10:21 am BREAKING Cuban now driving through downtown San Antonio, looking for the place in the Mercado for fresh chorizo. CORRECTION: He is looking for Mexican sausage. CORRECTION TO THE CORRECTION: My sources are telling me chorizo IS Mexican sausage and that tweeting about sausage reveals subconscious homosexual…

A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of a sheep. Time to attack the day.

It’s not a big leap to suggest that meat is a tremendous waste to begin with. If everyone stopped eating meat, it would make vegetables and grain cheaper for the whole world. So your precious lamb chops, cooked just the way you like it, are affecting other people’s ability to be well-nourished.

This is so sad—she was so young! I loved that movie when I was a kid and remember thinking that she was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen...especially in that amazing white suede fringe outfit. RIP, Amanda.

I thought the server and chef were in the wrong, and the customer was in the right on this. He ordered, compromised with the chef, and tipped appropriately. It’s a little silly to me to say he ruined a piece of meat when he ate it.

I meant difficult witnesses. Depositions for the most part are straightforward. “List your job duties.” “What does page 5 of the report say?” “Recall the conversation you had with the plaintiff the morning of May 8.” Every so often you run across a case where the witness hates the attorney and hates the fact that they…

Some restaurants will state on the menu that they won’t serve certain cuts well done. I know of one in the DC area that does this.

Working in litigation for a very long time, I have a favorite pastime of reading depositions involving difficult clients and lawyers. This one takes the cake. I’m on page 14 of Plaintiff’s motion and I want to punch Mr. O’Connor in the face. I hope this dep ends with Ms. Troiani actually punching him in the face.

I have watched the tape. She gets to the bar first and turns around. He grabs her left wrist so she starts to pull away. He then grabs her right wrist and prevents her from leaving. She is constantly trying to pull away from him and then ends up throwing the first punch in self defense.

Look at his hand, he has ahold of her arm and looks to be pulling her towards him. That in itself is grounds to defend yourself. In that situation (we don’t see anything prior) she has the right to use whatever force necessary short of lethal to protect herself.

Actually, when deconstructed, the transaction is far simpler: I’m paying him money to cook food that I will then consume. He can judge me all he wants, as long as the meat on my plate looks like I envisioned it when I placed the order. I am not doing it out of spite or to purposely “offend” him with my “rudeness”. I…

As a non-American my understanding of the arguments around the Confederate (Battle) Flag go like this -

I just love this game. Right now I have a cheating game going where I have used save/load to get every “Lost City Rumor” on the map to be a fountain of youth. I think my population is close to 1000 by now.

All of this bullshit comes from our general population’s scientific illiteracy. It’s scary how little students are expected to know about biology and medicine by the time they graduate high school. Most are totally incapable of comprehending how vaccines work. At the end of the year, I devoted two entire lessons to…

One reason the Spurs can get guys at below-market rates is that they can keep an awful lot more of their take-home pay in a state with no income tax and a city with super cheap real estate. Back-of-the-rotation guys can live like gods in South Texas.

I have a friend who lives in California and is dangerously allergic to vaccines. Like, she legit almost died when she got her first round as an infant. So she’s never been vaccinated other than that. When she applied to grad school in the Bay Area, she had to provide proof of vaccinations or apply for an exemption.…

Being famous is enough. A public official is a public official. Someone who thrusts themselves to the forefront of particular public controversies in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved is a limited public figure, and defamation actions are going to be harder for them to maintain with respect to…

There is a presumption in favor of access to court files, which are public records, without regard to whether the person is famous or not. The fact that someone is a public figure (he doesn’t need to be a public official) is a factor that cuts in favor of lifting the seal, but you and I would still have to meet a…

Wait we can just say whatever we want to be and it comes true? I don’t want to be saddled with a quarter of a million in student loan debt!
