Me v. Dennis Prager

Posted on December 22, 2007
Not really; I actually love Dennis Prager, in a very manly way of course. With all the bombastic verbosity out there, I find him to be the most thoughtful and respectful conservative on the air waves, if not occasionally goofy. I listen to pretty much every hour of his show throughout the week via podcast as I work out...

Nomentum

Posted on December 20, 2007
It was not a great finals season for me. Let me underscore that has a 3L with a job in hand, my motivation to excel on my exams is really minimal. Don't get me wrong; I'm really focused on learning the material, if for nothing else, pass the bar. My primary motivation is learning things that will improve my skills as a lawyer, which, unfortunately, doesn't necessarily line up with jumping through the often ridiculous hoops of law school exams...

The Speech

Posted on December 06, 2007
Pre-Speech Thoughts: There are at least three potential reasons for Romney?s speech on faith today; 1) to assuage doubts of undue influence by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2) to explain how Romney?s faith will influence his presidency, 3) to explain the church?s doctrines or precepts to the nation...

MPREssions and Other Thoughts

Posted on December 03, 2007
After a long an arduous journey, I have finally passed the MPRE. For those who don't know or remember the MPRE (Multi-state Professional Responsibility Exam) is national ethics test that every prospective lawyer must take and pass. I registered for it this summer, studied for it for a few days, and even took four hours on a Saturday and went to the BarBri prep course in Frisco...

Fair Tax Take

Posted on December 01, 2007
Someone recently e-mailed me asking my take on the fair tax. Here was my response:I'm certainly not an expert on the fair tax or any straight consumption tax, but I have heard a lot about it. I understand it to mean the abolition of our current tax code (how can that not be a good thing?) and replace it with a 23% sales tax...

Huck Norris!

Posted on November 19, 2007
I realize I?ve already endorsed Mitt Romney, but I forgot to mention that my free will always has the unspoken caveat ?subject to Chuck Norris approval.?Seriously I?m not a Huckabee guy; too much of an economic populist in my view, but you have to love this commercial...

Three T-Shirts

Posted on November 17, 2007
I rarely read something that elicits laughter, and yet I recently saw the following three t-shirts on-line that really tickled my funny bone. So much so that I felt compelled to memorialize the moment in this very blog entry. #3 The pic is a little small so for those who can't see it too well it is a picture of a blimp blowing up with the phrase "Blimpin' Aint Easy...

Vegas Baby!: Democrat Debate Analysis

Posted on November 15, 2007
I?m going to type biting and insightful remarks as the debate unfolds. - The theme that is being hit on early and often, or at least the one I found the most offensive, was hit on by virtually all of the DNC candidates, namely that Americans are struggling in their daily lives and as they do so, they are wondering why their government doesn?t do more for them...

Safer? At least 19 Terrorist Attacks Thwarted Since 9/11

Posted on November 15, 2007
I personally know too many people on the left for which this will mean nothing. Because waterboarding was used (only three times by the way) or phone calls to terrorist sponsoring countries were tapped, it doesn't matter that thousands of lives have been saved...

Mitt Romney Hodgepodge

Posted on November 15, 2007
As an unabashed Romney supporter, I?ve been following his campaign and the election in general very closely and feel compelled to share a few interesting things I?ve read recently. Just feel lucky that I?ve stopped myself from making daily blog entries about the campaign: - Here is a copy of a 1994 Romney campaign flyer when Mitt was running against Ted Kennedy...

With So Much Drama in the LBC: Anti-War Vets Excluded from Long Beach Veterans Day Parade

Posted on November 09, 2007
I love my home town, I really do. I proudly tell people that Long Beach is my home town and visiting Long Beach is, to me, like wrapping myself in a warm blanket. And if it were possible, my affection for my home town grew when I read this story. Apparently anti-war veterans are being banned from marching in the Long Beach Veterans Day parade...

Suppressed Memory Resurfaces: My Willie Didn?t Do Nothin!

Posted on November 04, 2007
I recently watched this NFL commercial featuring Long Beach Poly alum and NFL superstar Willie McGinest. I?ve met Willie once; he came to my CIF championship game in 1997. Willie was a great basketball player in high school who also happened to win a CIF championship while playing for coach Ron Palmer...

Crazy Things I Heard on the Way to White Plains

Posted on November 04, 2007
I am a right wing kook. There?s no doubt about it. I believe in small government, small taxes and big military. However, I?d like to think I?m fairly open-minded about opposing view points. It?s probably fair to say that I even prefer to sit at a table with someone who opposes my views than with someone who embraces them...
