* Just once I'd like to see a judge run on a platform of "In my court, families are the real criminals." You know, like they do in China. [f/k/a]

* If you get drunk and ride a mechanical bull, people laugh with you. If you get drunk and fall off the mechanical bull and hurt yourself, people laugh at you. If you sue the mechanical bull operators for your public display of drunken buffoonery, lady justice weeps softly in the night. [Eater]

I liked this post, but there's no mention of Heart and their record label sending a cease and desist order to the Republicans for playing Barracuda.

That link about solo practicioners is a bore. It just demonstrates that small time lawyers have a chip on their shoulders AND get paid less.

True #9. Many solos are bitter that they never had a shot at BIGLAW coming out of law school. Then again, there are plenty of mid-level associate douchebags (and perhaps partners) in BIGLAW whose identities are inexorably tied to their BIGLAW firms.

Since most BIGLAW associates don't make partner, a significant percentage of those go into SMALLAW or SOLO. While they may be bitter that they didn't make partner, they are probably a bit happier (and perhaps wealthier) a few years out from BIGLAW.
