3rd year-itis, dirty politicians and partisanship...

someone sent me a story about how 3rd year law students are insane slackers and don't do a damn thing, especially when compared to first and second year students. i found the story rather amusing to tell you the truth...for years i've been telling people that after the first month or two in law school you have learned everything you need to know to be an attorney...seems some folks agree. the percentages of students that actually did the work according to this article was ridiculously high though...a lot of those 50-90 percent lied...i'd say a handful of students are prepared daily...probably those few that actually buy the books.

i'll admit my third year was a joke...although my first two years weren't exactly studies in being a model student...come to think of it...i didn't do much after those first two months. although i did increase my tolerance for alcoholic beverages to ridiculous levels that third year...that should count for something. i mean, i learned a lot...like a 145 pound male can manage to consume approximately 15-20 drinks a night for months at a time...(with a few "lite" nights thrown in of course)...it will never change either, but schools need that money so 3 years it shall be...

the folks on capital hill are feeling the heat...big time lobbyists copping a plea and cooperating in investigations of bribery and corruption. the feds must have an insane amount of information from this guy...maybe that is why lawmakers got up in arms over the administration using wiretaps without seeking approval of the secret wiretap court...a bunch of them are going to be nailed by the stuff. good riddance you greedy fucks.

president bush is trying to rustle up support to renew the patriot act since it's lapse will inevitably mean the complete and utter destruction. he's gone to the old "partisan politics" tricks because "partisan politics have no place in matters of national security." i've changed my views on partisan politics...i'm all for it...i just wish there were more partisans to partake. maybe if some of the spineless "liberal" types in congress had utilized "partisan" politics instead of worrying too much about appearing weak for their upcoming presidential bids (which all fared oh so well anyhow) we could have avoided a lot of shit. although in a way maybe it is better this way...atleast the diminishing of american power is hastened this way...not that that is much comfort to the millions of people in this country watching their ability to make ends meet fade with each passing year as the big-shot bosses give themselves raises to run companies and pensions into the ground...or to the billions worldwide that are left behind by ignorant, selfish, greedy schmucks known as congressman and presidents and wto members and un administrators and the like...or the thousands of families missing a son, daughter, brother, sister, mother and/or father this holiday season after seeing them off in desert fatigues...

no one ever says a word about so much that happens in the world...
