Model Rule of Unprofessional Conduct 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In MOsanthrope's blog post titled "How to Destroy Your Legal Career with One Simple Click", he links to an e-mail exchange that, to me, is essentially equivalent to flushing your law degree down the toilet.Unlike Ms. Abdala, I have come to the conclusion that the pay --or lack thereof -- associated with part-time blogging does not support the lifestyle I am accustomed to living. Accordingly, I have decided to remain gainfully employed. Read more:Conduct

People overreacting 1970-01-01 00:59:59 With all the talk about the Vanity Fair cover, you'd think it was the first time people posed nude on a magazine cover.Umm, not exactly. This shocked people too.
If you're happy and you're liberal . . . 1970-01-01 00:59:59 . . . you're in the minority. George Will opines on a survey purporting to show that conservatives are happier than liberals.Draw your own conclusions -- but if this were true, it would confirm my suspicions.
Battle of the sexes in e-mail form 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I got this e-mail today from Stephanie:The Husband StoresA store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are Read more:Battle

Thoughts about Scooter Libby 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Could the charges against Scooter Libby
be unconstitutional? He's now claiming that the special prosecutor's investigation lacked the proper authority. How convenient.Among the many possible implications, two jump out at me:1. By taking action without first figuring out the necessary prerequisites or the eventual consequences, the administration messed up. Big time.or2. The administration, knowing that something might be uncovered in the course of the investigation, failed to go through the proper channels to get a special prosecutor appointed knowing full well that it might result in the dismissal of any eventual charges.

Wednesday night TV 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In addition to Project Runway, my Wednesday
night generally includes Lost, which has to be the coolest show on TV. A while ago, MSNBC ran an interesting article profiling the various castaways.Apparently, there are some interesting websites out there including this one for Oceanic Air.And, for any internet quiz takers, I have found not one, not two, but three "Which Lost Character are you" quizzes.

It's swag season 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It's Oscar week on the blah blah blog. Take the poll, and while you're at it, read all about the free stuff celebrities get at events such as the Oscars.$50,000 bucks worth of swag? Sounds like a deal to me.

This is why I'm not a vegetarian 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Recently, in front of the soon-to-be-renamed MCI Center, I was accosted by animal rights activists. They gave me this sticker: PETA is wrong. While I generally support not being cruel to animals, I just don't buy the no milk, no eggs, no meat thing. And today, Discovery proved my point -- historically, it's always been eat or be eaten.
Cost-Benefit analysis 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I know I should be sleeping, but staying up late to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live in order to see Gnarls Barkley play their cover of the Violent Femmes' classic Gone Daddy Gone was completely worth it.I'm sure I'll pay for it tomorrow when I'm tired and grumpy all day.
More Bono 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Chile isn't the only South American country honoring Bono this week. This time, it's Argentina.
Speaking of bad taste . . . 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today the Post attempted to rank nutrition bars. And since the best of the bunch were desribed as "needs a chaser," "goes down easy,"and "wouldn't weigh you down," I'm convinced that they all must really stink. Read more:Speaking

Thursday TV 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I just finished watching The Office. When it first started, I didn't really like it, but it has definitely gotten better and better. And it fights right in with My Name is Earl. Too bad Scrubs isn't on Thursday
, too.The best thing about it is how real it is-- other than the characters of Michael and Dwight. But then again, Dwight's Blog is hysterical.
