You’re making it way too hard. No lawyer in the world punts privilege and argues “I was just thinking out loud.” Now he’s potentially made himself a witness as to how he learned the info. Plus, in some states, the privilege also covers any information a lawyer obtains that’s related to the case, not merely statements…

My opinion of the podcast is 100% dependent on the guest. I can usually handle Klosterman, because he’ll call Simmons out when his theories are ridiculous. But I still can’t believe he does the Jack-O, Cousin Sal, etc. etc. (Yeah, ESPN really dropped the ball failing to monetize the weekly Jack-O segment.)

Of course not. It’s not for everyone.

“Uncapped ad valorem taxes necessarily punish those in areas of increasing values that have no desire to sell their house by raising their taxes.”

That was the thinking behind California’s Prop 13, which has had all sorts of unintended consequences for the real estate market there. But hey, it was a sweet deal for…

I’m sure Turner’s ex-girlfriend is super happy that this girl listed her name in this letter. That was very considerate.
