Bull Moose Strikes Back

What do you do when you haven’t had the time or energy to post on your blog in a couple of weeks? Why, start a new blog of course.

TheBandBlog.bullmoosestrikesback.com is my new blog which will cover only one subject: My decision to undergo gastric banding surgery.

I decided to separate it from this blog since the subject might be very boring to a lot of people and because I wanted to make the postings more accessible as a resource to other people investigating gastric banding surgery.

If you think the subject interests you, check it out.

With law school done I’m finding a dearth of topics to blog about. I looked at what I blogged about before law school  – politics, war, idiots at work. I don’t have any more crazy co-workers, the war is settled, Bush Derangement Syndrome is slowly fading away, and I find Obama boring.

Now when I say I find Obama boring, I mean I find him boring like I find dying of an inoperable lung cancer after 30 years of smoking boring.  We were asking for it, so it’s hard to complain now.  Obama’s going on a worldwide apology tour prostrating our country before our enemies and quasi-enemies? He told us he was going to do it, we elected him anyway.  He’s running trillion dollar deficits?  He told us he was going to do it, we elected him anyway.  Trying to cripple industry by a stupid cap-and-trade carbon system based on panicking over half-baked science (giving his motivations the benefit of the doubt)? He told us he was going to do it, we elected him anyway. Nationalizing the car companies? He didn’t specifically tell us that one, but it shouldn’t be that big of a surprise based on what he did tell us he was going to do. And so forth… Point being, I’m having a hard time getting too riled up that he’s keeping his promises.

If only I was gay. It seems that at least some gay people are getting irritated with the president. But maybe those people have no one to blame but themselves. If they had paid attention to what Obama was saying during the campaign – which sounded a lot like what Miss California said – and viewed him as a politician rather than rushing to annoint him the savior of all that was holy to the secular progressive left, maybe they wouldn’t be so irritated either.

Which brings me to something to blog about regarding the President: Why does he oppose gay marriage? Most of me thinks it is just a cold political calculation. Gay marriage can’t even win at the polls in California, and many on the left still blame the gay marriage push as a big factor that helped return Bush to the White House in 2004. In short, I don’t think Obama ever had much to gain getting behind gay marriage but a lot to lose.

There is another part of me, however, which is probably naive, which thinks maybe Obama as a black man and a constitutional law professor doesn’t see gay rights, and gay marriage in particular, as a civil rights issue. Every once in a while I’ll hear some gay rights activist say something like “Some day we’ll look at the time when a gay man couldn’t marry another gay man as backwards as the time when a black man couldn’t marry a white woman.” I always think that if I was a black man that statement would irritate me. Gay is not black. A gay man can marry the exact same class of people as a straight man. I know that’s not who the gay man wants to marry, but wants don’t always equal rights.

And then I remember that I don’t really care about gay marriage one way or another and stop thinking about it. But hey, there’s some political  blogging. I feel better.

I’m moving this blog into early 2008: I now have a button on the sidebar that allows you to instantly share any of my wisdom and hilarity on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and so forth.

Fancy.

