You want to let me eat your muffin

Another student asked me once how I manage to keep up a blog. The answer is that sometimes I just don't do my work. They also seem to have been under the impression that it takes me a lot of time to write these posts. It doesn't. I can bitch at a moment's notice. It's a talent I have. I don't question it; it's like the old saying goes: don't look a gift horse in the ass. Or something like that.

Lately it seems I have so much to do all I can seem to get done is playing computer games. This is not going to help come finals or during the trial competition but what do you want? I'm only human, and humans will get to the point where the pile of shit is so big they just decide to live with it. Take the Bush administration, for instance. These fuckers have shoveled so much shit it seems a lot of Americans have mistaken the pile for a mountain and planted a flag on top. For the record, I have tried waving a flag at my pile of shit and guess what? It didn't make that pile go away or smell any better, either.

I have recently (I am slow.) developed an appreciation for Star Wars movies and it occurs to me that this administration, the Siths, know Jedi mind tricks. You know the ones; the Jedi says "you want to let me eat your muffin" and the other guy says "I want to let you eat my muffin!" This is the only explanation I can find. See how it works: "We need to take away your civil liberties!" "You need to take my civil liberties!" "We can throw people in jail and let them rot for years without even seeing a lawyer! "You can throw people in jail and let them rot.. ." well, you get the picture. Now, where are the Jedis to fight off the Siths? In jail being held as enemy combatants of course, duh! Doesn't it all fit nicely? This is my theory. Don't question it, it's America and we don't question shit anymore.

Oh crap - who is knocking on my door? Oh no, it's the secret service!! What? No, I'm not an enemy combatant! What? Yes I am, you say? Why? You're rounding up all the law students before we figure out how to get Bush impeached? But I don't even do my work! Look at me, I'm updating my blog when I have two papers coming due! I'm no law student! Uh...uh... you want to let me eat your muffin! You want to let me eat your muffin! Sigh...I hope the weather in Cuba is nice this time of year . . . I wonder if they have muffins?
