Nationalized murder

Monday, March 21st, 2005

Our nation is in the process of becoming a nation of accomplices. After a series of sham trials, in which only one side of the evidence has been permitted by the courts, a woman who is clearly not brain dead, legally or by simple observation, is about to die a torturous death by judicial fiat.

Harvard doesn’t like me, much

Sunday, March 20th, 2005

Harvard Law rejected me, Saturday. It seems they don’t like me, much, but I think it’s actually kind of funny. I have enough Harvard rejection and waitlist letters to paper my office, now. In any case, now I’m just waiting on Yale to tell me how bad my GPA is, and I can go ahead [...]

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

Woo-HOO! I just got accepted to the University of Chicago Law School! I’m very happy about this one. In related news, I got rejected by Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, specifically by the Sociology Ph.D. program. This makes me 0-4-1 at Harvard (1 undergrad waitlist, 3 graduate rejections, and a pending law school [...]
