Why No Posts Lately?

Apologies all around for the lack of posts lately.  Rest assured it’s unpleasant for us as well.  We will be back soon.

Both of us are law students and we are both tied up with final exams.  Exams will be over soon though, so hang in there and please accept our apologies.

In the meantime, feel free to contact us with questions, site suggestions, comments or complaints.  Also, if you would like to write for the site or if you’re a blogger and would like your content to be cross posted, please get in touch with us as well.

Best,

Angelo & John

The Kentucky Derby: A Bad Sign For Hillary

Interrupting studying for law school exams with breaking news. This past week, Hillary Clinton commented on the Kentucky Derby:

“I hope that everybody will go to the derby on Saturday and place just a little money on the filly for me. I wont be able to be there this year – my daughter is going to be there and so she has strict instructions to bet on Eight Bells.”

And today, Eight Belles finished … you guessed it, second. And not only that, but broke both ankles afterward and had to be euthanized on the track.

I imagine that Clinton will stay away from this analogy from now on … to say the least. Yikes.

Weekend Briefing (April 27, 2008)

Here’s what’s news this weekend…

• Rush Limbaugh is raising hairs for his suggestion and later clarification about his call (or desire) for there to be riots at this year’s Democratic Convention similar to the riots in 1968.
• Hillary Clinton calls for a Lincoln-Douglas style debate between her and Barack Obama.  The debate would be 90 minutes, no moderators, just the two candidates in a free flowing one-on-one discussion.  The Obama Campaign quickly and flatly rejected the idea.
• Yesterday was the White House Correspondence Dinner.  You can watch President Bush’s speech here (it was pretty funny).
• On a blogger call, McCain portrays Obama as the candidate of Hamas, saying:
  

  I think it’s very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States. So apparently has Danny Ortega and several others. I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas’s worst nightmare….If senator Obama is favored by Hamas I think people can make judgments accordingly.

  Joe Klein responds to McCain’s suggestion here.

• A look at some of HRC’s foreign policy stumbles coupled with the complaint that the press is underreporting an issue to support their narrative.  The press…underreport something?  *shock*

More to come, feel free to submit suggestions…
