You were my first, how could I not love you? With your sleek, swooping curves, sunroof, leather interior, sunroof, and, most importantly, your promise of freedom. Even your name was sexy, the “Integra.” You were the ability to just get away- drive anywhere, anytime. If the stress ever got to be too much, you would carry [...]

UPDATE: FIXED BROKEN LINKS
Personally, I don’t care much about where we fall in the USN law school rankings. I am happy with my education thus far (except for tuition) and I have no reason to wait with anxiety for the 2008 rankings.
But, I know a lot of our fellow GW Law’ers DO care about [...]
Happy Independence Day!

Well, at least if you are Greek (like good ole’ H. Fish is). Today marks the 187th anniversary of Greece’s declared independence from the Ottoman Turks.

Yesterday, the teeny Himalayan country Bhutan [the red speck on the map at left] voted in its first parliamentary elections: after 100 years of absolute monarchy, the country is transitioning to a constitutional monarchy with the king as the head of state and a parliamentary government. Some Bhutanese voters didn’t quite like the idea: one said, [...]

Happy Easter to all the loyal readers who are celebrating today. Here are some articles and new stories worth your attention today.

If you had to guess, who would you think said this about Rev. White, Sen. Obama’s now-famous pastor?
One other thing I think we’ve got to remember: As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say, “That’s a terrible statement,” I grew up in a very segregated South, [...]
Urban Camping: Supreme Court Sleepover for DC v. Heller

So the Supreme Court heard the DC v. Heller arguments yesterday and I was lucky enough to be able to be there in person for the hearing. I’m not going to go into summarizing the arguments made by the parties and how the Justices seemed to be leaning aside from saying that: 1) I don’t [...]
