Some Updates

Greetings and welcome to the Un-Zone, the site for all things related to Un, or at least stuff that seems interesting to the writer of this blog, the Un-Zone. Things are slowing down right now, as it is the holidays and whatnot. Even the writer needs a holiday, especially after another semester of law school, or the train called Cynicism Unlimited. Law school is not recommended if you want to leave there with rosy optimism about the real world. Trust me. You'll begin to feel and see your soul rot away after a while. Just kidding. They nuke it away.

It's time to do websites I found to be interesting. Yeah, I'm lazy. So what? It's my site.

The Patriot Act has been extended for six months. I guess civil liberties aren't as important as they used to be.

In the Irony Department, the following site. Let's say you're an anti-spam crusader. Spam as in junk mail and not the canned meat made by Hormel. Yes, Spam is made out of actual meat (pork muscle tissue) and not mysterious substances like organs. If you want internal organs, try chorizo or headcheese. Chorizo contains lymph nodes and salivary glands. Really.
Anyways, let's say you want to be governor. How do you tell everyone of the great things you have done? You get the e-mails of thousands of citizens and send them an unsolicited mass e-mail. Irony.

It's that time of the year when the President of the United States pardons deserving people. I wonder if Mr. Libby is on the list... Well, the President used to have a drinking problem but he was saved by the grace of God and Jesus Christ. Who better to pardon than two Tennessee men convicted of making moonshine? More irony.

The display of the Ten Commandments is considered constitutional. The display also contained the Star Spangled Banner, the United States Constitution, and other historical documents. The court cases on this issue are confusing and they contain not-so-helpful rules on what violates the First Amendment and what doesn't, so please do not consider this in any political manner. What is interesting is the language used in the opinion. I'm not sure if the following phrases sound very judicial: "tiresome" arguments and the ACLU is not a "reasonable person."

Finally, since Christmas is three days away, a story about a person who likes Santa Claus. OK, maybe "like" isn't the right word. Maybe "obsessed" would be better. This is coming from the woman who has collected over 6,000 Santa Claus related items in her house. Well, you can't argue with a person who has the holiday spirit...

That's all for now.
