Hi,

Seems someone was asleep at the switch at web developer Yuma Solutions following their sale of the domain name www.georgewbushlibrary.com to the George W. Bush Library Foundation (for $3,000). They let the "property" expire, and it was snatched up for $10 by an enterprising - um - snatcher at rival development firm Illuminati Karate.

Having sort of promised the presidential library folks that they could use it, the flat-footed Yuma crew were forced to buy the domain name back from the IK team, with a settled-on sum of $35,000 changing hands.

One wonders whether the Yuma folks first tried running a few alternate domain names past their Bush Library clients.

They should have kept it, and developed a corruption and war crimes web library.
