Non-Sequiturs: 10.17.11

* Cornel West has been released from prison. He was arrested earlier while protesting the Supreme Court’s pro-business record. I’m not sure if I even get to call myself a progressive black man without getting arrested for something. Any suggestions on what I should civilly disobey? [The Root]

* Immigrant parents want their kids to be lawyers instead of accountants. Yes, part of being a first generation American involves telling mommy and daddy they have no clue about what they’re talking about. [Going Concern]

* I didn’t even know we had a “stolen valor” act. Even more shocking: this law has nothing to do with the Swift Boat people and what they did to John Kerry. [Legal Blog Watch]

* When technology makes judicial opinions obsolete. [Law & Technology / Forbes]

* Growing too quickly retards profits per partner. [The Economist]

* A settlement between Frank and Jamie McCourt could set up a showdown between Frank and Bud Selig. I think Dodger fans and Met fans should form some kind of support group. [L.A. Times]

* Argue like Yoda, we once did. [Village Voice]