• I’ve got two long pieces I’ve been peculating for a long time. I just need to get the time and motivation to write them out. Go figure that when I sit around writing bullcrap all day for work I don’t feel like sitting around writing bullcrap in my free time.
• My wife is traveling to DC on business this week. “Baching it” used to be a lot more fun when I didn’t have a 4-year-old and a 20-month-old left with me. The only time my Xbox 360 has been turned on so far is to stream “The Water Horse” through the Netflix function for my daughter.
• The “No dishes dinner plan” tonight was KFC. Tomorrow we’re going to the Chinese buffet. Wednesday will probably be Costco pizza – Canadian bacon and pineapple since we can’t get that when mom is home. Thursday is pending.
• I also told my daughter I would buy her a Topsy Turvy at Walgreens if she didn’t give me much grief this week. She might have gotten her grandpa’s green thumb. However her grandpa is also the one that killed any green thumb I might have had.
• Here’s one from last week: “The budget deficit has been revised up to $1.84 trillion. The Democratic Congress and President are spending…. ZOH MY GAWD WANDA SYKES SAID SHE HOPES RUSH LIMBAUGH DIES IN A COMEDY BIT!!! OUTRAGE!!!” Let’s not be so easily led around by the nose, people.
• I’m finally getting around to watching the last few episodes of “Life on Mars.” After it ended I had no motivation to keep up. It’s nice to see that how much I like a show is still directly proportional to the chance that it will not survive the season. Now where am I going to get my Harvey Keitel fix?
• I was swore into the bar on Friday. Surprisingly I haven’t been forcibly relocated to Bainbridge Island nor has Satan been by to collect my soul.
• 70’s and sunny for Memorial Day weekend in Western Washington? Sounds too good to be true.
• Who the hell are these people that still have questions about the digital TV transition?
• I’m back to the portion of the half-marathon training where 5 miles feels like a short run. The Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon sold out, so we needed to move the training up three weeks to the North Olympic Discovery Marathon, which seems like a nicer run anyway. Plus it will give us to do a 5k circuit run around the bridges right near my house. I do that 5K during training anyway, might as well do it for a good cause.
• I don’t think there’s much chance of the drive-in theater playing Star Trek and Terminator: Salvation as the double feature this weekend.
• If a school my kid went to showed “The Story of Stuff“, they could expect to have a long conversation with me. And my first question would be why they don’t understand things like “prices”. My second would be why they don’t questions statements like “More than 50% of our tax dollars go to the military.” (It does… if you take out Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. However, if you take out military spending, it takes up 0%. Makes as much sense) or “We have less than 4% of our original forests left.” (We have about 80% of the forest land that we had in the lower 48 in 1776 (PDF). I know it is hard for an East Coast Liberal to imagine, but fly out and I’ll show it to you.) And of course: Why the hell are you showing a video which tells kids that it is the government’s job to “take care” of the people? And that’s just a few of the questions in the first few minutes.
• Governor Gregoire just signed the “Everything but marriage” bill into law. It gives gay couples the same rights as married couples without using the word marriage.  Much like California, a group is going to try to overturn the law by referendum. It’s going to get noisy around here.

I’ve got a built in webcam on my new laptop, and I’m trying to resist the urge to vlog. But then I think, who am I to deny this hansom mug to the world?

The one thing I wish I did more of on this blog which I think would be easier to do in vlog form is movie/DVD reviews. Especially since I could splice in some fair use footage of the movie/DVD in question.

I’ll have to do some betas and show them to my people before any vlogging shows up on this blog.

Add Twitter to things that I don’t get. I have added a Twitter widget to the sidebar. I’ll try it for awhile.

Maybe I’ll get it. I didn’t “get” Facebook until I tried it again, and have since found out it’s useful for elevating my self esteem by looking at what has become of my old high school classmates and for keeping up with my siblings, other when they’re on this blog fighting with me about politics, that is.

I guess here’s how not to use it:

Whoa… as I’m writing this I got an e-mail on my BlackBerry telling me that I now have someone following me on Twitter. What the hell? (Oh, I see. They are spammers.)

I’ve been neglecting blogging, but I’m finally shaking off the last of my post-bar exam hangover.  I’m getting back into the swing of living like an actual human being who has a job and leaves the house.

I’m back at work. But now I have a new, big office. It was the office of one of the partners who left the firm. It’s my office now. The last occupant was a 5 foot tall woman, so I have to re-imagine it. I need to move some things around so I don’t bang my head or knees. I’ve got to put some things on the wall to shake off the “chick vibe” of the place. I also have to get rid of the few candles that she left.

I actually got a pretty sweet deal coming back to work. The remaining partner is interested in keeping overhead down and motivating me to bring in work. So instead of paying me a straight salary, I’m keeping 1/3 of what the firm bills and collects from my work. The downside of that deal is I have to start bringing in my own work soon. The upside of that is that my boss has so much more work than he can handle right now, I can feed off of his for quite some time and make a lot more money than I thought I would over the next couple of years. I can come and go more or less as I want as long as I keep the court and clients happy. It’s kind of like having my own firm, only without the urgent need to market and no overhead. (I even got the firm to buy me a much needed new laptop computer which I am using right now.)

