A ringing endorsement of Rick Perry from Kinky Friedman, with as many laughs per square inch as any endorsement I have ever seen (emphasis mine): I have been quoted as saying that when I die, I am to be cremated, and the ashes are to be thrown in...
Wisconsin Justice Ann Walsh Bradley accused Justice David Prosser of using an illegal "chokehold" on her. At the time, I pointed out that if the charge was not sustained, and Bradley falsely had accused Prosser of using a potentially life threatening "chokehold," Bradley needed to step...
Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple, likely for good. What a lesson Apple holds. I've never bought an Apple computer or "device" (although I did get an iPod as a gift), but I'll never forget my amazement in law school in the early 1980s...
