An Email From the Former Solicitor General?
Could it be? A message for ATL from Paul Clement, the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States?
(It’s not completely out of the question. We have written about Clement a fair amount, and we have also met him in person.)
The lowercase type for his name seemed a little odd. But some very prominent attorneys, like John Quinn of Quinn Emanuel, use lowercase type for email messages. Based on the subject line, “Order,” we guessed that perhaps the former SG wanted to share a funny court order with us.
Read the message from Paul Clement, after the jump.
Of course we opened the email message from “Paul Clement” regarding an “Order”:
Let’s give credit where credit is due: those spammers get better and better each day.

"....with a size 2 inch inside demension"
that's what she said
i get spam all the time, you don't see me blogging about it.
Shouldn't the lead story this morning be the massive carnage on wall street and the fact that it's going to take 20% or so of your readership down with it? That may be important...
Thanks 3, well stated.
What a waste of my time. Lat you should be ashamed!
What, did they run out of water, or boards?
This is the best you can come up with after the blood bath that took place yesterday.

3 & 4 - Die like warriors, stop sniveling. You're all bravado until it becomes real. What chicken shits.
Guys at my highschool used to blog about SPAM emails when there were more important things going on all the time. It was no big deal.

This post may suck worse than any other post in recent history.
this is up there with Hope Winters
This reads more like an elie post.
If you are looking for a blog covering important stuff (i.e. the financial market), you should go to Dealbreaker. If you are looking for substantive posts second only to PerezHilton.com, ATL is your kinda blog (as of recent). I can't wait for the post where Elie dishes about what color socks Justice Scalia wears when he is about to write a dissenting opinion...I'm thinking tangerine.
Suck it, Mystal!

The WSJ has already posted two law related stories.
Massive carnage on Wall St? I don't buy all the hype. It's not a "once in a century" financial crisis. Sure the stock markets took a big hit. It's the biggest drop since...2001. Remember how everyone lost their jobs and lava poured out of sewer grates and leviathans mutated into mammals and came on the land and ate everyone in 2001?
This is actually quite amusing. Blogger actually creates something for a change, and the haters are out in force. Whatever.
I've pooped out things that were more interesting than this. Worst. Post. Ever.
read between the lines numbnuts, look at the other subject lines in his inbox....
so what? I got a spam from a name who had the same name as a judge I had applied to a clerkship for. It freaked the fuck out of me when the email was about Viagra and boners.
That email looks like it was written by Ellie
This post makes me thirsty.
3 and 4 = so deluded
everything is fine
the firms did some of the biggest mergers back in 07, and thus all is well
silly lawyers...
16 thinks the problem is the stock market.
16 = GULC part timer.
People aren't freaking out b/c the markets dropped 4%+. The panic is b/c of the reason for the drop. The dot-com bust was expected. At the beg. of '08, few could have predicted we'd see LEH, BSC, MER and AIG effectively go down. That's bigger than some random dot-com w/an insane valuation tanking. This is worse than '01.
Wall Street in meltdown and you think we want to read your junk mail? Oh and 16, I have some Lehman aaa rated debt to sell you. Retard.

#24 is younger than 30. I can't imagine what ATL would have looked like in the 70s when nyc went bankrupt.

geez people, has the downturn in the economy killed everyone's sense of humor too? I, for one, thought this post was fun, and a nice change from the constant tales of bloodbath at this firm or that bank.
if all you want to read is that, i suggest the wsj instead of atl...
Clement is teaching at GULC this semester
Did Elie take over Lat's account?!
rubber hose!!!
