Evidently, the author of the brief subscribes to the theory that, if you do what you enjoy, you'll never work a day in your life.

KillerMartinis: I'm in the middle of drafting a (defense) brief where the Plaintiff claims that my client was negligent because a tree in the their (1000 acre conservation land) woodland fell down.So I bow to you and this article, and John Oliver, and especially, the ACLU.

This might be my favorite thing I've ever read. Hire Jamie Lynn Crofts immediately, if not sooner!

I'm taking this in turns because there's a lot here to laugh at. I don't want to get so enamoured with Jamie that I miss the kid with Lumpy the Lump of Coal, and Oliver's riff on Lumpy. Coffee-choking stuff.

Good think you aren't in charge. HRC would have found someone with the will and IMAGINATION to possibly develop alternative energy strategies, mitigation of the environmental damage the coal mines did, do medical research (lots of people to test respiratory illness cures on), EDUCATION USING FACTS, research on medicinal plants, they probably have phone lines so internet commerce, even call centers could be possible.

Just sitting on your ass whining is not helpful.

Yeah, sure she would've. /sAnd none of those things would've helped provide jobs or benefits for the people in those towns during her first or even second terms. Not that Trump will do anything either, of course, but for people in those kinds of situations, voting Trump was a good way of telling both parties to go fuck themselves. Not that either of them are smart enough to figure that out.

Just one of many examples of a very reasonable Clinton policy that everyone ignored in favor of yelling about Benghazi and private email servers. As a country, we have no excuse for not electing her.

The woman is brilliant. That's one hell of a legal strategy and should go down in the annals of historical legal briefs as one of the best ever written. Eat shit Bob.
