ambivalent imbroglio{life is what happens while you're making other plans}Lights-Out, Then On Again- May 11, 2006 Dear readers, It's been fun, but this ambivalent imbroglio is hereby closed for business. It became a lot more about law school than I anticipated, and now that law school is over... But hey, when one door closes, another opens, right You are hereby cordially invited to become a regular reader of the brand new blog on the block: the imbroglio! Thanks to everyone who has visited, commented, and otherwise made ambivalent imbroglio such a rewarding project for me over the last three years. I...http://mowabb.com/ai/archives/007509.html Cognitive Dissonance Doesn't Even Begin to Cover This- May 9, 2006 So have you heard the one about the Michael Moore hata who has been begging for money to pay server costs to keep his blog going so he can continue to hate on Michael Moore Yeah, and did you hear why he can't pay his own server bills Because his wife is ill and they can't afford to pay her medical bills bc their insurance is screwing them around! He writes: Im fairly broke, and my wife has been in the hospital way too often in the last month. They raised the cost of our health insurance by...http://mowabb.com/ai/archives/007500.html Da, da-da, da: Done!- May 4, 2006 And just like that, my adventure in law school has come to an end. I completed my final final and, as far as I know, do not have a single further obligation for law school. Ok, I have to be in court tomorrow for a client, and that's technically law school-related, but only in the most technical sense. I also have law school loans to repay for, oh, maybe the rest of my life, but how about we not think about that right now, hmm Good, thanks. The feeling is definitely one of anticlimax. So this..http://mowabb.com/ai/archives/007484.html Hey basket, meet all of my eggs!- May 3, 2006 Although I've tried to keep my whining to a minimum here, for the past six months or so, L. and I have been thinking of little else besides where we're going to be living six months from now. Yesterday, that dilemma was finally solved when she took a great job in Billings, Montana! And we're moving at the end of the month! In a way it feels like I just took Jay-Z's choice b: bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor. Suddenly things seem to be moving very quickly and there's no doubt...http://mowabb.com/ai/archives/007474.html More LRAP: GW needs a real endowment- May 2, 2006 Once I get started, I just can't stop. But I'm thinking more about GW's LRAP. In a way you could say I came to GW only bc of its LRAP bc I only applied to schools wLRAPs. That means if GW hadn't had an LRAP, it wouldn't have been on my list and everything would have been different. So I have always planned to get a job that qualifies for the LRAP and I hope to be able to take great satisfaction in the fact that GW will end up paying back some (I hope large) portion of my loans. I've known...http://mowabb.com/ai/archives/007469.html GW Law Class of '06 Throws Down- May 2, 2006 I just learned that my fellow graduating (we hope) students at GW have been very generous this year in giving to the class gift. As the chart at right shows, 61% of the graduating class have donated money, with some sections (including 14, of which I am a member) reaching nearly 70% participation. If you're not impressed, just compare that with last year's participation of 51% and you'll realize that the class of 2006 has done a great thing here. Once we passed 52% participation, a group of...http://mowabb.com/ai/archives/007466.html It's now official: Montana is hiring!- May 1, 2006 As of just a few minutes ago, the Montana State Public Defender began advertising for multiple open positions in its new offices around the state.

Words cannot describe... Be sure you get to the latter part of the second clip in which Colbert makes obscene gestures to Justice Scalia. Just talkin' some Sicilian wmy paisan. Yikes!http://mowabb.com/ai/archives/007459.html |
