A federal appeals court Friday lifted a lower court's injunction against publication of "The Wind Done Gone,'' a parody of the Civil War classic "Gone With the Wind.'' [...] The Nashville, Tenn., writer said she wrote the book so that black and white Americans could have a "belly laugh'' together about the painful period of slavery and the Civil War.
Well, it'll be interesting to see how long this injunction stays lifted. I would imagine the swiftness with which the injunction was dismissed might be indicative of the court's opinion of the merits of the Mitchell estate's case. I would also imagine that the Mitchell estate will appeal both to the full court of appeals, and to the Supreme Court if they lose. So I don't think we're yet done hearing about all this.
