Weekend Recap
Friday night was dinner at Alero, complete with pitchers of margaritas and a lot of overloud and inappropriate dinner conversation (thanks, Jaisen). After dinner I went home to prepare for the first year moot court competition in the morning. That was the plan, but after the sleep deprivation on Thursday night, I just sacked out.…
Read MoreThank you for driving badly
Washington, D.C. drivers have an annoying habit of speeding up, then stopping. It’s like stop and go driving is their ideal mode of transportation. Owning a sports car has taught me to prefer the opposite, a smooth driving style of matching speed to traffic conditions to minimize stops and starts. As I commute every day,…
Read MoreOMG: No Weapons! Color me shocked.
Apparently after wasting lots of time and money on a wild goose chase, the White House has decided to end the search. About freaking time. But wait, there’s more.

Read MoreReal Life vs. The Internet
Johnny Law sent me a link to this hilarious educational video from Red Vs. Blue explaining the differences between real life and the Internet. Pardon me my friend, but I am Nigeerian royiltyn and I need you to send me money. Please ignore the fact that I don’t know how to spell Nigerian or royalty.…
Read MoreParking ticket…or is it?
Walking back to my car from the metro tonight, I saw a foreign piece of paper lodged beneath my windshield wiper. Great. Another $20-35 donation to the DC budget for violating some obscure parking regulation. When I got to my car, it turned out that the paper was not a dreaded ticket, but a business…
Read MoreTsunami = War on Terror Opportunity?
According to Colin Powell, American efforts to provide tsunami aid may help fight terror. “I hope that as a result of our efforts, as a result of our helicopter pilots being seen by the citizens of Indonesia helping them, that value system of ours will be reinforced,” Powell said. I suppose I’m hopelessly naive and…
