Radical lawyer, William Kunstler

There are many people I find inspiring, and William Kunstler is one of them. He was a controversial lawyer who represented a wide-range of clients, including the American Indian Movement and John Gotti.

His daughters produced a documentary about his life as a lawyer and a father. Here's the trailer:

Happy Birthday Chris Carter!

Found this on the interscapes... the sound is sometimes off from the video but it's still funny:

So many clips from TDS are worth sharing but this one was the best from last week:

I thought this series of ads was cool. I saw one for the first time this week. There are different versions... here's one:


And, an extended preview for the documentary on the National Parks by Ken Burns. One of my dream jobs would be to practice natural resources law focusing on the protection of our National Parks!

Love this snarky shit

I've been watching "At the Movies" since I was a kid, and I'm not exaggerating. From it's days as Siskel and Ebert, to Ebert and Roeper (after Siskel died), to Roeper with different guest critics after Ebert became too ill. The show was great and I looked forward to it each week.

I can't tell you how PISSED I was when ABC decided to tart up the show by revamping it into utter nonsense.

Well, ABC has heeded the call of lots of angry fans and shit-canned the two imbeciles. Two awesome and totally-worth-watching critics A.O. Scott of the NYT and Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune will now host the show. The first episode of the new and improved "At the Movies" will air on 9/5/09.... Yay!

Capitalism: A Love Story

When capitalism is stronger than democracy, what happens to society?

Awesome, awesome, awesome

But this movie is so good. I need to see it again.

True Blood

Delicious. I love this show already.

One of the characters said "you're dumber than a box of hair!" - They had to hear that one from Suzie!!

Some more light reading

... regarding the torture debate: here is an essay written by a former military interrogator who worked at Guantanamo. He offers some strong counter-arguments to Cheney's support of torture.
A snippet:

... the former vice president never mentioned the Senate testimony of Ali Soufan, the FBI interrogator who successfully interrogated Abu Zubaydah and learned the identity of Jose Padilla, the dirty bomber, and the fact that Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (KSM) was the mastermind behind 9/11. We'll never know what more we could have discovered from Abu Zubaydah had not CIA contractors taken over the interrogations and used waterboarding and other harsh techniques. Also, glaringly absent from the former vice president's speech was any mention of the fact that the former administration never brought Osama bin Laden to justice and that our best chance to locate him would have been through KSM or Abu Zubaydah had they not been waterboarded.

Say what you will, the man is inspiring

You know, President Obama is not perfect and I didn't expect him to be. He's got a job no one in their right mind would want. He seems to be carrying forward a lot of Bush-like policies. Time can only tell how things progress in our country.

Nevertheless, he is an amazing speaker. He is masterful in his ability to turn a faux-controversy into a call to action. Enjoy.
