The court needs to ask a question to resolve an ambiguity: what are “booty shorts?” ââ�¡â��

The Bush Administration is trying to convince Congress and the rest of us that it needs permanent permission to spy on on us, and that the telecom industry should have retroactive protection from liability for their actions in helping the gov’t spy on us. How are they trying to convince us of that this is necessary? In this story the sales pitch goes like this: Everything the government and the telecom companies are doing and have done is legal now and always has been, but we have to pass this new law so we can make sure everything the government and the telecom companies are doing and have done is legal now and always has been.

Right.

p.s.: I see that I called yesterday “black tuesday.” It was obviously Thursday. Oops.

Next book: John Hodgeman’s "7 Habits of Highly Explosive People." Very popular among the al-kay-duh!

Redacting DUI video in advance of trial. I hate VHS tapes & machines!

“He’s about to make another error. I am trying to stop him so as to avoid another trip up to see you, but it does not appear as though he is listening.” ââ�¡â��

Happy Vday everyone. May your black hearts beat strong and long.

When u feel like crying @ 8:15 a.m., odds r good this is not going to be a good day. :-(

"Blog" is a very specialized and very inane verb. Only a very small of the population uses it. Only a very small should.

It’s been wintry freezing cold here and I have not been able to rise and shine in the mornings at all. Three bangs on the snooze bar, minimum, every morning, even when I went to bed early the night before. I think I am related to bears. Call Stephen Colbert!

• Life is always busy, so why can’t I ever post anything here? Maybe Audacity had the right idea.
• Amazon has magazine subscriptions on sale. The magazines in my office’s waiting room are four years old. Should I gift a subscription to my office? If so, what would my clients like to read while they wait to see me?
• Chyrp is a new blogging/tumblelogging platform I just learned about. Looks cool.
• I also just learned about this essay by David Foster Wallace from 2005. I’d like to read it but since law school I don’t think I’m smart enough to read Wallace anymore. Law school is a good way to make stupid.
• I spent two days last week at union meetings and they also made me stupid. If I were a poet I would write a poem called “Union Negotiations” and it would be all about freezing temperatures, a world frozen solid so that sound carries for miles w/no meaning, buffeted and interrupted by the howling wind. It’s lucky for you I am not a poet.
• The writer’s strike may be over and that makes me both happy and sad. The strike was depressing to me, but mostly because it went on so long w/so little impact. It seemed to me yet another sign of the waning power of collective action and unions in general. I hope I am wrong.
• I wish I could tell you which sucks more: Mean people or selfish people? Many times meanness and selfishness are the same thing.
