Departures Magazine – You may blow me now
By Marc J. Randazza I have a pretty awesome American Express card limit. If I decided to go on the lam, I could probably just buy a plane and worry about it later. I carry no balance on it, but it’s nice to know that if I gotta grab a car in a hurry, I can buy it. I’m not
Now this is a judge who knows how to pound a gavel
heh heh… heh… So he had porn on his work computer. Big fucking deal. Still, gave me the opportunity to use that joke in the headline, so Judge Gibbons, tyft.
There's good reason for why all of my friends are Trekkies…

Welcome to Georgia, USA
By Tatiana von Tauber I found this opinion piece in the local paper today. It was a letter to the editor and it reads: “Don’t vote from list writer says” Editor: I have Democrat friends both black and white. What they tell me is appalling. I have been told by the black friends that when it comes to elections that they go
News Flash: L.A. Times Prints Whiney Panic Piece
by Jason Fischer Okay. So it’s not really a news flash – it’s kinda the bread and butter of the L.A. Times to print whiney panic pieces. However, this story hit upon our sweet spot. Reporter David G. Savage writes to warn us all about the dangers of criticizing others on teh interwebs. The advice to bloggers and emailers: “think
Support the Iowa Supreme Court
Back in April, the Iowa Supreme Court issued an inspiring ruling, which struck down Iowa’s ban on same sex marriage. (earlier post). Whether you give a shit if gays get married or not, the court’s decision was well-reasoned and upheld the principle that “equal” means “equal.” In response, Bob Vander Plaats, a Republican candidate for Iowa Governor called for an
The Passion of the Chris
By J. DeVoy In a recent GChat session about his recent video game post (reprinted with permission), Christopher Harbin – who endorsed Obama just two years ago – saw the light: Christopher: and the whole thing is solved by the market Christopher: let them price the used market into the beginning [price] Christopher: now it’s 90 bucks Jay: and people will
Sri Lanka Government – "Only imported porn, please"
Sri Lanka blocked access to 100 porn sites that feature Sri Lankan actors. (source) I suppose that’s not such a terrible thing. They can take the textile manufacturing jobs, and we’ll keep the porn jobs here in the USA!
The Academic Feminist Witch Hunt
By Marc J. Randazza “Feminist Law Professors,” is a blog that throws cyber-tantrums at the notion of anonymous speech on the internet. (more and more) Their comment policy prefers that the authors name themselves, of course. But, when they decide to start an academic lynch mob, these rules go out the window, and on go the masks. They bring us

Paging Captain Obvious!
Ken Mehlman finally came out of the closet. (source) I will give him some credit. At least he came out in a classy way – not in a typical Republican way, like after being caught snorting meth off a pool boy’s dick in a public restroom.
Inappropriate Alertness
By Marc J. Randazza In Elmwood Place, Ohio, a woman was pulled over for having illegally-tinted windows. No wonder she had them tinted so dark, because behind them she had her pants unzipped, and had an un-specified sex toy in her lap. She apparently confessed to the police officer that she was masturbating with the sex toy while watching porn
Penny Arcade Turns Traitor: Says Used Game Purchasers "Pirates"
by Christopher Harbin I’m stark raving mad right now. I’ve never been much of a hot head. And over the years my old age has tempered my immediate reactions, but I went from Calmsville to Livid City after reading Penny Arcade’s latest comic without so much as a stopover at Smoldering Anger Junction. The comic was commenting on a new
Update: Damon exercises no-trade clause, prefers Detroit to feces-filled bee tank.
I just got off the phone with Johnny “Jesus” Damon who informed me that he has exercised the no-trade clause in his contract, nixing the Red Sox’s waiver action. “I love Detroit,” says Damon. He continued: “Although spending my remaining years in a feces- and bee- filled tank in the Red Sox bleachers would be a step up in terms of
Fox News PWNED (again) over the "Terror Mosque"
By Marc J. Randazza Pwned, Pwned, Pwned.
If Dr. Laura sang 'nigga'
by Tatiana von Tauber …she might have gained a new audience and kept her radio show. Aside from her, here’s a fantastic expression of words like “fuck you” and “nigga”. Context is everything. An aquaintence of mine called this ‘clever’. Excellent description. Enjoy. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAV0XrbEwNc]
Johnny Damon back to Boston?
By Marc J. Randazza ESPN reports that the Red Sox was claimed on waivers by the Boston Red Sox. (source) I sent Chris Harbin to Boston to interview the Red Sox management about the move. Management issued this statement to Harbin in a Legal Satyricon exclusive interview: Red Sox Nation should not be concerned that Johnny Damon may be playing
Third Circuit to Public Colleges: Enough With the Speech Codes
By William Creeley, Special to the Legal Satyricon The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s decision in McCauley v. University of the Virgin Islands, issued last Wednesday, is a big win for student speech. For the second time in two years, the Third Circuit has struck down a public university’s speech code on First Amendment grounds —
