* Mayoral control of New York City schools could end tonight if the New York State Senate doesn’t act. But hey, politicians acting like children can’t very well care about children. This is a good time to learn the word “mishigas.” [Huffington Post]
* Was Bernie Madoff six times more evil than the Jeff Skilling? [Bloomberg]

So wait, Latham is the only "top" firm that's conducted mass layoffs? Latham NY has laid off 45% of its associates this years, including half the first years.
So wait, no other top firm has done that?
Well done other top firms. You're taking a hit now, but you're pwning Latham for years to come in recruiting, which will translate into better services and more work for you. Sorry Latham is so short sighted/desperate. Epic fail.
I bet Bob Dell has a small one
MysTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTtal
Give us something worth reading today.
Don't forget the reverse Drexel effect
Not as deadly as Kings. That show pisses me off.
5. Kings is awesome. Awesome I say. Please watch it.

Elie,
We need something to read!
Did Kash really gross over $300k last year? Self-made women tend to be frugal and cautious with their money. Trust fund babes spread it around and let the good times roll.
I really didn't like Kings, but I sort of watched it in passing while drinking a beer and reading.
Elie - please tell us that Eliza is on permanent vacation. She brought this blog to a new low when she would excerpt news items that ATL already had full posts on.
filing administrative complaints with the D.C. bar is vigilante justice?
Elie- For hazing purposes, you should post a thread about Barbri practice MBE results...
Mystal, when did you begin to develop moobs? Who bought you your first training manzere?
The people who want to shorten the name of Rhode Island are race-baiters who want to remain relevant in a time when a black man has risen to the highest office in the land.
I hear that there are very few applicants for the biglaw lateral associate job postings.
Chode Island anyone?
#8 - How do you know Kash made $300K last year?
What does the last story have to do with law other then OSHA and RCRA violations?
Kash and I met at a Laura Brannigan concert.
Only mishagoyim would write it as "mishigas" -- it sounds more like mishagaas.
Speaking of Kings, anyone know where I can check out the Michelle Benjamin Photo Shoot?
Elie-
Kings is dying an ignominious death, slowly shunted from slot to slot, waiting for the inevitable...
Sort of like you.
5.
Why would anyone buy the new DVR service if you can't skip the commercials? Skipping the commercials with Tivo cuts down on the time it takes to watch most shows by 1/3. If your football team is losing and you watch the game at the first fast forward speed, you can watch the game in an hour.
20: I'm not Jewish, and even I knew that was misspelled. Elie, look up Yiddish words before throwing them on the page.
