This is going to be one bizarre day… I watched a segment from Glenn Beck and not only did it not make me want to puke, but I agreed with him.

According to poll, Teabaggers are not poor white trash
Apr 15th, 2010 by marcorandazza posted in The Legal Satyricon
Despite the fact that Teabaggers seem like an unwashed mass of poor white trash to me, it seems that the data conflicts with my anecdotal perspective.

Dear the top 10% of income earners: Thank you! Because of your toil as business owners, doctors, lawyers and financial service experts, you are able to subsidize the lifestyles and safety of people like me – somewhat literate, moderately intelligent lifetime students – by paying more than 70% of all Federal income taxes.

Alan Grayson, the Democrat Congressman from central Florida, has been on a hot streak for bad PR. In December, Marc broke the story about Grayson’s poor reaction to constituent outcry over his childish antics.
I truly admired Alan Grayson. I think that his policies are good for America. I think that his style is exactly what [...]
Will the healthcare bill cover sewing someone’s jaw shut?
Apr 12th, 2010 by marcorandazza posted in The Legal Satyricon
Quote of the day:
‘If you’re trying to be bitchy, you’re doing a good job.”
Said by Barney Frank’s boyfriend to a pair of bitchy opthalmologists on a flight from LA to Boston when Frank wouldn’t talk to their drunk stupid asses. (source)
I don’t even understand what the healthcare bill did. Sorry [...]

Mar 26th, 2010 by J DeVoy posted in The Legal Satyricon
By J. DeVoy
The Minnesota House of Representatives recently killed a bill that would have prohibited government employees from staying at hotels that offer pornography on their in-room televisions when on official business. The Senate version of this bill, however, S.F. No. 2861, has made it out of committee and awaits a final vote.
The availability of [...]
One quarter of Republicans believe Obama is the Antichrist

By J. DeVoy
And here I thought Antichrist merely was the most badass film to come out of Cannes since Pulp Fiction. In a recent poll, 24% of Republicans, 6% of Democrats and a composite 14% of Americans believe that Obama is the son of Satan incarnate. Among other statistics, 40% of respondents said that they [...]
New York’s democrats want to legalize marijuana
Mar 23rd, 2010 by J DeVoy posted in The Legal Satyricon
By J. DeVoy
In an effort to bridge a $9 billion budget gap and be more like California, New York legislators want to legalize medical marijuana in order to realize $15 million in licensing fees. Though still subject to senate approval, the plan’s projected revenues have been included in the state’s 2010-11 budget. This proposal is [...]

Obviously, people have mixed feelings about this. The National Organization of Women is upset that the final bill doesn’t do enough to ensure women’s right to choose abortion. At the other end of the spectrum, Ferdinand Bardamu believes it will raise government expenses and taxes without doing anything to break the stranglehold of HMO’s [...]
Florida proposes tax credit only for “traditional values”
Mar 10th, 2010 by J DeVoy posted in The Legal Satyricon
By J. DeVoy
Florida’s Republican representatives have added a provision in a $75 million bill, intended to attract entertainment business to the state, which would deny a tax credit to television shows not considered “family friendly.” Shows that feature “cross-generational appeal” and forego smoking, profanity, nudity, sex and obscenity, will receive a tax credit equal to [...]

Although SLAPP suits are uncommon events, they influence real-world, extradjudicial interactions between different entities – especially in disputes. Groups and individuals can leverage tacit threats, insinuations and asymmetries of power to silence their opposition without ever going to the courthouse. Similarly, just as the broad effects of SLAPP suits have trickled down to [...]

By J. DeVoy
The Public Participation Project (PPP) weighs in on the importance of the Citizen Participation Act, which Marc previously discussed. In the midst of an ongoing war in Afghanistan and malaise over gossamer healthcare reform, PPP notes how a preoccupied Congress and public may overlook this important issue.
With so much happening these days: Afghanistan, Guantanamo, [...]
ANTI SLAPP MONTH: Blogger gets SLAPPed for passing on government warnings
Mar 5th, 2010 by J DeVoy posted in The Legal Satyricon
By J. DeVoy
At Elliott.org, the story of a travel insurance company’s SLAPP suit against the blog’s writer, Christopher Elliott, rises from the murk and into daylight.
