How could you not use this one? :
"MLK marched down the streets of a small Alabama town singing songs. When he arrived at a voting booth, a woman was asked to guess how many jelly beans were in a jar. When she guessed wrong the police arrested her."
I have a hard time believing that last response was not intentionally wrong.
Corrrect me if I am wrong, but I thought you had to be Eye-talian to join the mafia?
Lol-- theophobia? How about aversion to stupidity?
No post on Porteous getting one step closer to impeachment? For shame!

And to think this is a site for gossipy news about the federal judiciary.
sleep less...what kind of dumb-fuck advice is that?? Study after study shows that lack of adequate sleep adversely affects health.
Eh, I wouldn't get too worked up about Genova's lame advice. As far as I'm concerned, any "professional writer" who can't take the time to proof her own work before publishing isn't really qualified to offer career advice.
I pwn judges!!
What does "pwn" mean?
it means 8:29 spent (spends?) too much time in his moms basement playing video games.
genova's column is a mishmash of good and bad advice.
"sleep less" -- bad advice.
"it's the ambivalence...that's exhausting" -- good advice (or at least an accurate observation).
