Now Public Opinion: As I said before, Bush supporters will think Bush won and Kerry’s a flip-flopper, and Kerry’s fans will think Bush sucked and was an idiot.
Are there really undecideds out there? That’s the question. And if anyone was honestly wanting to base their vote just on the debate, then I think [...]

First my opinion: I thought Kerry was superb. The limited format which was supposed to benefit Bush, actually helped Kerry by keeping his tone very civil and just about “the facts.” I thought Bush looked rattled the entire time, annoyed, and he clearly didn’t want to be there. His responses (just [...]

As Bush clenches his jaw while listening to Kerry, he looks a little like Kermit the Frog.

I am pouring over case about how minimum contacts standards developed since the case of International Shoe developed and how these minimum contacts apply to quasi-in rem jurisdiction. (The fact is the USSC makes them stick at all is kind unique). This is not my point.
I get a phone call from a “Josh [...]

…the last player to score a hat-trick on his debut for Manchester United was Charlie Sagar, against Bristol City, in 1905.

After 96 days out with a broken foot, $45 million teenager Wayne Rooney made his debut for Machester United on Tuesday in a Champions League match in Manchester against Fenerbache, last year’s Turkish champions.
Usually, when a player is coming back from a long injury, they get a few minutes at the end of the game [...]

Finally the “Raising Arizona” of torts, I’ve read the false imprisonment cases with privileges and some negligence cases but this is absolutely the most intriguing domino effect I have seen:
A lady named Ramsdell rolled out from her last metered parking space. She saw that the Mass. Ave., (here in Boston), was clear. She pulled [...]

Al Gore may be the most pathetic politician alive. I’m sure Clinton thinks so. In today’s NYT he gives John Kerry ridiculous advice on how to debate George W. Bush.
This article (Reg. Req’d.) really shows what’s wrong with Gore, Kerry and the Democrats. There’s no room for nuance. There’s [...]

In these highly partisan times, it may be hard to find something the we Byrons (or members of any polictical faction, for that matter) can agree on 100%, but today’s entertainment news does indeed contain an item that should unify the entire country, which will hopefully rise up and denounce this heinous, diabolical plan:
“Melissa Etheridge [...]

Hitch on the out-of-control cynicism of the Democratic Left.
How can the Democrats possibly have gotten themselves into a position where they even suspect that a victory for the Zarqawi or Bin Laden forces would in some way be welcome to them? Or that the capture or killing of Bin Laden would not be something to [...]

This electoral tally has Kerry behind Bush, but not by as much as in the previous one I posted. The other one now has Pennsylvania going to Kerry.
Now if Kerry shows up to the debates with skin 10 shades darker than he was 2 weeks ago, he’s lost the debate already. It’s superficial [...]

From the Chicago Tribune:
It would never occur to us to require that Billy Graham condemn Eric Rudolph, the nominal Christian who allegedly bombed two abortion clinics, a gay nightclub and the Atlanta Olympics.
But the rules are different for minorities, whether religious, sexual or racial. Them we keep on probation, their acceptance conditioned on an unspoken [...]

I don’t have the casebook in front of me so I don’t have dates. But, our current property law is tied to ancient English property law. Before the conquest, the feudal system tied people to the land (whereas today property is a bundle of rights between parties). The lords would require mesne lords and [...]

We had a European friend over the other day, and I continue to be amazed by the ignorant stereotypes Europeans have about the USA. It’s just a myth that Europeans are more enlightened and worldly. In a recent survey, a majority of German high school students couldn’t identify Holland and Belgium on a [...]

I may have said this here already, but as PRN said, The Office is AMAZING. It is so accurate a depiction of the workplace (and workplace personalities) that I often had a hard time watching it because it hit too close to home.
If you have watched any of this show, don’t miss the second [...]

Anybody seen that BBC show called “The Office?” It’s hillarious. Laugh out loud funny, quite often. It’s the closest thing to Spinal Tap that I’ve seen.
On tonight’s episode, the completely stupid boss guy was supposed to do some imrpovisational play acting in a skit to make a point about customer service and as [...]

Withering review of the man, and the new movie based on his motorcycle diaries, at Slate.
I think this little point would make a rollicking greeting to the soul-patched hipster retards prone to wear Che T-shirts:

He founded Cuba’s “labor camp” system—the system that was eventually employed to incarcerate gays, dissidents, and AIDS victims.

In fact, much of [...]

This is case from the Property casebook and I am paraphrasing as I am trying to hit the highlights.
Van Valkenburgh v. Lutz.
In 1912, Mr. Lutz and his wife bought two empty wooded lots in suburban Yonkers. They built a house on these two lots. To the West of their lots laid a triangular [...]

Here’s the current electoral count. It shows Bush winning in key swing-states and winning overall.
Kerry needs to do very well in the debates this week.
Money quote from the RCP guy who did the survey:
Even though mistakes have been made and a good number of Americans are uneasy about the War in Iraq [...]

Good for this woman–risking her life to expose the inherint misogyny and antagonism toward democracy within the Koran and Islam. And in the ultra-liberal Netherlands no less. She’s saying what so many Dutch, Europeans, and Muslim women are afraid to say.
