So I’ve read a bit about this whole “Jena 6” thing, and I’m a little perplexed. Why are we supposed to be outraged that six people who beat someone else unconscious are being prosecuted? I generally think Jason Whitlock is a blithering idiot, but he was pretty spot-on with the Don Imus situation over the summer, [...]
…to taking Wills & Trusts. A new study highlighted on the Freakonomics blog says that there’s no correlation between taking “bar courses” and bar passage rates: Their results were unequivocal: no relationship existed between law school courseloads and the passage rate of students ranked in the first, second or fourth quarters of their law [...]
I’m spending the weekend in Tuscaloosa with Chris, Lee, and Kirk… I have tickets courtesy of my favorite Georgia fan and at some point I’m going to find a place to stay. Clearly the most important part (the tickets) has been taken care of. The bourbon’s in the cooler, the camera’s charging, and I’ve got some [...]
I just… I’m at a complete loss: Probate Judge Richard Hampe said the mummified baby known as “Baby John” passed down for generations through Charles Peavey’s family must be buried because there is no DNA evidence proving kinship. There’s a picture. I… I’m speechless. (Thanks, I think, to TSCGirl for the link)
For a while I thought that maybe Blingo had broken up with me. After a steamy string of near-monthly wins, it stopped. I won again in June, but the other day I realized that it had been awhile. Blingo must have noticed, too… since today… Thanks, Blingo… glad to see you still care. For those scoring at [...]
This morning I went out to run some errands before the game and saw something very exciting: They’re opening a McAllister’s! Right here in Yankeeland! I’m a happy Pete. Happy days are here again! The only question I have: when does it open?
Everyone realizes that there’s something of an early-adopter tax. Buying gadgets the day they come out costs a whole lot more than waiting. Look at the Razr. That thing was super expensive when it first came out, now it might as well grow on trees. Everyone has one. Typically this happens on the time frame of [...]
Dear Pete, I have an old friend back home. Whenever I go back (a few times a year), she is always very eager to get together. She has a young son and doesn’t get to hang out with people her own age very much. I like to see [...]
Yesterday Doug (et al.) threw the biggest and best tailgate I’ve seen north of the Mason-Dixon line. There were lots of people there and everyone seemed to have a good time. I probably drank too much bourbon (if such a thing is possible) and, though I don’t know why, my legs are sore. Hell, even [...]