My other reason for not blogging lately is lack of interest in my usual subjects:

Politics – Obama is doing what we all thought he would and there’s nothing that can be done about it. For some reason, everyone on the left and right is fixated on Rush Limbaugh, which seems to happen once every five years. Boring.

Sports – It’s between the Super Bowl and March Madness. Vacuum.

Now that I’m starting to feel like myself again, I’m sure I’ll be back to daily posts. I suppose I have a whole post to write about being fitted with a BlackBerry.

My countdown timer in the upper-left hand corner is broken. It says there are 15 days until the bar exam, but seeing as how the bar exam starts on February 17 and we are still in January, I don’t see how that could be correct. I double checked the dates in the widget. It’s just broke. It’s very strange that the widget would just go TU since it was accurate throughout my countdown to graduation for over a year.

I’d take it down due to violations of math and/or the space-time continuum, but I want to see if it creates a wormhole or something. Maybe it just knows something I don’t….

The website of the day is The Comics Curmudgeon.

I’m a person who has always read the comics page of a newspaper first. I like starting off with in many papers, including the Seattle PI it is the most worthwhile thing in the paper. The only thing I will miss about the PI is the fabulous comic selection. They have a great mix of the good (Dilbert, Retail, Pearls Before Swine, F Minus, Dinette Set); the bad (Secret Asian Man, Curtis, Drabble, The Knight Life); the ugly (Rhymes With Orange, Mutts), comics which are worn out (Hi and Lois, Dennis the Menace, Beetle Bailey, The Lockhorns, Blondie); the wildly inconsistent (Non Sequitur, Sherman’s Lagoon, Pooch Cafe); and the those about a prissy girl who goes to Julliard, lives with a gay guy, and screws her childhood friend on a piano during a cello competition in Brussels (9 Chickwood Lane). That is one perfectly proportioned comic stew.

My fondness of comics aside, sometimes they get so ridiculous they need to be ripped apart. The Comics Curmudgeon does a nice job of that. He selects a few comics from each day and ridicules them. I’d venture to say that he has the same tone I would have if I had thought of it first. Take a look, he’s pretty funny.

I came across a comment by Ann Althouse in the comments section of this post on her blog that resonated with me.

Responding to, “I’m so glad I don’t live in a university town [like Madison]! An endless encounter with boring contemptible people with stupid ideas who think they’re so much smarter than anyone else. But Prof. Althouse seems to like it,” Althouse said:

I love enough about it to prefer it to all other options, but that doesn’t mean I love everything. Much of the energy that powers this blog consists of what I don’t love about Madison.

Testify, sister.  I love a lot about living where I do – mountains, forest, almost year-round motorcycling, MLB and NFL (kinda) – but much of the energy that powers this blog is what I don’t like about living near Seattle.  As the name suggests, besides being a tribute to TR and the second movie of the Holy Trilogy, I can only absorb so much of the bullshit before I have to blow off some steam.

My statement would differ from Althouse’s version a little bit however.  I’d say I love enough about it to prefer it to all other options currently available to my family and me. If I could scoot off to Whitefish or Topsail right now I would. I’d miss the proximity of MLB and NFL a little, but could live with trips to stadiums being very special occasions. Really with a Hughes Net dish, a DirecTV dish and some sports programming, and Amazon Prime what are you missing?

Despite the similarities in my feelings with Althouse, I do think there is a fundamental difference between Madison and Seattle, though. Seattle can drive me much nuttier. In Madison most of the people with, as the commentor said, “boring contemptible people with stupid ideas who think they’re so much smarter than anyone else” are tied to the University. Sure, Madison, like Seattle, has more than its fair share of luxury car lefties, but their ideals are usually soft. Madison doesn’t really have a hedonistic section of town like Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood full of hard core what they would call “progressive” idealists which is disconnected from the big university in town.

And I do have to note that after supporting President Bush for the last seven years, she has thrown her lot in with Obama. I’m not sure that she should feel like she has the right to be too contemptible for a lot of the lunacy that goes on in Madison. But I guess that’s part of being “eclictic.”

Thanks for reading this blog over the last year. Even though the couple thousand or so unique users that we draw a day makes this blog small potatoes, it’s fun to know someone is interested in what I – or rather what my blog persona – has to say.

