Hey Lat, why don't you do a thread on asshole law professors? I think it's about time those folks got some press.
Wow-I worked for Branch Law Firm. Somehow, I'm not really surprised by that verdict.
Am I a disgruntled Republican? Well, any self-proclaimed Republican who is not disgruntled today is neither a conservative nor a Republican.
Liberals, think how you would feel if Zell Miller had just been nominated as the presidential candidate of the Democrat Party for 2008. This is how I feel today.
is Crossen really the former head of white-collar crime at Foley Hoag?
Fed Soc - McCain is the educated and open-minded conservative's republican. it's hilarious to watch tom delay say that the conservative position on global warming is that NONE of it is man-made. that's not the conservative position. that's the position oblivious to reality, science, and intelligence. he makes me ill.
