Suddenly I was given an elaborate serving glass and set up. Mmm good. Then I got the bill.

Moral: do not order Pappy w/o knowing the price.

Look at it this way, that glass of bourbon probably cost the same as, what, an hour of your time?

I suspect it was worth it.

1. The spelling of Lil Jon’s name
2. They’ll never overturn Roe
3. No horns in rock - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To7q0cn0Fk4&t=11s
4. A president inciting a violent mob to storm the Capitol in order to prevent the certification of a fair election, and to hang those perceived as traitors, including his own vice president, was not a “threat to democracy”
5. That goldfish only have three second memories
6. That the cascading arpeggios of Coldplay’s Clocks somehow redeemed the song and made it transcend the banality of the Coldplay oeuvre
7. That P.J. O’Rourke was the next Hunter S. Thompson
8. The spelling of Hunter S. Thompson’s lawyer’s name

Remember the good old days when Sebby ranted about lawyers wearing plain white dress shirts with suits?

One of my favorite lines ever in a music review: "Personally, I assume this song, like every Coldplay song ever recorded, is about selecting and purchasing patio furniture."


A friend of mine when I passed the review along: "It was all yellow..."
Story checks out.

I've been in one court room since covid. Everything else has been over the phone or Zoom. I'm guessing billable hours have to be down for litigators because of this?

They are as shitty as they were before. Glad I got all those custom suits when I visited Bangkok in 2019.

Pretty sure this Court doesn't need to accept a case. They can just issue a ruling sue sponte.

Billable hours will be the same, but my clients (insurance companies) got a windfall in not have to pay for travel to every bullshit status conference and Custodian of Records deposition.

Did you see this in Justice Kagan's majority decision in an otherwise boring Supreme Court decision (Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. v. Hewitt) last Wednesday?

Ha!