Not surprisingly I had an increase in readership in this election year, but people from all over the world are coming in from a wide variety of searches and referrers. A lot of people came looking for a take on part-time law school, some came in for politics. One person came in on a search for “cartoon caveman shows with a baby that had alot [sic] of snot.” I don’t know what I’ve ever written that would help out with that, but I hope I could help.

If you have linked me, thanks a million.

The focus of this blog over the last three-and-a-half years was supposed to be about my experiences as a white, conservative, hetero breeder returning to academia at a school where those characteristics aren’t exactly treasured. Now I’m not sure what to do. I guess I’ll just go back to the Althousian mix of whatever piques my interest or annoys me that day (if I ever really left it).

I’m thinking about starting a blog with my real name attached this year – a blawg about regional happenings in the law. Most of the lawyers around here are long in the tooth and scared of “the internets” so the upside is there is some room for a blawg like that which I can use to make connections. The downside is trying to get those same long in the tooth lawyers to subscribe to an RSS feed of such a blawg. So I may be splitting my writing between two blogs.

However, I have a feeling with the bar exam, my first year in practice, year one of President Obama, and life as a dad marching on, I’ll have a lot to say in 2009 that I don’t want potential employers/clients to be able to easily find, so BMSB will go on. I’m looking forward to it all, and I wish you all a fantastic 2009!

Right Wing News followed up their poll of right-of-center blogger’s least favorite people on the right with of right-of-center blogger’s favorite people on the right.

Once again, John Hawkins asked for an unranked list of 1-12 people. My choices were:

• Antonin Scalia
• Clarence Thomas
• John Roberts
• Samuel Alito
• Bobby Jindal
• Paul Ryan
• Tom Coburn
• Mary Katherine Ham
• Mark Steyn
• Jonah Goldberg

The four SCOTUS Justices who are struggling to hold our constitution together, and occasionally succeeding when they can drag Justice Kennedy away from the other four, were the first who came to mind. It also is kind of a sad commentary on what has happened to the federal government over the last 75 or so years that constructionists/federalists have to be considered “right of center” these days.

Then we have what I think is the future of the conservative movement, if any, in America: Paul Ryan and Bobby Jindal. I was happy to see they both made the top 25. Bobby Jindal is my (extremely) early favorite for the 2012 Presidential race, and I’ve talked about Paul Ryan before.

Tom Coburn is the only Senator that doesn’t make me sick that comes to mind. I’ve since thought of John Thune, Jim DeMint, and Jim Inhofe, but one Senator is plenty.

Jonah Goldberg and Mark Steyn are on there for the same reason – they make their points with history, statistics, and biting sarcasm in the same way I try to. Only they’re good at it.

And Mary Katherine Ham… well, I just plain ol’ like Mary Katherine Ham.

Some people that made the final list that I didn’t vote for were some politicians like Newt and Fred Thompson. I guess after the last election I’m ready to look to the future and don’t want to hear about those people anymore. At least for now. We’ll see if conservatives have to go running back to them because people like Jindal and Ryan don’t pick up the torch.

Also conspiculously absent from my list was the #1 choice in the poll Sarah Palin. I still have high hopes for her, but she needs to learn how to defend herself. I’m not saying she needed to spend all of her time defending herself against the slime jobs that the media was only too happy to perpetuate, but whatever happened in the Katie Couric interview was a disaster, especially compared with the fine job she did in the VP debate. I think another reason I didn’t include her is that after the last few months of listening to all of the people in my corner of the left coast losing their mind, I could stand a few months without hearing her name. (I have one classmate who is still trying to convince me that Trig is actually Palin’s grandson, as if it matters anymore or that I want to hear a theory involving biology from a drama major.)

I participated in the Right Wing News poll “Right of Center Bloggers Select Their Least Favorite People on the Right.”

My selections were:

• Peggy Noonan
• Mitch McConnell
• Henry Paulson
• Christopher Buckley
• George Will
• Jerome Corsi
• Bruce Chapman

Because John Hawkins told us to leave off people who were disgraced and had no real support I left off Ted Stevens, even though he ended up making the list.

I also left off Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, Chuck Hagel, Arlen Specter, Andrew Sullivan, and Scott McClellan because I don’t consider them to be on the right, even though others apparently did.

