Rachel Maddow likes domain names, she talks about them on her show more than most TV news shows I watch, I have posted about her talking about cyberquatting and domains before and once Aaron Strong commented:
Rachael Maddow remains very bitter that I beat Obama and his group Organizing For Action dot net in a UDRP. We won the UDRP and Maddow went Madcow since.
Yesterday she did a little piece on Liz and Dick Cheney, she mentioned Liz Cheney’s campaign for a Wyoming Senate Seat and how she got in trouble for putting false information on her Wyoming Fishing License application, basically Liz claimed she was more of a Wyoming resident than she really was, apparently she didn’t live in Wyoming as much as she would like the voters to think and she got called out on that when she falsified her Fishing License application, it didn’t work out as planned for Liz and she dropped out of the race.
Rachel then went on to report that Dick and Liz Cheney had just announced a new political group they were forming called “Alliance For A Strong America“, she then pointed out that they did not get the domain name AllianceForAStrongAmerica.com, somebody else had registered the domain yesterday and set up an anti Cheney website, she also mentioned that the .org was registered but went to nowhere, it looks likes somebody in Washington DC registered that one yesterday but I am not sure if they are part of this new Cheney group, as of this posting there is no site up on the .org.
She then said: “Breaking News here, AllianceForAStrongAmerica.net, we actually bought that one today, just as a favor to the Cheney family, so as to make sure it doesn’t fall into nefarious hands, we are keeping that website safe for the Cheney family“.
She finished by saying she was pointing the domain to the Wyoming Fishing License Application website lol, this is the site where Liz Cheney falsified her resident information which became partially responsible for her dropping her bid for the Senate seat. Is Rachel Maddow mocking Liz Cheney? I doubt the Cheney family feels safer knowing Rachel has secured that domain for them and is sending it to the Fishing License site, the Cheney family probably feels the domain has fallen into nefarious hands with Rachel lol…
What about AllianceForAStrongAmerica.us?
Even the politicans don’t know about or want dot .us domain names lol
I thought that too Curmudgeon, poor .us…
Maybe if it was .usa instead of .us more people would get behind it.
I have mentioned it to a few friends and they actually thought it was for US government entities only?
hey mark,
I got a somewhat random question that I never actually thought about. What happens to expiring/in the process of becoming deleted, new gTLDs? There’s no dedicated aftermarket at any level for them right (?), so how would you find them?…not that many would be looking 😉
Traffic looked fun, still waiting on the vid of the table discussion tho lol.
Mark – Just to Clarify, Adam Strong is not Aaron Strong and vice versa…I know even the best of “eyes” can miss it sometimes…Regarding political domains, they remain undervalued due to the money involved and free speech opportunity. There is no shortage of cash and all political sides are playing the game.
I’m sorry Aaron, I corrected it, I know you are two different people I just spaced that one out…
Thanks for fixing that. I did not want Adam to ‘spank’ me again….He seems to like it “bare back” when I am not looking.
Aaron I don’t appreciate your comments. There’s a real easy solution for the confusion Aaron
