This time of year, I’m prone to thinking of back home. Back home regular readers may know, is Nebraska. They(?) say you can never go home. Once again, I triumph over cliches by, in fact, returning to Omaha for a couple days to rock in the new year and celebrate Christmas with the family. Admittedly [...]

Now taking bets. In one corner: “The legislation in effect deputizes the bankruptcy courts as collection agents for the credit-card companies,” said Mark Sargent, dean of Villanova University’s law school, a bankruptcy expert, and critic of the bill. “The great irony of this is that it’s having your cake and eating it too.

I just got back from Sanjuro, and turned on the television to be greeted by Barbara Walters asking “Could heaven be a myth? …made up to give our lives meaning?” Should have stayed for the second half of the double feature. I now hear them playing Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven, followed immediately by Mariah [...]

More dispatches from the reality based community. The Gulfstream V has been identified as having been used by the CIA for “extraordinary renditions” – abducting terror suspects and taking them to secret prisons around the world where they may be tortured.

Being the paragon of calm, people often assume I am either dead inside, or possibly a robot.1 The truth is, I am able to part with potentially distressing emotions thanks to the suffering of others: Good work muni way to be 20 minutes late then take a break for 10 minutes right in front of [...]

Some people say tomato, while others say tomato. (I am yet undecided). Irregardless, I think we can all agree the intro to this article could only have been any better if Axl Rose were singing “Get In The Ring” in the background: Former Creed frontman Scott Stapp and members of 311 were involved in a [...]

Bush and Nixon have this, at least, in common: 2005 is the first year since 1971 that a president has nominated replacements for two Supreme Court vacancies. While I’ve never met Harriet Myers, I do have the distinction of having had cases before both Roberts and Alito this year. Roberts ended up recusing himself from [...]

Just saw that Jeff dredged up an Iowan to take over SoT next week. I’ve never read Creekside Review before, but on the strength of this, it’s already nestled nicely into my bloglines. * I would like to add that given the lawn mowing amputation references at Creekside Review, this may, indeed, be the most [...]

No doubt the blog’s name is intended for the errant google search. Absent evidence to the contrary, one would suppose that it works (does this perhaps explain our popularity in Romania?): I sell a kidney, my name is Eliaquim. I am man. I have 21 years old.
