Over a year ago, a bunch of economists and grad students made this music video about what causes recessions: too-free businesses (Keynes) or central planning of the market (Hayek). It was brilliant, and displayed both sides very well in a fun way. Just yesterday they released Round Two, which is also great. I don't think Hayek made as many brutal points as he did in the first one, but the ending is completely accurate in its analogy to real life: Hayek's argument destroys Keynesian ...
Pop quiz! The barriers against the zombies is breeched, and your village is overrun. You manage to escape with your older brother, best friend, betrothed, your love, a random first grader, and your dog. After a few days, you find another town, but it has also been overrun by zombies. You and your love make it to a house, while the rest of your party gets up in a tree house. There is a platform on the roof that once had a rope bridge to the treehouses, but it has been cut and now hangs ...
In a pathetic, yet not entirely unexpected, last-ditch attempt to attack the legitimacy of a federal district court claiming that anti-gay marriage statutes are unconstitutional, the Prop 8 supporters are now asking a new district court (the previous judge, Judge Walker has retired) to set aside that decision because of a conflict of interest. What conflict of interest, you might ask? He's gay. Yes, he had no financial or personal interest. But Walker still should have ...
I do. :3 I have wanted to start one for a while. I enjoy writing stuff, and a blog seems to be a good way to get writing. I just have no idea what I'd even begin to blog about. I tried to start one a while back, but it entirely fell to the wayside due to lack of content and imagination to make some. Guess that's a problem, the lack of imagination. I want to do something that not only is interesting to me, but also interesting for others to read. I mean, I could ramble ...
What's going on in this blog?
Seriously. That's it. There's no more, and I need a nap. We'll have another census when the conversation around this one dies down. I figure that gives us two or three days to figure out the topic and questions for the next one. Census results.
Pray for me guys, I don't want to say anything else until I get some results back. Till then
Recently I've been keeping up with Lowering the Bar, a legal humor site. Just recently I noticed its Case Law Hall of Fame, and boy there are some nuggets in there. Even lay people can appreciate some of the biting humor here, so I figured I'd share some of the best quotes. Admittedly I was way too amused by some of these. First, there's Bradshaw v. Unity Marine, a case on whether to apply the statute of limitations for Texas or federal maritime law. It's only 4 pages long, so the ...

For those who haven't been to the Census Thread since yesterday, new results have been posted with the final results to come tomorrow morning if not later today. It's been a long, drawn out road punctuated by busy schedules, infectious disease and plenty of laziness but it's almost over. Tell your friends.
