First DUCK!!!
The assault on racist verbs continues.
Blurb #1 contains two sentences, neither of which contains a verb.
Bravo.
RACIST VERBS SECURE

Tom Daschle in going to DLA. As a partner, not for tax advice. [USA Today]
you speaka da english?
When's Elie going back to Africa?
Somebody transferred from Hofstra to NYLS? srsly?
agree with 8... wtf
Why no cali love?
Elis,
"ParAmalat"???? Really? PROOFREAD!
Can you find the other glaring errors in your post?
Tom Daschle is not a lawyer and therefore cannot be a partner at DLA Piper (or any other law firm). He will be a Senior Policy Advisor (lobbyist).
It is racist to expect affirmative action beneficiaries to write in proper English. Give them a break. After all, people who look like them were enslaved by other people who look like them in Africa a mere 150 years ago.

"in going to DLA" It's supposed to be "is going". When are they going to fire Elie? Soon please...
Of course Dick Armey isn't good enough for DLA.
Haynes & Boone just cut salaries to 145, a week before new first years start, via form email. Classless.
Whoa, the real story in these stories is that someone was dumb enough to transfer from Hofstra to NY Law School. Everyone knows Hofstra is way better.
Dr. Enrico Bondi Check you email.
Hey, Elie, maybe you should join that running group. You know, because you, um, how do I say it? Ahhhhh...
MORBIDLY OBESE
gotta maintain that critical racial and cultural diversity that allows Capital to divide and conquer the populace.
Otherwise, with a united labor front, Capital will have to pay more for Labor. And that is regular tragedy.
12 - Tom is not a lawyer and cannot be a partner at DLA. True - other criteria required to be a partner at DLA:
* demand more money than you've ever dreamed of earning
*promise Frank B lots of clients, bring none over
* as soon as you join the firm, tell all the other partners they are idiots
* threaten to leave on a daily basis and warn you will take other idiots with you
* skip and hop over all the associates and staff who are losing their jobs or are getting salary cuts
Toronto, Canada established an all-Black school with an "Afrocentric" curriculum (whatever that means) in light of the generally poor educational performance by blacks in its metropolitan public education system.
I suppose, though, the next best thing would literally to send them back to Africa.
The only place I'm running to tomorrow is Professor Thom's to see Michigan finally take down Ohio State. It's been too long, but this year the Buckeyes are getting waxed. And I'll be keeping an eye on The Game too.
And yes, the seal the ATL office Friday night and oxygen is slowly replace by CO2, so I could be getting a bit loopy. Oh look, it's Bo Schembechler. Hello coach, I'm glad you'll be on the sidelines tomorrow.

Kevin Brown is the last person who'd ever shove a Bible in anybody's face. Suggesting that's in the mix is a complete Glenn Beck maneuver.
Ain't no Jack Wilkins on the Baker Botts web site. Was it a pseudonym or has he been fired?
I'll just come right out and say it:
Fuck you Mystal - you affirmative action good for nothing piece of shit.
Never write on this blog again until you retake a basic english and grammar course.
"the seal the ATL office"???
It's pretty amazing that the DLA has now added Mel Martinez and Tom Daschle in the course of one month. Daschle made in excess of $2 million at Alston Bird and one can only imagine he'll make more at DLA Piper. Martinez is probably making at least $1 million.
I can't imagine that the staff and associates at DLA are too happy, considering all of the layoffs and salary cuts. Does anyone really think these guys are going to bring in enough business to justify their enormous salaries?
Anyone at DLA know?

Your primary complaint about the Ghana program is that Ghana kid's can't attend?
I CAN'T TAKE TH E PRESSURE
I am 100% in favor of shipping all darkies back to Africa. Once there, they will learn the true meaning of "what the fuck?" In America, they bitch about racism. In Africa, they get eaten for dinner.
PASS
fuck
light headed
So what if I screw up the first blurb in my post - twice - and then screw up my comment explaining my screwed-up post?
Yeah, I said it - "the seal the ATL office." What do you want from me? Racist competence-seekers.
You're just a bunch of cowards hiding behind anonymous online message boards. Question my competence to my face! Although you have no idea where I live or how to meet me, I dare you to question my competence to my face, bitches.
THE SEAL THE ATL OFFICE SECURE
Looks like some of Cahill's incoming associates started before the scheduled jan. 19 start date

There is a rumor about layoffs at Cahill - can anyone please confirm?

It's like you ran this comment through an Engrish->Retard translator.
