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&#8217;s kind of remarkable that we would end up doing the same kind of work.  Life is strange, no?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m bored with slapping around Dennis Kucinich, so I&#8217;m going to make Ralph Nader my bitch for a while.  I thought <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/news\/oregonian\/index.ssf?\/base\/news\/1081252995257210.xml\">this story<\/a> was telling: Nader couldn&#8217;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.<br \/>\nI got a phone call yesterday from Gillette Hospital asking me to participate in a repeat performance of a continuing legal education class I did <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the19thfloor.net\/archives\/000096.html\">last year<\/a>.  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&#8217;t.  Anyway, I guess the CLE brought in some significant donations to the hospital, thus the encore.  I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to give a big shout-out to my friend Molly.
