I do not think much of Julien Blanc. That much has made its rounds on the internets due to a letter I wrote. I did not release that letter to the public, so I do not want to link to it. Despite having a very negative opinion of Blanc, I was dismayed to see this — that he has been

I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors. Some woman claims that Bill Cosby raped her 30 years ago. He allegedly gave her a pill and some wine. Did it happen? I dunno. Maybe I just don’t want to believe that Bill Cosby would ever do anything bad to anyone. So for now, I’m in the “anything could be true, but doesn’t

I have no idea what E-Ventures does. Here’s their website. You figure it out. For all I know, it is the next big thing. I do know that it brought what seems to be a doomed claim. (Complaint) Apparently, Google decided that E-Ventures had behaved a little “spammy.” That seems strange to me, since I can’t recall the last time

Most people think that first the Berlin wall fell, and then East Germans got their freedom. “The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall,” a recent book by Mary Elise Sarotte explains that it is the opposite. Whereas the larger context of perestroika and the attractions of the West played an important role, the decisive factor was the conduct

I received an inquiry from a party who needs First Amendment counsel in Florida. I have a conflict, so I can’t do it. It is pro bono or perhaps super-duper low bono. It will be fun. (It is representing three individuals against Roca Labs in Broward County) Contact me at mjr at randazza dot com for details if you are

This weekend, I was lecturing my kids before they went out to ride bikes. I asked them “what is the most dangerous car?” The answer I was looking for was “a car going in reverse.” My son furrowed his brow, and then his eyes popped! “A POLICE CAR!” I hugged him and said “That is exactly right, you get full

You all remember SkyNet Google? You know, that little company that could? The one that swore “Don’t Be Evil” and “Make the World a Better Place” were its mantras? Yeah, then they turned into a bunch of evil fucks who would wrap the constitution around the Hulk’s dick and tell it to rape a handicapped child, as long as it

Yours will too if you watch this (Gwar covers The Pet Shop Boys and Jim Carroll)

There are plenty of articles out there on Roca Labs. I’ll just provide the order, without comment. Ok, one quote: As Plaintiff has not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of any one of its claims, it is unnecessary to address the other requirements for injunctive relief. (Opinion). Alfonso Ribiero has not made any comment about this. I

I make no secret about the fact that I do consider open bloody class war to be an ok way to fix things. “Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.” I felt that way when I lived off $300 a month, $60 of which was for the rent

As an discussion about space grows longer, the probability of a mention of Uranus approaches 100%. He who is the first to mention Uranus wins the thread or conversation.

Dear Canada, You’re already pretty awesome. The weather sucks, but if you ever get around to that Turks and Caicos thing, you can have your own Hawaii. I don’t like to join in when Americans make fun of you. They do that because they don’t know you. (I do admit that I hum “Blame Canada” once and a while, but

Marc’s recent post on How to Cite to Walter Sobchak, along with another friend’s comment on citing to The Pirates of Penzance, has inspired me to create a new Wikia. A compendium of this sort is long overdue. Legal Pop Culture Citations Wikia Your recommendations/assistance would be appreciated. Looking for: Song lyrics Movie quotes Play quotes Book quotes TV quotes.

I wish I could have had the luxury of growing up and living and spending my entire life in a nice place like the American West, but I was doing other things. As a matter of fact, when I think about it now, the place I lived longest in my adult life was Florida. Back when I lived there, I
