I posted on 7/22 that Greenpeace had supposedly produced an ad depicting a homosexual encounter between President Bush and Prime Minister Blair. At the time, I questioned it’s legitimacy – even for Greenpeace, it seemed like this might be beyond the pale.
It wasn’t and it’s real. It’s on the Greenpeace UK website.
Again, thanks to Michelle [...]

Want a free iPod? I do! At the advice of my friend Phil, I joined up at freeipods.com. The deal is pretty simple – you take advantage of an offer by a reputable, established company (many of which cost under $5) and get 5 people to do the same. The company doing the giveaway (Gratis [...]

Last night, I played some Hold ‘Em, and went all-in with top pair (kings), holding AK offsuit. The problem was that two other players had AK offsuit, as well! One of them caught a K-high flush on the river, and the other caught the A-high flush on the river. Ouch. Of course, the pot was [...]

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tennessee), M.D., today announced that he supports a bill currently before the Senate, which would allow federal funds to be used in the destruction of embryos in order to extract stem cells.

Whether or not one agrees with that proposal, the fact is that the school system gets its facts wrong and makes theological arguments – [...]

Seamus Farrow, only son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, is heading to Yale Law, at age 16. It sounds like he’s had a very interesting life, for somebody of that age, but I can’t say that it makes sense for a 16-year old to go to law school, or for any law school to [...]

… and advises students to sell their souls. Okay, not really, that’s what the article says a lot of students would do, but the student in question, Jesse Townsend, does advise aspiring law students to pick a major based on the GPA they would expect to earn.
Congratulations to Jesse, by the way, but his advice [...]

For those who don’t know, Brian Leiter is a University of Texas law and philosophy professor. His information on law school rankings and the academic job market may be great, but his political theory is horrible. In his latest post, John Howard the Ostrich, he tries to argue that foreign policy – of any nation [...]
