May I take this space to recommend your pieces on Mayweather/Black Code fighters?

let’s all take this test

I am 66 years old. I’ve lived through parental physical abuse, assassinations, race riots, Nam, homelessness, police brutality, bad acid trips, a chainsaw accident to my left hand (I mention this because I play several instruments, but not very well since then), 50 years of bipolarity (40 years undiagnosed and thus…

Mr. Finger: You are a hero such as these parlous times demand. Thank you for your service. Peace and blessings be upon you.

as I kept telling my wife, who I try to remind of my political acumen on a daily basis, much to her edification and wonderment, they absolutely had to pick someone for the ticket who was charismatic, who would energize the Bernistas, who had some cred with the working class—all areas in which HRC was deficient. I…

In my state (WA), as long as there is consent by both parties and full disclosures by counsel, insofar as conflicts of interests being waived etc., the parties can retain the same atty, or even just a professional mediator, to settle the issues. Very cost-effective, and nothing need take place before a court, The Land…

I consider Nietzsche to be one of the very wildest of wild minds as well as a consummate literary artist. he is taught in philosophy classes because where the hell else could you put him.

hear, hear.

Your argument bears consideration—however...

in my state (WA), a “pattern of harassment” can be found if there is simply more than one incident

but here’s the thing: Americans are not taught to think in any way whatsoever. you can breeze thru 16 years of education, garner nothing but 4.0's, and never have to stumble over a philosophy course, let alone a semester of applied logic—which latter should be taught in elementary school.

One doesn’t”pass” the LSAT. You get a score. And crippling anxiety. And if you fuck up, you’ll wind up matriculating at the Florida Intercoastal Waterway School of Law. Then after 3 years, one takes the Bar Exam. Again, one gets a score, but in my state (WA) back then, one didn’t learn the score, except upon the event…

I get it with the CA civil action, but the NY AG has a very good criminal case against Il Douche, and those that have been defrauded aren’t the AG’s clients—the AG has an obligation to the People—I’d like to see the trial go forward—of course there’d be an appeal, but in the meantime, a felony jacket on that…

So Tony Romo’s a bigamist?

go to change.org and sign the petition urging electors to vote their consciences and support HRC. it’s worth a shot, and in any case, it’s a statement worth making.

here in WA state this relief is provided for under certain circumstances, but a) it will depend on DE statues/case law, and b) it might depend on Judge G’s Findings of Fact, or c) maybe the appeals court in this instance will review the case de novo (that is, consider both the facts and the law—usually a higher court…

thanks for providing the subject matter of many nightmares to come.

please share with us your noble profession. I’m truly interested, as I conjecture others might be. I promise to be nice.

wow—while despair and schadenfreude are constructions spun of the finest fairy gossamer, granola is real, one must have coin of the realm in order to acquire it. I felicitate you, and must ask—is it fancy granola? If so, are you doing family law? If so, you are made of sterner stuff than I.

Sirrah: the reach and breadth of your expositions are marvelous things, they are. And how you have made me ashamed to have wasted my career defending indigent persons for peanuts. And O! how I now revile my colleagues of the defense bar, lawyers of surpassing excellence who could have been cleaning up doing…
