(part 1 located here and part 2 located here, both also FREE) So the other day I started writing this post, the third in my series, and then this thing happened, and then I had to rename part 3 into part 4 because now part 3 has to be about this thing that happened. Here’s [...]
I have lots of pet peeves. Truckloads of them. Some of them are reasonable, some of them aren’t, although I’m fairly well attached to all of them. My newest one is this oh-so-typical conversation, which I’ve had approximately 8342 times already since the semester’s been over: EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD: So, how’s law school? [...]
Once again, I find myself having to defend people I don’t really like to defend. This is already getting old, and we’re only six months into the Obama administration. Today’s subject: elections in Iran. Prepare yourself for the mother of all blog posts. Last Friday, presidential elections were held in Iran, and everybody’s favorite Holocaust [...]

Here’s something that really, really bugs me. Despite the fact that anyone with email presumably also has the interwebz at their disposal, there are still tons of emails that get circulated that are just plain false and misleading. They are designed to scare people into thinking something terrible is about to happen/has already happened and [...]
Tonight I watched this poor schmuck Levi Johnston on Larry King. Hey, there was nothing else on, okay? For your reading pleasure, I have compiled my offensive, cynical, and jaded thoughts below. Levi totally needs to be on either some Prozac or Wellbutrin or something, maybe both. This guy has the flattest affect of anybody [...]
Time for a little review on AIG. First, let’s recall that we as taxpayers have a $170 billion dollar investment in AIG, which amounts to an 80% ownership of the company. Of course, in real life, you and I don’t have any say in how AIG is run. We didn’t even get asked if we [...]
Meet my new favorite congressman, Thaddeus McCotter, representing the 11th district in Michigan. He had a particularly brilliant 2 minutes on the House floor the other day in response to the “outrage” on display over the AIG bonus money fiasco. Love this guy. Here is his YouTube page. Also, you can follow him on Twitter [...]
Certain esteemed *ahem* members of the US Senate and the Obama administration are shocked — shocked, I say!! — to learn that AIG is using some of the taxpayer-funded bailout money it received to pay for executive bonuses. Here are the numbers: bailout money received by AIG: $170,000,000,000bonus money paid to AIG execs: $165,000,000 This [...]
There are a few unfortunate hours each day during which there is no Law & Order rerun to watch, and sometimes I’ll switch to Food Network in order to keep from having to turn off my new fabulous TV while waiting for the next Law & Order rerun. I’ve discovered a directly proportional relationship between [...]
