I say we introduce this chick to the "older attorney" from yesterday. Am I right or am I right?

And They Can Afford to Breed With You

Female law student in interview suit: I just get along with older white guys. We click. Women, younger guys, no so much.

Fellow law student: That's because you're fertile.

You had me at "older".

From a recent Craiglist listing:

Older Attorney Seeks Younger Girlfriend - 39

Call it a mid-life crisis, but I want a younger girlfriend. I'm 6'0", 195lb., and of German-Italian heritage, divorced with no kids. I'm a former pentathlete, so I'm in pretty good shape. And, I know this is important for finding a younger girlfriend on Craigslist: My apartment looks out over Central Park, I drive a Mercedes-Benz S600, and I wear a $44,000 Breguet watch.

I'm not looking for a "sugar daddy/sugar baby" relationship. I'm not giving anyone an allowance, or paying for someone else's apartment or car. But, I have a taste for the good life, so there will be a lot of nights out at fine restaurants and vacations to warm places in the winter.

E-mail me with a picture with a line or two about yourself. I'm looking for someone in her early 20s (at least 21), slim, white, and knows how to dress well.

Hat tip: Above the Law.

Judges can be so picky.

The Bitter Lawyer-Webisode 4

Season 1, Epiisode 4 in the Bitter Lawyer Series for your viewing amusement: Red Wine.

God prevails. For now.

As reported in this AP article, last year Nebraska Senator Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God, and alleged that God made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents and inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

Earlier last week, the lawsuit was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds.  The court held that:

Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice...

While at first glance it appears to be a sound decision, Senator Chambers raised a good point when he criticized the decision, asserting that:

The court itself acknowledges the existence of God...A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God's omniscience...Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.

I always thought the idea of omnipotence sounded really awesome.  Now, I'm not so sure.
