A little bit of law school entertaniment for ya! Take this quiz to find out which incredible rule you are.

YOU ARE RULE 8(a)! You are Rule 8, the most laid back of all the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. While your forefather in the Federal Rules may have been a stickler for details and particularity, you have clearly rebelled by being pleasant and easy-going. Rule 8 only requires that a plaintiff provide a short and plain statement of a claim on which a court can grant relief. While there is much to be lauded in your approach, your good nature sometimes gets you in trouble, and you often have to rely on your good friend, Rule 56, to bail you out.

Just an interesting article. Its nice to see none of the women are coming out against the her. I wonder what Vijay would say.

Check out this new lens from Philps that focuses using the same optical science that your own eyeball uses.

Suited to a wide range of optical imaging applications, including such things as digital cameras, camera phones, endoscopes, home security systems and optical storage drives, Philips’ FluidFocus system mimics the action of the human eye using a fluid lens that alters its focal length by changing its shape. The new lens, which lends itself to high volume manufacturing, overcomes the fixed-focus disadvantages of many of today’s low-cost imaging systems.

I love science!

The headline is all about how a blogger released information about a private meeting with President Bush. The kicker for me is that Bush picked Rex Hammock to represent small business when he discussed how his tax cut helped small business. Rex is awfully supportive of Bush and bubbles over when he discusses how the tax break let him invest in hardware and software. Of course, in the mind of most of America Rex Hammock’s business, Hammock Publishing, doesn’t really count as a “small business” by a long shot. In 2002, according to Austin-local “business-intelligence” company Hoovers, Hammock Publishing turned $10,000,000 for it’s 30 employees.

Politicians love to dance around the details when they present something as truth, but calling Hammock Publishing a small business is a lie.

Take this test honestly and post your score.

FRONTLINE has reproduced this “Wright, Adams, and Bernat Homophobia Scale.” It is not a perfect measure of anti-gay feelings or ideas, and is not a predictor of potential for anti-gay violence.

Finally, a candidate I can fully support. Kinky Friedman is running for Governor of Texas.

For all of those wondering why the front man for the country music group ‘The Texas Jewboys’ wants to run the Lone Star State, Kinky will put down his cigar and say from under his 10-gallon hat: “Why the hell not?”
