* I guess calling affirmative action “politically correct discrimination” is the new politically correct way to say “I am somehow incapable of understanding the value of diversity.” [SCOTUSblog]
* It’s not work if you enjoy doing it. Also, it’s not work if you’re not getting paid. [TechnoLawyer]
* Every now and again, it helps if a lawyer is also a stand up guy. [What About Clients?]
* When being interviewed by a panel of people, you need to understand group dynamics. Interestingly, mastering this core competency also helps you plan an awesome party. The lesson, as always, people with social skills do better in life. [Law.com]

* You know, I had actually forgotten that today is the start of Black History Month. I don’t know, maybe I’m racist but there’s something about freezing my ass off all weekend that doesn’t scream “black people” to me. Why can’t we move it to June?
