Today the Public Interest Law Foundation had their annual “Singing for Summer Salaries”. People donate money in a professor’s name, and the one with the most money at the end has to sing a song of their choosing. Last year Prof. Geyh sang “Lawyers, Guns, and Money”… this year Prof. Heidt sang I Say a [...]
Let’s just be brief about this, because re-living it is not something I’d want to do… at least today. The tournament was good. The Tournament Director was, it seemed, incompetent. Maybe it’s more fair to say tha the only really cared abuot the 16 teams in the power pools. Indiana-A was one of them. Indiana-B was [...]
I was under the assumption that intelligent people of all political stripes, less the race-baiters who normally advance these sorts of theories, have long realized that the notion of “reparations” for slavery are horribly flawed, almost wholly without merit, and not really worth floating as a serious suggestions. I guess I was mistaken: Flyers all [...]
I’m tired. Really, really tired. More on that in a later post. Right now, I’m amused by a request at Overheard in Law School for new permanent posters I’m looking for people from different schools than those represented already. For the number of you from Indiana who e-mail me, there’s got to be one of you who [...]
In a previous post I wondered “Are there issues on which lacking some major faculty like vision or hearing could be a serious detriment to the execution of sound public policy?” While I half expected a number of self-righteous (and idiotic) “It’s wrong to even think about such things” comments, I got none. I did get [...]
While I find it patently ridiculous that there would be any sort of statutory barrier to a police officer using any force necessary to stop a criminal, this post at RedState raises a different issue for me. The executive summary is that a state senator in New York has, for the third time, proposed legislation making [...]
Ok, not the whole internet… but a concept that encompasses basically every site on the web. A patent has been granted to a relatively unknown California Web-design firm for an invention its creator says covers the design and creation of most rich-media applications used over the Internet. The patent holder, Balthaser Online Inc., says it could [...]
Jane Galt wonders if the left is out of ideas… That gets batted around every so often, and it (understandably) enrages liberals. And yet, it seems to me that there’s a kernel of truth there. Not in the literal sense: liberals do not vote Green or Democrat just because they like the logos. But the left, [...]
Is it wrong that every time Rock You Like a Hurricane comes on my iTunes, I think how inappropriate it would have been if the bands of SEC teams had learned how to play it and done so when they played LSU? Because I do. Every time. Sometimes I also think about other things. Like the fact [...]
I was just informed by Jen that Tristan Prettyman is going to be in town this week at the Bluebird. Thursday night, 8:00pm. I’m going to be there. It’s going to be fun. If you don’t know who she is, you better ask somebody. Or, alternately, check out her myspace. You can hear tracks off of [...]
