The Jurists
“Art. III judicial meltdown,
It’s always the same.
Having a nervous breakdown,
It drives you insane.”
~ R. Plant, J. Page, D. Hull

MC5: Shakin’ Street (1970)
Little Orphan Annie and Sweet Sue too
They've been coming around
Gives 'em somethin' to do
Their mamas all warned 'em not to come to town
It got into their blood
Now they gonna get down
Shakin' street it's got that beat
Shakin' street where all the kids meet
Shakin' street it's got that sound
Shakin' street say you gotta get down
Streetlight Sammy decided to make the trip
All the way from New Jersey
On his girlfriend's tip
He pulled into town and met Skinny Leg Pete
Said come here, boy I heard about the streets
I heard about the place where all the kids go
Now, I'm about to flip
I just gotta know about
Shakin' street it's got that beat
Shakin' street where all the kids meet
Shakin' street it's got that sound
Shakin' street say you gotta get down
Well the kids on shakin' street never give in
'Cause all of their lives they've been livin' in sin
You know that they're bad, you know that they're mad
They take for the takin'
They shake for the shakin'
Shakin' Shakin' Shakin'
The folks keep complaining they find it so shockin'
All the kids wanna do is just keep on rockin'
They ain't got no time to think about stoppin'
They gotta get down and do a little stompin'
Now Sally Baker wants to shake her shaker
And Bobby C. says he's gonna take her to
Shakin' street it's got that beat
Shakin' street where all the kids meet
Shakin' street it's got that sound
Shakin' street say you gotta get down

What About Paris?
"What About Paris? is a blog about lawyering and doing business globally. Established in 2005 as What About Clients?, it features law firm client service posts based on a set of “12 Rules.” There are also odes to Parker Posey, Catherine Deneuve, Flaubert, Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, Hunter Thompson, and the federal rules of evidence. It is still daily, irreverent, funny, “edgy” and eclectic. It makes people mad. It has won several awards, including the American Bar Association’s 2007 Best Business Blog. That year it bested the law blogs of The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and several other mainstream business law sites. In 2005 we were ranked 80th in Carnegie Mellon's 100 Most Informative Blogs in the World."

Americans: Born Outlaws
Make no mistake. Americans are born outlaws. 2023? Year 234 of our current form of business. Still a very new nation. With work to do. Happy 4th, Campers.

July 3, 1863
July 3, 1863. Day 3 of Gettysburg. I had ancestors on both sides of the Civil War. Scores of them. I walked Pickett’s charge — 7000 casualties to CSA alone in less than an hour of fighting — through the old cornfield one cold autumn day alone 20 years ago. No one was around. No people. No vehicles. It’s still a long flat march with no natural cover. I had tears in my eyes when I reached the Angle.
