Not so well concealed Bias.

For the most part, those of us on "the list" could have probably thought that Romney was endorsed by one particular law student. Today, however, the cat is out of the bag. The Bias has shone through the torrential downpour of emails!

Not a day too soon...

While I did vow to quit, I felt it necessary to comment on this topic...sort of...

Yesterday brought another email with four (count them 1,2,3,4) new links to stuff about the crap that there were a billion links to before. I don't know what the topic is, or was, since I didn't read any of the first 8 trillian links, but I did want to comment about what it made me think of:

Why don't I start making my entire day's worth of browser history available both in web viewable form, podcast, and mass email? I know the idea is unoriginal (as demonstrated by the content of my previous post) but I am still looking for something to do with the 14 hours of free time I have each day when I'm not working, reading email from bohn, or spending time with my family. Stay tuned.

The Proverbial Towel.

Consider this a farewell of sorts. I almost made it a whole month, reading (or at least not immediately deleting) every piece of email from Mr. Bohn. Alas, I was incapable of keeping up with the pace. I know, I am a wuss. I never should have even taken up the challenge. (but in my defense, there were at least 72 of them!)

The scary part is how I estimated that there would be 64 for the month, and in fact, there were more. That is why I am getting out now, since the future looks very grim. However, I'll still (possibly) comment on things where I actually have an opinion, so maybe sometime in say... oh a few years I'll get one of those. Until then, I'll leave you with the backlog from the past week:
