Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All

gzipped_tar writes to tell us that The Codeweavers "Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge" has ended in surprise and free software all day Tuesday (October 28, 2008) at the Codeweavers site. A while back Codeweavers gave President Bush a challenge to meet one of several goals before he left office. One of these goals was to lower gas prices in the Twin Cities below $2.79 a gallon, which has since transpired. "How was I to know that President Bush would take my challenge so seriously? And, give the man credit, I didn't think there was *any* way he could pull it off. But engineering a total market meltdown - wow - that was pure genius. I clearly underestimated the man. I'm ashamed that I goaded him into this and take full responsibility for the collapse of any savings you might have. Please accept our free software as my way of apologizing for the global calamity we now find ourselves embroiled in."

Naah, in Soviet America Iowa has price control over corn. China's market is freer than ours these days, and they /claim/ to be socialist.

The government is not your daddy. Its purpose is not to raid your neighbors' wallets and give you their money.>

I'm a dad - should I be raiding my neighbors' wallets and giving the proceeds to my kids? (Tongue firmly planted in cheek for the humor-impaired.)
