Why is making love fun, but making fun is not love?

Good Start for the Bears Pre-Season

The Bears pulled one out in the fourth quarter to start the season with a win. Ok, so it was the pre-season. It still feels good. Need something to root for since watching the Cubs has been like dining on crap, having lost six in a row. I guess I could be a White Sox fan for the rest of the season. My back-up team, the Nationals, are little better than the Cubs; they're more like dining on vomit.

A Critic Takes On the Logic of Female Orgasm - New York Times: Here's an interesting article about a book analyzing the thoeritical evolutionary explanations of the female orgasm. The author of the book seems to debunk most of the explanations. Evolution seems to create more problems than it solves.

I even made it in record time because I was able to do between 80 and 85 on the beltway (I was probably pushing 90 a couple of times). There were windy times and rainy times last night, but nothing frightening. Now it's gone.

No more legal stuff here folks. Legal stuff will now be over on Strict Constructionist.

Here they go again. The Padilla case is something to watch.

Here is Beaumont. In spite of the snowstorm, we finished our amicus brief in Lawrence v. Texas, 02-102. That brief is here.

On January 23, we (the firm) filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in the case Ryan v. Telemarketing Associates, 02-1806. You can see our brief here.

Sunday night, February 9, we finished an amicus brief in FEC v. Beaumont, 02-403. Actually, it was 3:30 in the morning. I'll put up a link when the brief is up.

Ok, it's been over six months since I posted anything. My goal is to post at least once a week (that's not unreasonable). I've also started working on my other webpage: www.geocities.com/greenvandenplas. Needs lots of work.
