Dentist is her own lawyer, accountant, AND paralegal, as she attempts to explain to a court that:
A) The United States is a corporation
B) Corporations can’t have citizens, therefore there are no US citizens
C) Even if there were citizens, income tax would still be illegal, or something.

It gets wackier as she explains herself:
During a break, Montgomery-Ware discussed why she chose to represent herself without a lawyer. "Only I can claim my status,'' she said. "An attorney can't claim who I am, and that's important."

Montgomery-Ware said her husband passionately believes in their cause and has helped represent her in previous court appearances. She said he was not allowed to represent her in this case and was banned from the Tampa federal courthouse because "he can be loud and boisterous."

It has been hard representing herself without his help, she said, adding that U.S. District Judge James Moody refused to allow most evidence she wants to introduce.

"It's been a challenge. I really don't know what I'm doing," she said.


Also, same state: Journalism students graded on how much ad revenue they pull in.

From the BBC today:
By the time the Skycar goes into production - probably in about six years time - it will be capable of climbing 6,000ft a minute and travelling at up to 400 miles an hour.

From the SEC, four and a half years ago:
As of late 2002, MI's approximately 40 years' of development has resulted in a prototype Skycar capable of hovering about fifteen feet above the ground.

The really important part of the SEC case, of course, is that the makers of the "skycar" are frauds, aiming to bilk the credulous out of their cash. This has been known for years.

And yet, the BBC don't know it.
