I want to give a big shout-out to my friend Molly. Molly and I were friends in college and I recently learned that she has found a job with the state of Wisconsin that is almost identical to mine. When you think about how specialized our field is, it’s kind of remarkable that we would end up doing the same kind of work. Life is strange, no?
I’m bored with slapping around Dennis Kucinich, so I’m going to make Ralph Nader my bitch for a while. I thought this story was telling: Nader couldn’t get 1,000 people at a caucus to get him on the ballot in Oregon. A measly 1,000. But he still gets 4-5% in the national polls, which mystifies the hell out of me. I like to think that most of these people expressing a preference for Nader are going to come back to reality once the chips are on the table.
I got a phone call yesterday from Gillette Hospital asking me to participate in a repeat performance of a continuing legal education class I did last year. It was something that sprang out of the Supreme Court case that concerned my law clerk experience. Have I written about that here? Tell me if I haven’t. Anyway, I guess the CLE brought in some significant donations to the hospital, thus the encore. I’m looking forward to doing it again. I still have a yearning to teach someday and this is the closest thing I can get for now.
