[Update at the end] Can’t believe I forgot to link to this earlier, but in my defense, I was crazed trying to get an appellate brief done. So Dennis Janson, one of my Twitter friends, definitely got shot Sunday night. And like any true law student, he was worried about missing CivPro the next morning. [...]

A word from fellow law student @LyleLanley: If you have facts on your side, pound facts. If you have law on your side, pound law. If you have neither on your side, pound table. … If you can’t innovate, litigate. If you can’t litigate, legislate. If you can’t legislate, Watergate. If you can’t Watergate, waterboard. [...]

Posted in Islam/Culture, Op-eds on April 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I bet your eyes were riveted to the screen with actual rivets, yet. Hah. My cartoon is so lame. Sheep = cute, though. [...]
SERIOUS Amazon Fail!

This is absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely freaking ridiculous. More ridiculous than when the teachers at my old private Islamic school went around collecting copies of Their Eyes Were Watching God from 8th grade English classes because of the sexual content in the beginning. (Of course, after our books were taken, most of us went to the [...]
Abraham Lincoln, Esq.
Posted in Legalese on April 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
