I want to know but I am afraid to Google it.

I’m sitting in the middle of the blizzard right now, and while its wild out there and I don’t recommend anyone go out on the roads at the moment, this is far from the worst storm I’ve lived through in my relatively short time on this planet. Hell, we don’t even have any major outages at the moment despite the wind.…

I’ve had people say that to me as well about my father, and I have the same reaction. I am entirely certain that I will not regret it. I think people with great parents just can’t get it.

Yeah, that was a bad argument and the DOJ attorneys involved knew it. They didn’t have anything else to bring—the balance was squarely with the complainants for a preliminary injunction.

Looks like she is working pretty damn hard right now.

The one that always gets me is when people use “Keep on Rocking in the Free World” as a “woo, america!” song, clearly unaware of any of the other lyrics.

It’s really important to analyze failure and what went wrong. I’m quite interested in where Hillary thinks they went wrong now that she’s had a chance to reflect in the aftermath. Analyzing history and what went wrong when and where is how we learn and hopefully identify what not to do.

I think bad unions do harm. On the other hand, my brother is union and just got fired for a dumb reason and all his coworkers have rallied behind him and then union to file a grievance and put pressure on mangement. I can see why management hates it—my bosses don’t love it when our union grieves stuff—but good for…

At my office, part of the workforce is unionized and part is not. I’m a non-union corporate employee but see some benefits from the union’s collective bargaining because after our employer agrees to something for the union, they might look and say “well shit, it’s going to be more expensive to have two different plans…

My childhood cat who died a few years back used to do that with bread. We’d come into the kitchen to find a shredded loaf of bread. We had to get a bread box specifically to keep him from ruining all bread. He was a sweet cat otherwise.

Good unions do that. My brother is union and they aren’t helping protect him and his coworkers from management at all. It’s a crapshoot.

I find myself humming Pink Floyd’s “Mother” to myself a lot these days, especially when I see one of these articles. 

Speaking as an attorney who became an attorney specifically to do public interest work, you made the better choice.

And that’s not even what sovereign immunity protects against! It prevents citizens from suing the government not the judiciary from ruling on constitutionality.

That last part is extra hilarious to me because I was there for the ‘09 inauguration and was at one if the entrance points where the majority of the ticket holders entering from there got trapped behind the TSA point. I watched them haul replacement security equipment through a crowd of thousands of people, which I’m…

Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but it’s not time for a filibuster yet. These are hearings. The chance for the filibuster is right before the actual vote to delay it.

I think you wildly overestimate how much it costs to send a C&D, especially since I’d be shocked if the Red Cross doesn’t have in-house attorneys that are salaried.

Nintendo usually does have the right legally, though. They do overstep their bounds frequently, especially on YouTube where it’s difficult for most people to fight, but in these type of case they usually aren’t in the wrong legally. In PR terms, yeah, they look like dicks, but they are usually well within their or…

I actually wrote to my senator about that. She’s a professed supporter of small businessines and entrepreneurship, and I made the point that I was considering starting my own business in the next couple of years, but without the ACA I’d be hard pressed to do so. If I can’t get access to affordable health insurance I’d…

I have generally solved this conundrum by giving accidental meat to my dog, which she is pretty down with. A few years ago I accidentally ate chicken while I was in San Juan and vomited it all up before too long. Though I suppose it might have just been bad chicken and not because it was chicken....
