Random Rants and Legal Humor...

Newsflash: CNN's headline this evening reveals sensational news!!! On his deathbed, Pope John Paul asked people to read him the Bible!!! Shocking! I am so glad CNN covered this groundbreaking story!!! The Bible...who would have thought.... I was figuring he'd ask for strippers or 12 year old boys or something.....

ummm... and on a side note, what is going on in this picture? Is he striking a pose, or what? The photographer was like, "Ok, John, I just want to catch a glimpse of the real you...just act natural.... "


This reminds me of the Law Review articles I had to read yesterday. One, by a law professor was entitled "Man and his 5000 year old relationship with the cannibus plant." Can I just say AWSOME???? One section dicussed the merits of weed as a treatment for anorexia.... I mean, that makes so much sense... being a pothead is way less dangerous than being anorexic... If CNN wanted to do something worthwhile they'd investigate that....

another article was entitled "aliens with guns" and was about letting illegal aliens serve in the military and own weapons. The article then went on to say how no federal court had ever even discussed this issue....and some concluded the author was an idiot. My theory is that this author also wrote the cannibus article. He was just sitting around one evening and the idea came to him...."aliens with guns, man....woah... that's heavy...."

another article about the clergy sex abuse litigation of the 80's stated: "they [church officials] failed to warn parishioners of his "tendency to rape children." Hmmm.... his tendency? Like, I have a tendency to get drunk and boottie dance? Don't be alarmed, ladies and genteman, it's only a tendency....
