Changing of the Guards … More of the Same


h1 Posted 1 year, 11 months ago around lunchtime by abogado

My view is that we had so many inspectors in there and enough forces in the region to back up the inspectors that we sort of had Saddam pinned down, in terms of his ability to do something fairly far-reaching with weapons of mass destruction.
How many times have we heard that before? Democrats justifying [...]

Market Efficiency and the Gas Tax


h1 Posted 2 years, 5 months ago in the early morning by abogado

Gas prices seem to be a big issue in the USofA these days. Of course, gas prices in Europe and elsewhere have been far higher than in the US for decades — and they only get a litre! In spite of this, many pundits are speculating that the price we pay for gas will be [...]

Getting older by the minute, and younger by the year


h1 Posted 2 years, 8 months ago in the early afternoon by abogado

February already? I’m with Oso on this time thing. It’s just moving too fast. He keeps talking about petitioning the Universe for more of it, but I don’t think that’s ever really going to happen. Maybe I should be proactive and get something going on PetitionOnline.com. I’ve been getting my calendar together in the attempt [...]

‘Cause Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off


h1 Posted 2 years, 10 months ago around lunchtime by abogado

Look it up. These are lyrics to a country song. The coffee shop that I frequent in Dupont is blaring non-stop country on satellite radio. I’m not one of those “anything but country” people. I am not opposed to bluegrass or Johnny Cash and I’ve probably been seen inadvertently toe-tapping to an occasional Garth Brooks [...]

Letter to a OL — Random, Useless Advice for Incoming Law Students


h1 Posted 3 years, 2 months ago at around evening time by abogado

This time last year I was settling back in to American life after four months of traveling in South Asia. For the two months of life-limbo between post-collegiate-global-exploration and cross-coastal-pre-grad school-legal-orientation, I had no job, no permanent home, and really not a care in the world. Unfortunately, I nearly squandered this incredibly rare situation of [...]

My Department?


h1 Posted 3 years, 2 months ago in the wee hours by abogado

I suppose this is my department. Having spent the last year in law school you would think I would know a thing or two about the law, and consequently would have some opinion about the nomination of John Roberts to the SCOTUS. The truth is I know very little about the law, and have no [...]

Revenge of the Abogado


h1 Posted 3 years, 4 months ago mid-afternoon by abogado

Oh how I have missed you all! I can tell by the flowers and cards that you have missed me as well – please just keep in mind I live in a very small studio and I am running out of room for all the stuffed animals and chocolates. Cash, on the other hand, folds [...]

Duck, Duck…Goose?

Thanks to Sammy for sending me one of the greatest stories I’ve read in a long time.
