    Mrs. Carswell, my better half, told me to send in my resume. I declined. I am reluctant to reside in a State with those wanker militia taking over a federal wildlife refuge. Your lose. Sorry.

    Yes, definitely our lose.

    I need to amend my comment on its face. Strike lose. Should read loss. Definitely your loss. Could have taught your students who to beat a .18 blow DUI.

    No worries. The post states: "Dean Michael Moffitt, who has lead the University …"

    Captain, your influence is striking. However, I noticed a few posts to which you did not comment in your faux vernacular bs style. Time to tell that job fair story again.

    By all means, include the "who to beat a .18 blow DUI" type nonsense!

    BTW, Cap, you are certainly giving new currency to Hruska's famous comment, and likely would make Carswell proud as well.

    I am not sure what you are referring to regarding a "job fair story." I like a good chuckle, so tell me. Yes, I confess to being a mediocre solo attorney belting out lonely tune to those who will listen. I surprise myself everyday how little I know. So, I have a typo here and there….sometimes the motions I file are of the scratch out type borrowed from the public defender's office. This is especially true of motions to substitute a judge. I usually don't anticipate going to court to burn a bridge. The point being, in the rough and tumble world of low cost/fee volume practice, typos and scratch outs are common. Just carries over to my blogging here….

    Captain

    You do realize, I suspect, that most other readers either don't believe most of your stories, or don't care whether the stories are true or not.

    This forum is operated by members of legal academia, and often strays into discussions about how far the law school enterprise has strayed from and lost interest in the profession for which it purports to prepare students.

    You come to this discussion with a bucket of bs, delivered in a faux vernacular. You reveal that this is a pretense quite often.

    This reader has often suspected that your faux persona is designed to humiliate and embarrass practitioners, so that those who criticize law faculties will look silly (i.e., who would support or show concern for these "practitioners"?).

    Again, I don't believe for a minute that you are who you purport to be ("a mediocre solo attorney"). I do believe, as stated previously, that you are a clever person, and that your efforts may prove successful.

    The longer Sy and his personas post the more sure I am that he is not a practicing attorney. I am one. No one sounds like that. Except someone putting on a role, badly. I don't get the point in making up characters and playing these games but maybe that's because I spend my time actually litigating and not goofing around on the internet.

    Now that these Militia morons surrendered today, consider my resume in play for the position. With that being said, I will address my legions of fans on this website. Yes, I am real attorney and not a highfalutin one at that. I am a humble servant pressing and asserting the Constitutional Rights of the citizen accused who steal panties, perfume and make up from Kohl's. I proudly represent the citizen participants of a pub crawl who start fighting (usually over a tatted up female) waiting for the next micro bus to whisk them off to their fifth bar of the night/morning. Or the citizen tourist carrying organic Colorado souvenirs in his motor car into my jurisdiction….There are many practitioners like me. It is a hoot to represent these folks. My practice is a witches brew of Night Court, Rumple of the Baily, Better Call Saul, and the Lincoln Lawyer (sans ethical issues). I generally practice in a court house that resembles the one in "And Justice For All," down to the hand written card board duck taped signs pasted all over even at the Bench.
