that the word "leadership" is a code word for "taxes," and that's why the governor won't have any of it. That's a paraphrase, but not much. (RJ) As for the not being governor bit, well, give her a little time, fellers.
- Gibbers stopped by a mining convention in Vegas a few days ago, where mining CEO's are so flush with cash they threw the biggest shindig ever. Pity nobody can think of anything else to do with all that money instead of spending it on liquor and hookers. (RJ) The mining guys are particularly excited about the 1.2 billion tons of coal they expect to mine this year–and burn in the Gube's shiny new coal plants. No wonder they invited him. He's the best thing to happen to the biz since that 1872 mining act.
- Holy crap. Here's a guy who'll give you college credit if you write a paper about Gibbons. (UCDav) And three pages, double spaced? Does it matter what font size we use, perfesser?

WHAT DOES “SETTLEMENT” DO TO OTHER CHARGES?
What about Monty’s charges that the goober accepted huge amounts of cash and stuff from his friend for a congressional military kickback contract…during
THAT (click) lavish sea cruise?
Has the Court agreed with this “Settlement”?
Does a “Settlement” mean that the FBI is
going to cancel its 2 year long investigation
into these charges?

IF THAT’S A SILVER LINING…
The RGJ and the goober need to define
“Silver Lining” (click).
Everything is down… badly.
