WTF does "innocent" mean with respect to the guantanamo detainees? Are these like the 60+ "innocent" detainees that we've already caught on engaging in terrorist activities again after having released them? They should just send everyone in detention to a friendly mid-east dictatorship with a strong-man leader (the kind American Democrats swoon over) and let them "deal with" the issue.

I noticed DPW also picked up a representation of Star Tribune in their BK case.

Is Cahill having layoffs?

layoffs at philly's blank rome and cozen. sucks to be looking for work right now.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don't think that there is a deal that I have worked on in the last 24 months that has been successful.

I would say that more than half of the deals that I have worked on the last 18 months haven't advanced beyond basic financing commitments that were secured at closing.

It's almost as if half my legal career never actually happened.

"deemed innocent" -- excellent legal analysis !

I missed Kash's ASS LOBSTER this weekend.

Read the NYT story 2. It's written in short, easy to understand language. Even an ignorant drooler like you ought to be able to figure out what innocent means. The scum that was Bush is just beginning to surface. Prepare for more now that the press has the guts to talk about it.

2-

"innocent" as in "the hijackers were innocent . . . until they flew the plane into the WTC."

SERIOUS QUESTION: Can we please have a post about how hard it is to find a job right now for everybody that's been laid off / whatever?

BITCH SPREAD DEM BUTTCHEEKS OPEN SO I CAN BUTTER UP THAT LOBSTER IN YOUR JUICY INSIDES!

Cahill layoffs?

In honor of MLK, I will NAIL SHEEP in black face!

SCROTUS. Heh.

Wait, is that "SCOTUS"? My bad.

What a liberal jerk off this website has become. Why would you want to bring up the poor at the expense of bringing you down?

17 - Because the rich can handle it better?

I, personally, would rather live in a society where a few people don't get to buy that Mercedes they've had their eye, and a few more people don't have to starve to death. You?

My gets my Mercedes > other people starving to death

18 - Agreed. Actually I think 95% of people would agree the second they see human suffering. Its easy to say you want your mercedes and f*ck everybody else when your sitting in your law firm office thinking about how much it sucks to be working on a federal holiday or any other day.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090113/ts_nm/us_usa_guantanamo_2

61 Gitmo prisoners have returned to a life of terrorism. There we are even. We'll keep it open.

MLK is King of the Catfish!

18/20: that's an excellent approach--make sure we're all aware of human suffering and then . . . STOP TAKING 45% OF OUR FUCKING INCOME AND LET US DECIDE IF WE AGREE.

Oh, wait, you're the kind of fucking swine that would never agree to that, because whether someone gets their Section 8 housing is important enough to steal from me. Don't ever bring "agreement" into this discussion you animal: you support a system of forced redistribution, period. You think that because you like the idea, you can force others to do likewise.

Don't delude yourself that others "would agree" if they only opened their eyes like you have. You're such an arrogant piece of trash.

23, simmer down. You should stick to those nutjob taxes-are-unconstitutional websites. You might find some friends.

> Prepare for more now that the press has the guts to talk about it.

Anyone who seriously believes that the the press doesn't have the 'guts' to criticize Bush is too stupid to be a lawyer.

23 = Wesley Snipes.

Yes 23 because 0 income taxes is really feasible. Time to go colonize your own undiscovered island you mongoloid.

Distribute taxes to services we all use...defense, infrastructure, utilities. Stop using taxes to support welfare and medicaid. Its not my fault you sucked so bad in life that you need the government to support your vices.

28 - How original. Now go back in your hole.

If you are a student of history, you will realise that the societies with the greatest desparities of wealth are the happiest. The peasants take the shaft pretty willingly. There is less violence, more stability, and you dont have to settle for a mercedes, you can drive the rolls or the bentley. We should allow the wealthy to rape the nation's wealth to the extent that their will allows them, and allow them to brutally subjugate the lower classes in order to do so.

18, I presume that you've given away nearly all your money every year, so that you're no better than the poorest of the poor?
Because if you're even a dollar richer than the two poorest people in the world, that dollar needs to be redistributed to those two people. You can afford it better than them, no?

Oh wait, what's that? You're only in favor of redistributing wealth when it's other people's wealth and not your own? I gotcha.

anyone fuckin know where to find that gay ass fuckin course, passers of the ny july 2008 exam have to take to apply for admission?

Anyone know why people like 30, 31 post lame things like that on a law blog? I mean, we're too old and educated (damn that's scary given the crap posted on here) to be (i) persuaded or (ii) offended. So wtf? lol.

34, it's a liberal trying to be sarcastic, but failing miserably.

34- I guess your old, educated brain is unable to grasp obvious sarcasm

How is a progressive income tax a redistribution of wealth? You pay the same, percentage-wise, as everyone else in the country on the amounts you earn.

Also, maybe poor people aren't stupid but maybe they don't have opportunities. Last time I looked at my firm I didn't see too many people growing up in the ghetto and all of a sudden having opportunities or money to attend Ivy league schools. It's real easy to preach that "no redistribution" idea when you grew up in a middle-upper class family and never actually had to struggle. I'll admit that I'm in the same boat as most of you but at least I'm going to not complain about it.

37, are you seriously that stupid with your first question?

Also, do you know what refundable tax credits are?

37, high grades + high SAT + initiative + student loans = ivy league. Most white people are not rich.

hth

What we learned today...MLK looks like a catfish. The end.

Now that Obama is duh presdnt I wont have to pay my mortgage. Lourdie!

39, your formula for Ivy league is on the money. Therefore, white people must just be more intelligent b/c they're the majority at Ivy leagues. 50 years ago men must have been more intelligent too - i guess women just caught up.

42- I wouldnt say women have caught up, they just persistantly nag their way to admittance

Charter Communications was a lousy company that deserved to fail.

But at least it's nice to see the bigoted, hateful Repugnicunts on here, spewing their anger about why the poor and downtrodden aren't even more miserable than they already are.

Yeah 44 - we're all bigoted and hateful. Unlike you folks on the "tolerant" left who just LOVE Christians and always have kind things to say about them, correct?

now stfu and go back to the dailykos website...

I WANNA SMEAR MY CUM ON ELIE'S BUM!

"How is a progressive income tax a redistribution of wealth? You pay the same, percentage-wise, as everyone else in the country on the amounts you earn."

Hahahaha lmao omfg doofus!

"Therefore, white people must just be more intelligent b/c they're the majority at Ivy leagues."

In a word, yes. On average (and that's a huge qualifier), whites have higher IQ's than blacks and hispanics (though they lag behind Asians and the sub-group of Ashkenazi Jews). You could attribute this to culture, parental resources, genetics, or some combination thereof. Like it or not though, that's how it is. The only way to eradicate racial disparities is to eradicate races. That's why I suggest that everyone just start fucking.
