Where Do You Find a Typewriter to Use Once?

No. 682 So. I need a typewriter, just once, to type on a form that can’t be hand printed. I see you can still buy them. But that would mean that I will have a piece of junk lying around that I will probably never use again. Or should I buy one on Ebay for […]

No. 681

Corporate Personhood

No. 680 Mitt Romney received catcalls when he rejected new corporate taxes (as opposed to individual taxes) on grounds that “corporations are people, too.” At least one media commentator pronounced this a gaffe. As a matter of fact, Romney was right. There is not a corporate entity in the world that is not owned by […]

Nancy Wake, the White Mouse, a Great Hero of WWII, Dies.

No. 679 Please take the time to click through to read a short biography published today in History Today about the most decorated Australian of World War II. A fascinating story.

No. 676 At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter. Then the LORD said to him, “Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by.” A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing […]

Rainy Days.

I heard on the weather report this morning that the next four days will bring rain. The cheerleaders who report the weather on TV work on the unspoken assumption that lots of sunshine is the only recipe for a beautiful day. Not so. Rainy days are beautiful, too.

Don’t Forget the Warhol.

Today would have been Andy Warhol’s 83rd birthday. This is a good opportunity to remind you non-Pittsburghers to visit the Warhol Museum, which is a next door neighbor to PNC Park. Warhol was one of Pittsburgh’s trio of famous Andys. The others were Carnegie and Mellon. No, Andy Russell wash’t as famous as those guys.

No. 673 Check out China Law Blog. Its been gaining readership for some time and is now No. 5 on the AVVO Law Blog list. It appears to be a must read for any lawyer with a client doing business in China. The picture you will get from reading CLB is kind of scary. Almost […]
