(Alternate title: The Return of Mumbles) I'm taking another shot at videoblogging. This is just a random story about some legal stuff on the web. (This was supposed to go up yesterday morning, but I had technical difficulties.) Here are some of the links mentioned: Gary's review of Dollhouse. Joel's story about his daughter. Million-dollar legal advice. Just Cause Law … [Read more...] about Videoblog: Looking for Lawyers in All the Wrong Places
Fourth Amendment Crazy Talk…Not
I just caught a video of a crazy Fox News guy ranting about the government. The sad thing is that he's Judge Andrew Napolitano, and we need more crazy judges like him.

Although … [Read more...] about Scattershot 2009-04-20
Texas Secessionism
(I'm not sure "secessionism" is really a word.) God, I hate partisan ranting. I've been listening to a lot of MSNBC lately, and the very liberal commentators are going nuts over Texas Governor Rick Perry's talk of secession: Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should … [Read more...] about Texas Secessionism
