* Making career services useful. Or at least trying to make career services useful. Or maybe … trying to make yourself think that career services will become useful at some point before you end up living in a van down by the river. [BBLP via LexHub]
* Looks like Tim Geithner will be the new Treasury Secretary. Apparently, this job is not so easy a caveman could do it. Sorry Larry. [Dealbreaker]
* It looks like the EMS response time to the Mukasey situation last night was really slow. [Suits & Sentences]
* Are “legacies” illegal? Should they be? Would it be possible to fill a crew team without them? [TaxProf Blog]
* Mark Cuban’s lawyer-blogger-brother Brian once again rises to the defense of his sibling. [The Cuban Revolution]
* Pamela Anderson (esq. I’m sure) is in favor of castration for every “molester or potential molester.” Apparently, Pam doesn’t know that “Everybody who Cares about Pam Anderson” is a wholly owned subsidiary of “Potential Molesters.” [Popsquire]

So, some celebrity said something somewhere about something they know little-nothing about, and without really thinking about it? *yawn*
PLEASE MAKE THE FIRST LINK RELEVANT TO THE PICTURE, TYIA
Mmmmm....bouncy bouncy.
Mmmmm....hep C.
Where the hell are my S&C Bonus #'s??
I must say, those things speak for themselves.
There is NO excuse for having WOMEN always showing to much CLEAVEGE on this Blawg. My Boyfriend thinks I am attractive, and I am, even though I do NOT dress scandaliously. A woman like that could NOT work in a law firm if she wants to be taken seriously. That woudl not make "career services" useful for her. All the woman working in MY career services at my LAW SCHOOL dressed proper.
There should be a uniform law baring publication of PICTURES like this on LEGAL Blawgs, just like the Uniform Probate Code. But they should NOT have to wear uniforms, that is not what I mean.
Damn, you are an idiot, Elie. Your comments were not pithy, relevant, witty, or intelligible.

Hey, my Office of Career Services was awesome!! They spell-checked my resume, told me to network, then cock-punched me on the way out the door! Thanks OCS!!

Apparently, Pam doesn't know that "Everybody who Cares about Pam Anderson" is a wholly owned subsidiary of "Potential Molesters."
I loved every second of reading that.
Apparently, the fact that Larry Summers even mentioned the possibility of something which is completely and wholly apparent to anyone who ever worked in science or math, including female scientists and mathematicians, makes him a "caveman".
I find this interesting. Does the fact that Elie eats more calories than Jersey cattle make him, "fat"?

@17: Larry's problem is that there is no feedback loop between his brain and his mouth. Whatever he thinks pops right out. My favorite was when he was at the World Bank and he suggested that finding a way to export air pollution to third world (or developing, for the PC folks) countries would be good for all. He is right, but some things you just don't say out loud. He is smart as hell, so he has done well despite this, but Treasury Secy is right out. The new administration would spend all its time apologizing for his comments. It would be funny though to get candid thoughts about what is going on.
Hey Elie, do you want me to help you with image resizing? I'm being serious.
19, 17 here. I don't disagree with a word of what you wrote: my quibble is not with the selection of Geithner at Treasury, but with Elie's characterization of Summers as a "caveman" because he expressed a view that's out of line with PC dogma.
I don't come to this website for the editorializing of a quasi-unemployed 30 year old who washed out at Debevoise and sits around in his mumu all day. And I certainly don't come for the didactic lectures. I'd appreciate it if Elie would give me bonus gossip, layoff rumors, and then stayed the fuck out of the way. Lat managed to do this: is it really too much to ask?
Co-sign 16. That was the funniest thing I've read on this blog in weeks. I read it four times and it was funny every. single. time.
well done, elie.
Agreed 16, 21 - without fear of hyperbole, the funniest thing I've ever read on this blog.
I was also going to post how funny that line was, then I saw 16, 21 and 22 beat me to it. Glad to see at least some of the readership has a good sense of humor.
Get this disgusting whore off this website. All you men are disgusting and pathetic and not real men. Why don't you get off your stupid computers and be good people? Plastic sacks inside a woman's chest are stupid, and the fact that they turn you on make you pretty lame. Go find a real woman to love, not a fake one to lust after.
LOSERS!
Nervous T10 1L: Duke just beat the crap out of Michigan. And please give up hope on a firm job as a 1L. You're way more screwed then you can possible imagine.
And, Elie, "crew team" is redundant. I know you have an aversion to physical exertion, but Christ, do some homework.

Pam Anderson comment = Best Elie Snark Ever. Keep it up - though Larry Summers' status as "Captain Obvious" doesn't make him a sexist caveman. Boys and girls are different. One is not better than the other, but they are different. Period.
Co-sign 17. Elie, when you're fumbling with the English language in trying to post regular news stories, you're subpar. When you're trying to shove your half-brained identity politics down your readership's throats, you're awful. Give it a rest.
