Life isn’t fair. And you know what? That’s okay! But, if we can do something, anything to make life a little less unfair and it comes at a very low cost, why not? Every attorney knows evidence rule 403: is the probative value of the evidence being offered substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice. Simply, it’s… Continue reading

Poverty
Welfare is a great talking point for Republicans. “It’s my money and I want to keep it! It’s socialism!” Great. Keep going with that. By the way, do you believe in social security? Do you complain when you receive that check each month? That’s socialism. You should probably return it. An article in TownHall discusses how… Continue reading

Election 2012
This is not a discussion of the results of the election of 2012; this is a discussion of my experience as a participant in the election of 2012. I served as a Democratic Poll Watcher.
