Always check your sources, you guys, especially when it comes to the endless studies splashed across blogs, magazines, newspapers, and mentioned on the evening news. Check who sponsored the study, and then you’ll have the whole picture and can decide if you buy it or if you need a grain of salt … or a [...]

5 Reasons to LOVE Lemony Snicket
Posted in Better Read Than Dead, Op-eds on October 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The Series of Unfortunate Events series. Horseradish. The movie based on his SoUE was pretty awesome, at least partly because he reportedly had considerable creative input. His name is LEMONY SNICKET for crying out loud. This article right here. OCCUPY WRITERS by LEMONY SNICKET
This became especially poignant in light of #OccupyWallStreet

My review is kind of long, particularly the part where I chose to detail some of the problems faced by the missing class, but this book is definitely worth reading. It’s incredibly appropriate at this point in our country’s history, when cities across America are being occupied by those not interested in overturning capitalism, but [...]
Business Casual Superstar #457: Speak Out Against JCPenney and Forever21′s Effort to Profit Off the Perceived Intellectual Deficiency of Girls
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, Islam/Culture, Op-eds, tagged Pretty News on September 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
You’re probably heard by now of the stupid t-shirts being sold by stores like JCPenney and Forever21, like “I’m too pretty to do homework,” and “allergic to algebra.” As a girl who always did her homework on time and to the best of her ability (sometimes going embarrassingly overboard) and a girl whose love of [...]
Addendum: Another Reason for Low Muslim Membership in Unions
Posted in Legalese, Op-eds on September 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I did a post recently (very recently) that you can find right here about the low levels of American Muslim membership in labor unions. It’s a long one, and I trace several cultural causes and misconceptions and perspectives that might explain why American Muslims, particularly older ones, immigrants rather than the first-born generation, are leery [...]
Look For The Union Label: Low Levels of American Muslims in Labor Unions
Posted in Legalese, Op-eds on September 5, 2011 | 5 Comments »
I’ve wanted to be a labor attorney (defense/union side, the short, South Asian version of Regina Polk, except that I don’t think I look that hot in hats) ever since I studied labor law under Prof. Gerald Berendt, the chairman of Chicago’s NLRB for most of the seventies. He was my favorite professor during law [...]
Tracy Morgan’s Offensive Anti-LGBT Rant, and this Stupid Free Speech Argument
Posted in Legalese, Op-eds on June 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I’m a big fan of free speech. A big fan of the First Amendment, really. I’m kind of fond of the ol’ thing. Heck, I’m a Muslim that supports the right of my fellow Americans to burn Qurans. (Though I still think they’re d-cks for doing so.) As much as I hate the WBC, I [...]
Things That Have Been Bothering Me: On Wisconsin, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, etc.
Posted in Islam/Culture, Op-eds on February 25, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I wasn’t really going to post anything about the strife in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and the Middle East. I mean, everything I have opined on the matter is on my Twitter timeline. I’m actually at the top of my Twitter game when there’s a revolution going on. During the Egyptian revolution, an NPR editor or [...]
Good Job, Facebook.

I love this. :) I’m glad that Facebook added this option under “Relationship.” It makes me happy but also reminds me of just how much work there is left to do until marriage inequality is finally done away with. Alexis is one of my law school (Twitter) friends, and I really doubt she’ll mind that [...]
Oh, Shut the Hell Up, Gwyneth Paltrow
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, Op-eds, tagged Pretty News on February 18, 2011 | 7 Comments »
Obscenely rich women are, generally speaking, ridiculous. It’s like the more money you get, the bigger a waste of skin you become. Gwyneth Paltrow is showing us just how ridiculous she can be, when she tells us in her newest Goopy Goop Goop newsletter that we should buy our children designer clothes that are not [...]
