Dear Carl, I thought what we had was special…
Carl? Judge Barbier? Is it me? Did I do something wrong? Did I not give you enough space, enough time with your law books or enough time with your friends? Did I not make you feel appreciated or understood? God, I thought what we had was special… Why it seems like only yesterday you sent…
Senator John Cornyn, still an asshole…
Remember last June, when the Macondo Well was still spewing oil, and Tony Hayward appeared at the congressional hearing where Rep.

Yeah, and…
A Message From Rousseau…
“Usurpers always choose troubled times to enact, in the atmosphere of general panic, laws which the public would never adopt when passions were cool.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, ever concerned about the needs of his constituents, spent yesterday attending to Louisianans in the grand ol’ state of Texas. He gave a speech. He hawked his book.

Jindal Aide Expresses Frustration at Recent Travel…Potential Presidential Run
An aide in the Jindal camp today expressed frustration with the governor’s recent travel schedule, “Look, we’ve been driving through four states in the past month. I didn’t sign on for this.

Sometimes you need a break… Pearl Jam – Do The Evolution The hidden subtext? Obviously… Dear God, I know it’s been awhile since I said hello. My bad, but things have been going pretty good so, thanks. I do have a request though and I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. So, here…
