As most of you know and the rest are about to find out, I’m an attorney. I like to think of myself as a medical malpractice attorney, but the truth is that I do a lot more insurance defense law than I’d like to admit.
Today, I’m drafting a motion for summary judgment on one of [...]

BIBLE FAIL
I almost don’t want to post this link, lest someone, somewhere, take it seriously. But it’s such an overwhelming case of political misunderstanding, reading incomprehension, insular bigotry, and BIBLE FAIL that I can’t help but post it.
I take solace in the notion that it’s in the WorldNut Daily…and lose that solace immediately when I recall [...]

Stem Cell Research
Recent commenter Jessica left this YouTube video, produced by the University of Michigan Health System, on how stem cell research is regulated. I’m re-posting it here in the hopes that more readers catch it.

If you can’t think of a reason to vote yet, this ought to inspire you:
I realize there is no good reason to convert to Islam apart from a sincere and passionate love of God. (Why no, I don’t think a fear of hell is a good reason to do anything; [...]

Gen. Endorses Sen.
Short post, unfortunately, because my hands are killing me today. Ironically, I also learned today that my grandmother was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 28. Convenient!
Anyway, Gen. Colin Powell gave an eloquent interview on Meet the Press today in which he endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for President. Video is here. [...]

My roommate, trainer, running mate, and occasional co-blogger, Gracie:

Women for McCain
Katie Halper has done a wonderful spoof-ad covering the major points of McCain’s “women” policies:

McCain: OMFG WHAT.
Some of you may remember this not-all-that-clever-but-there-it-is bit from last night’s liveblog of the third Presidential go-round:
10:15: McCain: “Health” of the mother is a joke.
Naturally, this is not what Senator McCain said. In so many words, anyway. What McCain actually said was:
Just again, the example of the eloquence of Senator Obama. He’s health [...]
