Is anyone else sick of TaxProf's douchey posts, and ATL's daily link to them?

Why you gotta knock the Bills? Make fun of Buffalo all you want--it sucks hard, which is why everyone who can leave has. (Free babysitting isn't worth sticking around for.) But leave the Bills and Sabres alone. kthxbai.

what the hell does "Pittsburgh pwns Bills" mean? You ignorant affirmative action beneficiaries need to start learning to spell. Especially when issuing Executive Orders. Gotta concentrate, big guy.

I can't wait until Nervous T10 1L becomes Depressed, Drug-addled T10 2L when he realizes just how crummy firm job prospects will be in OCI next year. Better make some straight As.

It appears we have grouchy unaware lawyer vs. geeky gaming culture in a battle of who's least happy. This should be a tight one.

Wurtzel ... completely expected, and yet still epic, fail.

Can't wait for her self-indulgent rant on law school and the profession.

Nervous T-10 iL cant get the job. Even if a female, by definition she's not pretty enough--she goes to a T-10 school.

I normally don't revel in somebody's bar failure, but it was so clear from her interviews that Wurtzel thought she was intellectually above the whole law school/practice thing that I must admit to some glee.

Wurtzel's really nice and doesn't deserve the schadenfreude. Here's hoping your karma comes back to bite you.

@25 Nun-huh. Nice? Not Liz. Not in a million years. On the other hand, a nice serving of humility might help her become a slightly better person. Better author? Naw, nothing can help there.

The owner of the Steelers supported Obama and now has to sell his team? That doesn't make any sence.... Wait! The Steelers are owned by Dan Rooney of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney. Buchanan is a TTT firm and falling fast. Firm's reflect the intelligence of their partners. Now I understand it!