Random thoughts on others that were on the list that I didn’t include:

• I thought about Colin Powell, then decided that despite my current sour-grapes feelings surrounding him, I really do admire the man.
• I probably could have thrown David Brooks on the list with Will and Noonan.
• I have a split opinion on Pat Buchanan. Sometimes he says things so stupid I want to punch him in the throat, sometimes he sounds brilliant.
• I can’t bring myself to dislike Ron Paul. He’s just too nutty. Ron Paul backers, sure.
• If I really disliked John McCain, I wouldn’t have voted for him. And in a way, he kind of served a purpose. No Republican was probably going to win after the Black Swan event in September, he was a good sacrificial lamb.
• I had Huckabee on the list, but took him off because he introduced me to The Little Rockers. How can I dislike him now?
• Ann Coulter honestly didn’t cross my mind. She kind of fits in the same category with Pat Buchanan for me. She’s kind of slipped into a parody of herself these days, which is a huge waste of her talent.

I was kind of surprised that four others didn’t name Jerome Corsi. His North American Union conspiracy theory seems to have annoyed a lot of sensible people, including the creator of the poll.

I didn’t expect Bruce Chapman to make the list. He’s the founder of the Seattle based Discovery Institute which pushes teaching intelligent design in schools.

It was fun to participate. I hope John lets me participate in his usual follow-ups: Favorite on the Right, and Least Favorite on the Left (how to limit to 12?).

UPDATE: Fixed the link to the RWN story. Yes, I noticed that the RWN link to my blog is broken.

The website of the day is Faildogs.com, which contains humorous images of dogs failing. Now that I know about this site, I’m sure my goofy dog will end up on the site at some point. He’s full of fail.

• The question in the link hook to this article was “Do men care if their wives make more than them.” Care if they do? As a man living in a community property state, I prefer it. I graduated school and made more money than her. Then she graduated school and started making more money than me (assuming my stock options don’t end being worth too much). I never felt threatened by that, but I can see how some less manly men might. Now I’ll graduate law school and probably make more money than her again, if not right after school then in a few years. I hope she does something to keep that pattern going, because I have my eye on a pretty big boat.
• Spring break next week! I’m taking the week off of work too. It seems kind of weird for a Catholic University to make it’s spring break the same week as Holy Week, but maybe they figured they’d kill two birds with one stone and not have to worry about having classes during the observances.
• I don’t know why my Netflix plugin is going batty and keeps saying I have four copies of Crash at home.
• Hey! I agree with Geraldine Ferraro about something. Huh. Broken clocks and all that, I guess.
• Congratulations to the University of Wisconsin for successfully defending their embryonic stem cells patents in reexamination. I’m not sure how that helps us get back to a Rose Bowl or NCAA hockey championship game, but it can’t hurt.
• The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights and the Public Patent Foundation in the article above are going to figure highly in a post that’s been brewing about intellectual property socialists. There are a lot of people who have figured out that they can get a lot of support for redistributing property if they start with IP, since a lot of people can’t conceptualize IP. (And high profile IP groups like the RIAA and MPAA, and so forth aren’t doing a very good job of defending IP with their ham-handed tactics.)
• I got a new cell phone with a 2.0 megapixel camera. Crappy cell phone camera pictures are getting less crappy with every new cell phone. The cameras won’t replace SLR cameras anytime soon, but they are handy for taking blog pictures. Here are a couple I took standing at the dock waiting for the boat tonight:

I always thought blogger E.M. Zanotti went to University of Michigan’s law school since she talked about being in law school and being in Ann Arbor. Then on one of my frequent trips to her post with the picture of John McCain checking out her rack I noticed that she went to Ave Maria School of Law.

Maybe it’s coming from another Big Ten school, but when I hear “Ann Arbor” (who is a whore) and “school” I just assume University of Michigan. I’m sure Ave Maria is a fine school, but it doesn’t quite have the reputation of Michigan’s law school (few schools do). In fact, I don’t find her quite so intimidating anymore. (I’m easily intimidated by 110 pound women.)
An interesting thing about that Ave Maria School of Law is that unlike certain other Catholic law schools I could talk about, they actually seem to be, you know, Catholic. Note the many crucifixes around the school and prominent placing of a pro-life rally on their website.

