Helen Thomas is a “nut job” and “losing it” because Thomas writes that President Bush led us
“to invade Iraq without provocation.” [It's fair to assume she meant "adequate provocation".] Once again, Prof. B’s politics seem to trump many of his better virtues and thought processes.
Walter Olson (with an “oh”) has a good rundown about California’s Unfair Competition Law, s. 17200, and the related Proposition 64. Will lawyer-abuse leave consumers with less protection?
SoCalLawBlog spotlights Melanie Blum’s four-year sentence for robbing her clients (many of
whom were victims of fertility clinic scandals). “Four more years!”
Advantages to Living in a Very Blue State: (1) very few presidential tv ads; (2) no carpet-
