I'll try to READ this time ltl. - It's good to see you are back to your usual bitchy self, I missed you and I worry when you are nice.

http://www.law.com/jsp/pa/pubarticle...=1063212043609

Here we have a young man who has been denied admission to the NJ Bar by the Supreme Court. (This would be by the Supreme Court of NJ in an opinion written by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in NJ, ok ltl?)


Quoting:

A three-lawyer committee said, "It was crystal clear . . . that Mr. Sanders believes himself to be absolutely morally justified in breaking the law." The panel said it viewed him as one who "detaches himself from responsibility to obey the law by endeavoring to distinguish the morality of the law from its legality."

...

Sanders, 29, admitted to traveling to Cuba three times through Mexico, Canada and the Bahamas; deceiving U.S. Customs officials about the visits on re-entry to the country; lying to customs agents about trying to smuggle Cuban cigars into the United States and blowing off a query by the U.S. Treasury Department seeking information about his first visit. That last move led to a $10,000 department fine for ignoring the query, a fine Sanders acknowledged he made no effort to pay.

....

But the smuggled cigars proved to be Sanders' undoing. The Committee on Character, the OAE brief and subsequent oral argument focused not so much on the trips and the cigars but on Sanders' lying about them. The committee said he offered no "good or political explanation" for trying to bring them back.




Insert Cigar joke here.

Three years ago, I thought Texans were only taking over the District, then I discovered it was the world (or at least the Middle East) and now cyberspace as well. I guess I better stop trying to hide and break out the cowboy boots...

In honor of pre-season hockey starting tonight (swoon) here is a cute little story of child abuse.

http://espn.go.com/moresports/news/2...rtnersite=espn

"A father who allegedly grabbed his 10-year-old daughter by the face mask and shook it at a youth hockey game has been charged with assault, police said Wednesday."

"Last year, Hockey Canada launched a public campaign called "Relax, It's Only a Game" that focused on educating parents who had trouble controlling their emotions at youth hockey games."


I wonder if he would have been in trouble if it had been his son instead of his daughter. Anyway, the world has become quite the fucked up place when you can't throw your kid around for missing a penalty shot ---

In an attemp to break up the Texas love-fest, I'd like to add commentary to the cover letter discussion...
don't you just want to feel sorry for a guy who, at the age of 25 has a negative net worth?
What was the point of that comment? I have had, and probably will have a negative net worth for the rest of my life. Sorry Thrasher, I don't think I'll ever pay off that mortgage - it's just not in me. And the student loans. Does he think he's the only person who ever went to law school and accumulated student loans? That job at the Gap must not have paid very well.

Wow, that sucks that your house is worth less than the mortgage on it. Too bad, so sad.

(That, or you aren't taking into account that a house is a tangible ASSET and ASSETS are taken into account in determining net worth. Particularly tangible assets.)

Maybe you could hook up with that guy.

Having just purchased the house a few months ago, the house is worth exactly what the mortgage is. However, that high 5 figure student loan and car lease has put me over the top.

But why the hell am I explaining this to you. You don't really care, you just wanted someone else to pick on since your hurricane slams have run out. Funny hurricane jokes, but still....

I feel really bitchy because the change in the atmospheric pressure is giving me a headache and a toothache and because Burger refuses to engage in a flame war with Fringey and I am frustrated, so forgive me for being a grammar timmy when I say how did your house just purchase your house a few months ago?

And also forgive me for being a personal finance timmy when I wag my virtual finger at you to say you should not lease a car when you have high five figure student loan debt and zero equity in your home.

On second thought, don't forgive me. Let's rumble. I am bored!

Forgive me for being a content timmy but "Burger refuses to engage" should be "Burger is incapable of engaging." But I'm in a meeting this afternoon so I couldn't help amuse you even if he were worthy.

Hell, good barbecue is worth a detour from my drive home from work in New England. Can't be too much longer than my regular rush-hour commute anyway.

Why am I doing this? Why?
OK, so I started the sentence with a dependent clause, but the I is understood - or at least should have been.

Second, I had a perfectly good car in law school, in fact it was 8 months old at the time this moron in a Volvo rear ended me. No, it wasn't a total, but let's just say the repairs were over half the value of the car. Car was never the same after that, so I leased another car while in law school since I couldn't pay for anything at the time - stupid Sallie Mae screwed me on my loan amount. long story - still mad at them.
Lease on that car runs out about the same time as student loan payments start to kick in. So I lease again because I don't want to be stuck driving a Honda Accord the rest of my life.
So what, I'm in lease hell. Whatever.
At least I have a car that runs, is under warranty and it looks gooooooood.

I think Timmy means you should buy something that you can afford rather than trying to lease something that would be beyond your means if you had to buy it and at the end of the lease you have nothing to show for it.

To be honest, I never understood car leasing -- blame it on my desire to own things but I just can't get comfortable with renting a car. Post 9/11, with the new car interest rates hovering around 0%, I don't know why anyone would lease rather than buy. I got a $40k car at 0.9%, will pay less than $1,000 interest over 4 years and have something of value at the end that I can drive for another 5+ years for "free" and still be able to make a few grand in resale or trade-in.

Fringey, this makes no sense whatsoever. If you're going to get into a flame war with the Robust One (Two?), you've got to do better. I think what you mean to say is that RP is to Fringey as Fringey is to Burger (come out an play, if you're woman enough!), but that means substituting RP for Fringey and Fringey for Burger. Feel free to run any new attempts at insult past me first, I don't want RP to have to waste her time with these.

Your phrase? I think not. (Or: bitch, please.) I heard this months (years?) before it emerged on this board. Orally, always with a significant pause captured best in text with the comma. In text, with a comma, to express the pause.

I am willing to acknowledge the notion that as the phrase made its way east from San Francisco, it has evolved, and that "bitch please" is a regional variant.

Keep the name too. I gift it to you much in the same loving manner as Leagl when she gave me my nice shiny new hockey avatar lo these many weeks ago. Go forth and be the best There's and That sock that you can. Besides, if I had a sock that might mean that I have to start wearing underwear which would certainly cramp my style on optional days.

Because that means driving the same damn car for 5+ years and some of us just can't do that. Once the leather smell goes away, it's time for a new one!!!
Actually, I did have a car, once, for 7 years and it wasn't worth shit on trade in - they never are. Once it's out of warranty, it's history.
