More Advanced Posting

Some craziness is going to keep me on the West Side all day tomorrow, so I'm posting in advance again. Have fun out there, peeps.

Unfunny Comic Strip of the Day

Today's U of C alum notes are presented by a Positively Unemployed research assistant and future lawyer:

"My prof today noted that this man [ed.--Brainerd Currie], who really got the CA and NY courts to change course big time, leading the American
Revolution in how our courts work, was a Chicago professor, a "Mad
Genius." I didn't know this until he mentioned it, as it's not listed
in the book where he worked. But you can just tell, and it makes
sense once you hear it he was a Chicago dork. He's the one that made
it acceptable for judges to say "The State of Illinois has a greater
interest in this matter than New York. Fuck you, New York!"

Why did he go Mad? Because he became so obsessed with the legal
problem of conflicting laws, once he moved onto Duke after the 50s at
Chicago, he was eventually found literally climbing a tree shouting,
"True Conflict! Apparent Conflict! False Conflict!" He died crazy,
at 53. God, I love that! Poor bastard. Tell me you Chicago fuckers
don't feel somewhat sorry for some dork losing it finally there....

Only those who have been to University of Chicago know why this
happens , this going Mad. This is why I resent comparisons by the HR
currency elite of grades to other institutions. For some schlep from
the midwest with nothing, I survived the fire, even doing well at
times. Just like you fuckers! I sort of like the Chicago madness
when not forced to deal with it at 18."

Editors note: Why Wonkette has a book deal, and this gentleman doesn't, is the great shame of American letters.

The elderly try to run over police officers.
"The hit-and-run driver, who turned out to be a senior citizen, was cited for failure to slow down or move over while passing an emergency vehicle displaying flashing lights and also ticketed for failure to stop and render aid in an accident with injuries."
