But It Says So In A Journal

This has already made its way around the internet, but just landed on my screen courtesy of Dave Hoffman at Co-Op.  Given how much we lawyers just adore science, and view it with awe and wonderment, relying on it as irrefutable proof of fact and convinced beyond a doubt, reasonable or otherwise, that if it’s in a journal, it must be so, it’s critical that we understand the sausage-making process.

Sit back.  Grab a full bottle of Patron Gold and bowl of guacamole on this Labor Day weekend, and relish in the fact that we, criminal defense lawyers, aren’t the only miserable people in the world who feel as if we’re trying to stop the tide from coming in.  Feel the warm glow, from the Patron if nothing else, envelope you.  And have someone you love notice the wry smile on your face as you reach point 104, which reads in reaction to the demand that length be shortened, “Declare ‘death to all commas’ a worthless piece of unnecessary punctuation if ever there was one.”

Enjoy.

    I love this post.  I’ve read through it twice, and still love it.  Unfortunately, it’s only my fifth most read post this week.  I wish everyone would read this.  I mean, we need the laugh if nothing else.
