		<title>Let the Name Fit the Town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Word has it that the Winston-Salem Warthogs are looking for a new team name.  I think &#8220;Cancer Sticks&#8221; would fit the bill quite nicely, but no one I know in the area seems to agree.

		<title>Lost a Bet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time to  pay up.  I knew Cali had gone loopy but did not know they&#8217;d gone that loopy.  Oh well, at least this time it happened in a state that allows citizens to vote on stuff.  Still, the best was on how the court would rule, not what the ultimate outcome [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sorta-Live Blogging the NRA Convention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at the NRA convention, along with Uncle, Sebastian, Bitter, Sharp, Dave Kopel, and countless others.  If I had planned better, I&#8217;d be attending the firearms law seminar today.  Oh well.  Originally the plan was to drag the whole family along, but ultimately the wife and kids decided to take a pass. [...]]]></description>

		<title>DNA and Guilt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[the L.A. Times has an interesting article on partial DNA searches, prompting three posts  by Patterico (so far) and others by Eugene Volokh and Radley Balko.  In a nutshell, John Puckett was convicted in 2004 of raping and murdering Diana Sylvester in 1972, mostly on account of a partial DNA match.  Like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cool Song Lyrics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, I&#8217;m finally breaking down and joining the other bloggers who post song lyrics they think are really cool but probably mean jack spit to 99% of their readers.  This one is from one of my favorite rockers, Marius Müller-Westernhagen:
Ich bin der schwärzeste Neger,
ich bin der jüdischste Jud.
ich bin der deutscheste Deutsche
ich hab&#8217; das [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me and the Hillbilly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s recently come to my attention that Hillary Clinton and I have more things in common that either of us might have thought.  A non-exhaustive, likely-to-be-updated-per-comments list is below the fold.


We both attended elite law schools.
We both hail from the northern suburbs of Chicago.
We both have blond hair.
Neither of us will be mistaken for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headhunters Are Scum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent post about Paul, Hastings&#8217;s idiocy (made worse by rumors that two of the anonymized partners, and not the nice one, are fellow Boaltholes), got me to thinking about the other group of a-holes who pop up in the context of layoffs: headhunters.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong; not all headhunters are a-holes.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>McCain to Speak at NRA Convention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Uncly-Wuncly asks &#8220;It’s true. In the event I actually run into him, anything you want me to ask? Should I ask about baseball or McCain-Feingold?&#8221;  Since I&#8217;m going to the convention, too, I echo the question.  In the highly unlikely event that I get a chance to ask him anything, what should the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Not to Lay People Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Paul Hastings is learning this lesson the hard way.  A few words to the semi-wise*, so hopefully your company won&#8217;t have to:

If you need to lay people off, lay people off, but admit that you&#8217;re doing it to cut costs.  Unless something drastic has happened in the last three months, don&#8217;t simultaneously insult [...]]]></description>
