My Business Organizations (Corporate Law) Final Examination, which I thought was last week, is today. I’m probably no more prepared for taking it tonight than I was last week. Frankly, I’ve still been so irritated about that course that I’ve nearly completely blown it off this semester; I’ve hardly done any reading or studying. (This, […]

Anti-abortionists are walking a dangerous path these days. But in a world which is increasingly unable to make distinctions, it’s no large surprise. After all, this is a world which can’t tell the difference between al Queda and Iraq, doesn’t understand that it’s possible to be against religion in government without being against religion or […]

The Congressional Record from yesterday contains an interesting speech (with additional text) by U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel. This speech should be read by anyone who is seriously concerned about the future of the United States.

Things have been pretty busy lately as anyone who notes the dearth of entries here will realize. But I at least need to take a moment to give my wife — whom I’ve hardly seen since the weekend due to our schedules — a flower. This is a picture taken at our old house — […]

I realize that based upon prevailing views in our civilized nation, this is probably not a popular view, but I find this story quite horrific. It’s just one more (in a long list) of reasons that push me towards Criminal Defense Law once I’ve passed the bar. I also don’t know how much longer this […]
