I certainly can't. I no longer even look at CNN for fear I might consider posting a link to something. Thank god The Daily Show has stepped in to fill the news void in my life.

I enjoyed the Ari Fleischer interview last night. "I could talk to you for hours and it seems clear that you could dodge my questions for hours too." Or something like that.

I'm not saying that they did. But the people who are pissed that first years are making $125k* are still thinking of 1995 dollars when they think about how much they are paying first years. They're (conveniently) forgetting that the billing rates have probably gone up more than 50% at most firms during that period, that average hours are probably 10-20% higher, that the cost of living has gone up a shitload in the cities where people are making that kind of money and that the practice of law is different with blackberries, e-mails, pdfs, etc.

* I still run into people like that from time to time, sometimes at my firm, especially older partners. Let the market pay people what they're worth. If you're too chicken-shit and arrogant to cut salaries back after having to increase them to get young associates because you're scared of the market's likely reaction, that's your problem. Give me a fucking break. You've been making more than $200k since the 80s and more than $500k since the 90s, and you're pissed that some poor fucker with $200k in school debt and no equity in a market where it takes more or much more than a third of a mil to get a decent place is making a measly $125k? Greedy bastards.

There's also the "smoking causes impotence" graphic too. I'd tell you to send pics of those as well, but you'll probably want to wait for the next TMBD.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.

Mushrooms have actually made me smarter. I can't explain this, but having eaten them frequently since age 18, I have noticed that every time I take them, I learn something. You pick little nuances about the way people behave and the way life operates around you which give you a better outlook on the world. You're not as stressed.

That's why the govt doesn't want you to take psychedelics. They tear apart the stage that's our reality. It's hard to take the gaping asshole yalping about a case seriously when you consider his utter lack of significance in the larger scheme of things.
Why would sunny need to be smarter?

You're right - I'm bored already.
did I ever tell you about the time I talked to christmas ornaments for 5 hours because I ate too many shrooms?

Yes, yes, I did.

I'm way bored.

I'm probably the only one (other than Atticus, but he doesn't really count b/c his interest in Ms. Possible seems altogether unhealthy), but I sorta miss the Kim Possible avatar.

May I just take a moment to tell you that you are truly inspired? I want to go eat more mushrooms so that I can be just like you. And I am being absolutely sincere when I tell you this.

That is what cured my ass of the cigarettes. That cured the "I lack willpower" excuse right away.

They also forget that billable expectations have increased since then by at least 10% at many firms.

The judge I clerked for, who happened to work at teh same firm I subsequently did, albeit decades earlier, told me the billable expectation when he was there was 1400 hours per year.
