Michael Moore sounds...sane?

You really ought to take the time to read Michael Moore's piece on the Democratic Primary Season. He has kept his obnoxious and large mouth out of the race until today, when he posted a plea for PA democrats to vote for Obama on his behalf.

Here is the link.

Here is a great little clip that seems to be going unreported:


Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.


Will the hypocrisy ever end?!?

Is it just me...

Or do the Clintons want to be Republican?

CNN.com is reporting that Clinton's latest ad features Pearl Harbor and Osama Bin Ladin. Thats right. HRC has resorted to fear-politics. The exact kind the Democratic party has lambasted for the last 8 years.

Not only that, Bill Clinton came out today with a bunch of bullshit about how, under the GOP primary rules, HRC would be leading the race.

Wow. The family that knows no boundaries, no limits, no shame.

And a President hell-bent on destroying his legend.

And now I'll have to vote for McCain if HRC manages to steal this election.

You see what you've done Hillary? You see what you've made me do?!?

Outspent. Outfundraised. Outclassed.

Clinton v. Obama: Experience

Lets look at the "35 years of experience" that the Clinton Camp keeps harping on:

The Facts:

Senator Barack Obama

1996-2004 (Illinois State Senator)

2005-2008 (United States Senator)

12 Years of Elected Office Experience

Senator Hillary Clinton

2001-2008 (United States Senator)

7 Years of Elected Office Experience


(FYI - George W. Bush had 6 years in office before the presidency)

So, 35 years that Hiliary keeps talking about, less 7 years of elected office = 28 years

Here are the remaining 28 years -

8 Years (Lawyer)

12 Years (First Lady of Arkansas)

8 Years (First Lady of the U.S.)

28 Years of Zero Elected Office Experience


Since when is 20 years of being a first lady equal the type of experience needed to be president?

Does that mean that the wife/husband of a heart surgeon is qualified to transplant my heart?

Don't let Clinton Supporters blindly throw "experience" in the face of voters - share this with other voters.

At the very least, it is absurd to imply that being a member of a state legislative body is not "experience" while being the spouse of a governor or president is.

Her experience is valid, and important - but it does not significantly distance her from Barack Obama in a discussion about who is ready to lead this country.

Top 10 Signs Its Exam Time

Direct from the home office in Knoxville, Tennessee -

The Top 10 signs its exam time:

10. The lights in the law school have switched to "reserve power" meaning that I am at the law school after 1:30am;

9. I have not slept in more hours than I can count;

8. My diet consists mostly of sugar free red bull, diet coke and pharmaceuticals (as properly prescribed, don't get the wrong idea);

7. Aaron needs a haircut;

6. I am buying CDs on iTunes just to avoid listening to The Darjeeling Limited soundtrack for the 40th time today;

5. I can feel my heart beating in my throat;

4. I am wasting time desperately trying to come up with ten items for this list instead of finishing my take-home Disability Law exam;

3. I've taken to watching season 2 of Prison Break as a means of rewarding myself for solid stretches of diligent work;

2. I'm going to waste even more time by taking this away message and posting it on the blog; and

The #1 sign that it is exam time again:

I just had to go back and reverse the numbering on this list because I'm so tired that I screwed it up. Yet, I was so concerned about this away message that I was willing to waste the time to fix it instead of doing my work!

Roadtrip Anyone?



What better way to cleanse the body of the Tennessee Bar Exam than a 11461 mile, 4 week road trip?

Knoxville, TN to Fairbanks AK (by way of Lake Nebagamon, WI and the BWCAW)

A visit to Camp Nebagamon.

A week in Denali National Park.

A day or two in British Columbia.

A drive down the Pacific Coast.

A day or two in L.A.

Three nights in Vegas.

The Great Salt Lake.

The Grand Canyon.

A voyage of literary proportions. The kind of trip that will wash our lives of all the mundane and clear our souls for the begining of the rest of our lives.

Done on the cheap, with no firm plans, reservations or accommodations - just a starting date, an ending date and a list of things to do.

The things we dream of during exams.

Let me save us all the trouble...

Let me save you the trouble.

I hate Auburn.

I hate Tennessee.

I hate LSU.

I hate going 6-6.

I hate losing to Auburn.

I hate losing to LSU.

I love beating Tennessee.

I am embarrassed to lose to La. Monroe.

I'm not embarrassed to lose to Miss St.

I'm embarrassed to have lost to Auburn tonight.

You want to talk shit about my coach being paid $4 Million dollars and going 6-6?

I'll be happy to point you in the direction of Mike Shula and the talent that he left on this roster.

I'll be happy to make excuses.

I'll tell you all about injuries, and the poor play of John Parker Wilson.

I've got all that if you want to hear it.

What I really want to tell you is that 6-6 doesn't matter.

That the calendar year of 2007 will be judged by the recruiting class - the 22 commits, two 5-star and twelve 4-star kids - and what they mean to the program when the are two years into their college career.

You want to talk shit about Nick Saban?

That is jealousy, because the god's honest truth is that every school in the country would take him at the helm of their program.

Every Auburn fan would take Nick Saban.

Every UT fan would take Nick Saban.

Every LSU fan would take Nick Saban.

Well he is the Alabama Coach, and as long as Coach Nick Mother Fucking Saban coaches in Tuscaloosa the future is bright.

Yeah, we went 6-6.

Yeah, that sucks.

Yeah, Auburn has won 6 straight against us.

Yeah, that sucks too.

But watch out...and enjoy it while you can.

Roll Tide Roll!
