Non-Sequiturs: 03.18.09

* Could the United States Congress just get over itself with this AIG “outrage?” Enough already. Look, I’m a Democrat. I’d slap a progressive tax on nuns if they’d let me (more pious and virtuous = more tax, if you’re playing along at home. Eye of a needle baby). But this breathless “they tuk urrr jaaabs!” crap over people getting compensation has got to stop. If we keep on AIG like this, soon redheaded step-children will think they are allowed to speak in public. [Dealbreaker]

* We need to come up with another phrase for “drink the Kool-Aid.” I used to think “It’s. People.” would work, but apparently not enough of the kids have seen that movie. Whatever we’re going to call it, don’t forget to do it, if you want to keep you job and actually add value. [What About Clients?]

* There were a lot of reactions to the Travis the Chimp story yesterday. One really good question emerges from all of the coverage. How is it possibly legal to have a freaking chimpanzee in Connecticut? I mean, I’ve speedily driven through been to Connecticut. That state is barely capable of providing a suitable home to humans.

* I’m pretty sure this ad is racist, I’m just not sure how. Oh well, it’s from Russia so it’s likely that some of the offensive racial stereotyping that I would normally be all over got lost in the translation. Good thing too. It’s too nice a day in NYC to feel oppressed. I’m just going to hop in this cab here and go to the .. hey, HEY, I’m not even heading to Harlem right now you freaking jerk! [Copyranter]

* Don’t forget to join our Above the Law bracket challenge on ESPN (Group name: Above the Law. Password: abovethelaw). It’s free, we have over 300 entries, and somebody will be getting some ATL attire (unless I trounce all of you, which is a distinct possibility). You’ll have to put in your bracket before the games start tomorrow. [Above the Law Tournament Group]

* I don’t know any named plaintiffs that act this way, but I sure have met some named partners who do. [Litination]
