A co-worker of mine showed me a picture of her nephew the other day. She said, “He’s auditioning for your website.” The result?

I’ve been rather deliberately quiet of late while I reassess priorities. As I noted in other posts — and I’m too tired to hunt them down and link them right now, but if you’re interested a perusal of my site will probably turn them up — I work a full-time non-legal job (Director of Information […]

Lawrence Lessig writes about the obscenely cheap slap on the wrist FERC gave to the energy companies for ripping us off, enriching Enron executives and other Republicans and triggering not only the budgetary crisis in California, but ultimately resulting in a recall election and the installation of a drain-bamaged cyborg — controlled by those same […]

I’m starting to feel like a sandwich. Okay, do I always have to make sense? Someone posted an odd thing to my other blog. It’s up for sale and someone just basically posted what appeared on the surface to be a “lame comment.” So I deleted it.

George Bush just can’t get enough—of your money. Since the fall of the Hussein government, the failure to find evidence of illegal weapons has been a major political embarrassment for the Bush administration. – “Officials Say Bush Seeks $600 Million to Hunt Iraq Arms,” New York Times, October 2, 2003. This, as the article points […]

Who says tax lawyers have no sense of humor? Term insurance is a pure gamble. The insurance company receives a premium each year; the older you are the higher the premium. As in a horse race, there are winners and losers at the end of the year. The “winners” collect; the losers get no money. […]
