Or, one could admire me for making a very good living and still having so much free time.

We can't all be titans of the profession Hank. Men like you stand on the broad shoulders of others. And our utility has nothing to do with anything we do here -- so stop being so hard on yourself, it makes you bitter.

P.S. I am honored, Hank. Thank you.

    Hank: The bitch of LSAT training is that you learn reading comprehension is the last thing you should practice.
Is this what I've been missing since I switched to the FB? I've gotten fantastic new anti-aging creams, an occasional spanking by TM, great links to sexy boots and a new appreciation for Led Zeppellin. Couldn't we at least snazz this board up a bit? I miss my old haunts. *sniff*

It must be hard for you to make it through the work day.

Name partner or solo? I guess either your name is on the door either way.

Who knows who is right? There is a difference between fact and opinion.

P.S. Maybe I'm not very good at all, and they just don't let me argue the hard ones?

I don't like much about Huckabee's views on abortion and social liberties, and his tax history isn't great, but any guy who'd do an ad like that has to be a fun cat to have a few beers with.

Sean Penn - Into the Wild?

Love his scrappy looks and fuck-you attitude (he hates Bush but so do 3/4 of my friends), but would someone please explain to me how it's cool that Penn, an American enjoying life as one in San Fran (or somewhere near there) approves of, visits, gets chummy with whatever, someone just quoted as saying "God willing, with the fall of the dollar, the deviant U.S. imperialism will fall as soon as possible, too." (Chavez after a 2 hour meeting with Ahmadinejad - I guess that explains the "God Willing" stuff). Presumably Penn doesn't think only "U.S. imperialist parts of the country" will fall and the others will remain intact, so why is he running amok being interviewed and saying how swell Chavez is and how awesome the Argentinian Constitution is (which he claims to have read 3 times and hearts). I guess it's okay for Americans to support international leaders set on economically collapsing America. Or is it?

Easy explanation -- Penn is an idiot. Truly. The kind who thinks he is smart and well-informed.

As to "OK" - I don't particularly like it -- or folks like that -- but it really doesn't rise high enough on my list of concerns for me to care.
