This shitstain on humanity is apparently supposed to matriculate at UVa Law, my alma mater, this fall. I hope they revoke his admission. I don’t see how this guy can even get admitted to the bar with such an ethics record.
(Update: according to the UVa Law School admissions office, he isn’t enrolled and they don’t expect him to be, so it’s possible that… the Internet is wrong!?!?!)
My home state, New Jersey, where I grew up and where I work (even though I no longer live there), has a governor’s race in the fall. The incumbent Democrat, Jon Corzine, has a 40 percent approval rating right now and is in danger of losing to Republican Christopher Christie, formerly the U.S. attorney for New Jersey, assuming Christie wins the Republican nomination against arch-conservative Steve Lonegan next week.
New Jersey’s quadrennial governor’s race comes in the year after the presidential election, and in every election for the past 20 years, the party that wins the governor’s race has been the party that lost the previous year’s presidential race.
1988: George H.W. Bush (R)
1989: Jim Florio (D)
1992, 1996: Bill Clinton (D)
1993, 1997: Christie Whitman (R)
2000: George W. Bush (R)
2001: Jim McGreevey (D)
2004: George W. Bush (R)
2005: Jon Corzine (D)
2008: Barack Obama (D)
2009: ???
Granted, this doesn’t totally hold up, because in 2000 and 2004, New Jersey actually voted for Gore and Kerry, even though the country went the other way. But it’s still weird.
I randomly came across this image online. OMG I love it I love it I love it. Domestic strife in the Ernie & Bert household!
Actually, here’s the book description:
Ernie is watching the wind blow outside his apartment and decides to fly a kite in the park. He convinces Bert to pack a picnic lunch and meet him under the big statue in the park. What neither know is that there are two statues in the park. Ernie waits to meet Bert under the statue of a boy and girl on a horse, while Bert waits under a statue of Mother Goose. They both become angry thinking that the other has forgotten about their plans, but discover there are two big statues in the park when they meet up back at the apartment.
