Biurny Peguero Gonzalez: Rape "victim" comes forward and admits lie, could face 7 years
On the advice of her priest, my ass. New Jersey resident Biurny Peguero said she was visciously gang-raped by three men in a van after a night of drinking in upper Manhattan. Her testimony sent William McCaffery to jail despite a lack of DNA evidence linking him to the crime. Now, on the advice of her priest, Peguero has admitted
The Janitor has to be lying (or we have to revoke the janitor's Man Card)
A Brooklyn high school is all abuzz after its Spanish teacher and French teacher, Cindy Mauro and Alini Brito, were allegedly caught naked together in a classroom by the school’s janitor, who turned them in. They are now suspended from their teaching duties. (source). Get this… they’re both totally hot. Now lets walk through the story…. let’s say you’re the
USA Technologies gets bitch slapped by EFF
USA Technologies, based in Malvern, Pennsylvania ought to see its stock price drop a little more once the world gets wind of what kind of morons run the company. A couple of message board posters commented about the company’s plummeting stock prices and the over-compensated executives at the consistently unprofitable company. So, USA Technologies’ crack team sprang into action, fixing
Take it From Me: Elites Just Don't Understand
Marc likes to post about the worthlessness of legal education yet never outright addresses the underlying reason it is worthless. The reason is simple: Legal academia is run by and large by the elite. And the elite (for the most part) are completely worthless as lawyers. Here’s why: Elites are beholden to hierarchical power structures For a profession that is
Even Gold Paint Guy has publicity rights
Patrick Tribett is the poster boy for pwnage. Tribett had a pretty bad addiction to huffing spray paint to get high (never tried it, but that does not sound like fun). He was such a mess that he walked in to a Bellaire, Ohio general store looking for another round. The owner called the cops, who came to the scene.
Avvo recognizes awesomeness
Well, its been a hell of a good year… it seems that our friends at Avvo think awfully highly of the Legal Satyricon. We’re one of their 10 favorite legal blogs. I don’t want to spoil the fun by telling you the other 9 (you can go read them yourself), but I will say that I’m honored to be on
Newdow … again
Sometimes, even I wish that Michael Newdow would give it a rest. He was dead right in his Pledge of Allegiance case. He’s just going nutty with this one.
Hockey in Fenway Park
Interesting. If there is one thing that I learned growing up in New England, it is that you can never count on the weather. Well, that and you can never count on anything going right at Fenway.
Extreme Makeover – Nazi Edition
Flori-duh, the place where due process goes to die, is paying for John Allen Ditullio’s makeup artist so that the jury doesn’t think ill of the boy. On March 23, 2006, Pasco authorities say, he put on a gas mask and broke into a neighbor’s home, where he stabbed a woman in the face and neck, then attacked a teenager.
Turnabout is fair play
The recording industry may be getting a taste of its own medicine. This is a Canadian case, but interesting nonetheless. H/T Evren Seven.
American legal education – scientifically proven to be worthless, law professors jam heads up asses in response
I have written previously on the Worthlessness of American Legal Education. That ruffled a few feathers among legal academics who didn’t like being called a “circle jerk.” In response to that critique, legal academics decided to disband the circle jerk and actually focus on practical training of lawyers in both business, law, and ethics. HAAAA…. had you going, didn’t I?
USPTO Jumps in Line to Provide "Green" Initiatives, Ignores Climate Gate
by Jason Fischer “Awe! Come ON! I made a movie about it. That proves it’s true.” Director Kappos, of the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), writes on his blog this week about how the Office intends to fast-track the examination of patent applications that deal with so-called “green” technologies. Great headline for a month ago, when the popularized
Healthcare reform legislation to include government subsidies for voodoo, zombie repellent, and werewolf patrols
Okay, not really… but this is just as preposterous. The “Christian Science” church teaches that we should forget about all that silly medicine stuff. Asking our imaginary buddy, Jesus, to heal us is all the medicine we need. There was a time when Christian Science paraded its children off to the graveyard, rather than admit that dancing around a fire,
N.C. Constitution Bars Atheists from Public Office – group of redneck morons thinks that the ban is valid.
Cecil Bothwell is a city councillor in Asheville, North Carolina. That in itself is not remarkable, but Bothwell ran as an openly-atheist candidate.. Well, ol “Ain’t no gawd Cecil” dun tickery won the dag gum election. It seems that now, his opponents are seeking to have him stopped from taking office, because he doesn’t believe in an imaginary magic space
Bitter Lawyer Profiles Randazza
Bitter Lawyer has been one of my favorite legal humor sites for some time. Thus, imagine my joy when they emailed me asking to do a profile on me. Well, it came out today. Here it is. Enjoy.
Marc Randazza: His Profane, Pornographic, Anti-Glenn Beck World
There’s probably no other lawyer like Marc Randazza. He’s irreverent, outspoken, foul-mouthed, endlessly entertaining and on a hot streak. When he’s not defending the First Amendment rights of porn studios and bloggers, he might be on the beach, cooking up a tasty stingray … Read more …

Man "finishes" World of Warcraft
What’s with the “hugging”? ‘Little Gray” beat the game after killing 390,895 creatures, administering 7,255,538,878 points of damage, completing 5,906 quests (averaging 14 quests a day), raiding 405 dungeons and hugging 11 players. I believe we can safely add another statistic to the numbers — he has had sex 0 times during this period. (source)
The Bread Hunter
Totally off topic… but totally awesome. The Bread Hunter. The author’s book is here. I want it. When I lived in Sicily, my friends had an outdoor stone oven. Talk about bread from heaven.
