Disgusting
2 Comments Published by Kedar November 9th, 2007 in Kedar, State Courts, Court Procedure, Madness (Sparta?), Texas, Justices and JudgesI’ve been thinking a lot about the Michael Richards death penalty case. Richard’s attorney’s had computer difficulties and despite notifying the proper authorities, the judge in charge, Judge Sharon ‘Killer’ Keller slammed the door on them and forced the execution to proceed.
There are things that we can do. For years now, there has been a […]
Computer Problems To Blame For Texas Execution
0 Comments Published by Kedar October 5th, 2007 in Death Penalty, Court Procedure, Madness (Sparta?), Supreme Court, Texas, Justices and JudgesI blogged a few days ago about the surprising turn of events in which the Court refused to stay an execution on Tuesday but granted a stay in a nearly identical case on Thursday.
According to TheRegister (via Engadget), Michael Richards was unable to receive a stay on his execution because his attorney was 20 minutes […]

More Young People Need to Vote and Fewer Old People Need to Run Everything
10 Comments Published by AJ August 16th, 2007 in Equal Rights, Madness (Sparta?), Constitutional LawToday I’ve mused quite a bit about both how much I hate Dallas and also about a small constitutional question. I accidentally bought a Dallas Morning News instead of an Austin-American Statesman today at lunch, and this article was on the center of the front page. This was my first clue that I had bought a Dallas […]
Once You Go Brown…
1 Comment Published by Yao Yao July 28th, 2007 in Madness (Sparta?), Foreign PolicyApparently, the United States and India just recently (as in, circa last Friday) agreed on their nuclear energy cooperation deal.
This deal has been in the works for at least a year now, and all of the pros and cons have been repeatedly beaten into everyone’s heads. Supporters say the nuclear deal will strengthen non-proliferation efforts […]
I. Hate. Fox. News.
2 Comments Published by Kedar July 16th, 2007 in Republicans, Madness (Sparta?), MediaI absolutely abhor Fox News. This isn’t like my moderate disdain for useless celebrities or judicial activist who champion judicial restraint- this is full fledged loathing. During this particularly slow news week, Fox has gotten even worse than usual after reporting consecutive stories about Miss New Jersey, missing girls and missing girls. Its cool and […]
Staying Positive
5 Comments Published by Yao Yao July 15th, 2007 in George Bush, President, Madness (Sparta?)With the President’s approval rating lower than Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s weight combined, I feel this would be a wonderful time to reflect on the last six and a half years. We’re probably all familiar with the President’s numerous debacles (so numerous, in fact, that DailyWrit’s word count limit won’t permit me to list them), […]
20/20 Needs New Spectacles OR Why David Vitter (R-LA) Wants A New Cell Number
0 Comments Published by James July 11th, 2007 in Republicans, 2008 Congressional Elections, Celebrities, Madness (Sparta?), Congress, Current EventsEarlier this week, Deborah Jeane Palfrey – commonly referred to as the “DC Madam” – released (for public download) an unfathomably long list of phone numbers corresponding to former clients. Those of you unfamiliar with this case will be thrilled to learn that the USDOJ has alleged in the US District Court for the District […]
The Pottery Barn Rule: Moral Reservations About Withdrawl
2 Comments Published by Gary July 10th, 2007 in Democrats, Iraq, George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Republicans, President, Congress, Foreign Policy, Madness (Sparta?), Current EventsThe drums for withdraw grow louder each day as more and more bad news comes out of Iraq. With 3609 dead and counting, politicians and pundits are calling for withdrawal. Whether named a “redeployment” or the great escape, it’s doubtful that the current level of […]
Sheehan v. Pelosi? Please….
2 Comments Published by Kedar July 10th, 2007 in 2008 Congressional Elections, Democrats, Madness (Sparta?), Politics, CongressFor the last few days (or maybe I just haven’t read the news in a few days) I’ve been hearing that Cindy Sheehan might be running for congress against Nancy Pelosi. Sheehan declared that if Pelosi doesn’t introduce articles of impeachment in the next two weeks she will be running for office as an independent […]
Fish’s Foolhardy Fascism OR Clarence Thomas is [Not at All] Right
0 Comments Published by Kedar July 9th, 2007 in Civil Rights, Civil Liberties, Republicans, Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court, Madness (Sparta?), SchoolsStanley Fish wrote a very silly editorial on his blog over at the NY Times.
His title proclaims ‘Clarence Thomas is Right.’ When I read the title, I first thought 1) Yes, Clarence Thomas is decidedly conservative and 2) No, Clarence Thomas does not posses enough legitimacy to ever be considered ‘correct’. Fish flops over […]
Dr. No, 72, Excites Our Young Blogosphere
2 Comments Published by James July 6th, 2007 in John McCain, Blogosphere, Presidential Election 2008, Madness (Sparta?)I have never seen my dear beloved blogosphere so excited!
Everyone is very anxious to weigh in on the fact that, after Q2, fringe libertarian and pseudo-candidate Ron Paul ($2.4 million) has more cash on hand than John McCain ($2 million). Curious? Excited? Read more here (or here) ((or here)) (((or here))) ((((or here)))) (((((or […]
“Is Crack TOO Whack for Presidential Hopefuls?” asks a curious MTV
1 Comment Published by James July 4th, 2007 in Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, John McCain, Barack Obama, Presidential Election 2008, Madness (Sparta?)A recent MTV poll found that 68% of young Americans would vote for a candidate who has used marijuana. Good news for Obama. 25% would vote for a gay candidate, but only 22% would vote for a candidate who has used cocaine (bad news for Tom Tancredo). 41% of youngsters have favorable opinions of Hillary […]
I Hope These People Don’t Vote (….In Anything Except the GOP Primaries)
0 Comments Published by James July 3rd, 2007 in George Bush, Madness (Sparta?), Foreign PolicyBush’s decision today concerning Scooter Libby pissed me off.
But it did get me thinking. You might remember that I blogged recently about how history might ultimately remember President Bush. Similarily, there was a lot of talk in England last week about why that nation detested Blair so fervently. Several sources reached the conclusion that […]