It looks like these kind of mix ups won’t happen anymore because the school is relocating from Ann Arbor to southwest Florida. Wait, what? Some of the old staff at my school still complain about the Tacoma to Seattle relocation.

It is time again to celebrate Festivus. Here at BMSB, we celebrate Orthodox Festivus which falls between Christmas and New Year’s Day (since we don’t have much use for Kwanzaa). While the Feats of Strength are not blog friendly, airing of the grievances are. What follows are a sampling of my Festivus Grievances for 2007:

• People in the left lane who wait until they are stopped at the red light to put on their blinker indicating their intention to turn left: What the hell? I see you do this at least once a day on my commute through Seattle. Sometimes I’m lucky not to have fallen for your trick, other times I do. I could have gotten in the right lane if you had the foresight of a common goldfish. Now I’m sitting behind you as you wait to turn, unable to change lanes as cars zip by me. If you’ve screwed me really well, you’ll turn through the yellow at the last second when oncoming cars have stopped and leave me stranded for another light cycle. You suck.
• My female co-workers who wear scarves, hats, mittens, coats, in the lab in the winter: Stop it. It is the exact same temperature in the lab 24/7/365. It has to be. In the same exact conditions in July you wear shorts and sandals in the lab (stop that, too). Are you that easily manipulated by your imagination?
• The Seattle Ferry Terminal McDonalds: Again, you attempt to destroy my Christmas spirit by not having Egg Nog shakes available as late as December 6. Grinches.
• People who can’t be bothered to return their carts to a cart corral in store parking lots: You lazy bastards. If you can push your cart full of Slim Fast, Diet Cola, Bon-Bons, and potato chips to your Suburban, you sure as hell can push it back empty fifty feet to a corral so they aren’t rolling around dinging people’s doors or taking up spots. If I have the time to push mine back, you sure as hell have the time to push yours back.
• People who reply to writing above urinals or in shitter stalls: Stop it! The only thing more stupid than writing on bathroom walls is replying to the writing on bathroom walls. As interested as I am in the ongoing discussion about whether Hillary Clinton is a socialist and whether or not that’s a good thing that is going on above the urinal in the ferry terminal, I will punch you in the throat if I see you writing it.
• Christmas music stations that play Hanukkah tunes: That’s all well and good, until Hanukkah is over. Then it just makes you look ignorant and/or politically correct to the point of stupidity.
• Activision: What’s the point of not letting Rock Band guitars be compatible with Guitar Hero games? It seems you could reciprocate the Harmonix’s (the original Guitar Hero developer) controller impartiality.
• Law firms who interview candidates, and never bother to contact them if they didn’t get the job: I asked around, it’s not just me you did that to. I know we’re just students, but it doesn’t reflect well on the firm that you can’t mail a simple “thanks, but no thanks” letter. I’m not sure I’d want to work for such an unprofessional firm anyway.
• Semi truck drivers who think they own the interstate: I realize you think you own the road because you spend so much time on it, but you don’t. The next one of you who honks at me because I wouldn’t let you cut me off or, worse, doesn’t bother looking for motorcycles before aggressively changing lanes is getting stabbed in the neck with a pen.
• Pakistan: What the hell? Get your crap together. Take some meds or something.
• Time Magazine: Vladimir Putin for Person of the Year? Yeah, I can see the argument, but he kind of pales in comparison after me, the choice last year.
• The Food and Drug Administration: Are you more crooked than you are incompetent? There’s no reason to decide!
• People who liked The Transformers: OK, I get it. It’s all been a big joke played on me to confuse me. We can all admit it was terrible now, right?
• Robert Jordan: You could have died after you finished your opus instead of leaving us all hanging.
• Disney, 20th Century Fox, and Sony Pictures: You bastards are really going to make me buy a Blu-Ray player aren’t you? I don’t expect Sony to go neutral, but the other two should just take a bribe from M$ and Toshiba like Paramount did.
• The Milwaukee Brewers: I’m used to having my hopes built up, only to have them dashed by a collapse. But not like that.
