Bill Clinton’s Law Review Article has hit the streets….

Paul Greenberg comments on Bill Clinton’s law review article (actually, seems like a speech reprinted as an essay), Progress and Paradox: The Realities of Globalization in the Twenty-First Century, 55 Ark. L. Rev. 235 (2002)   Paul writes:

How many other lawyers barred from practicing for five years in their home state — and also stripped of their license to argue before the Supreme Court of the United States — have been invited to adorn a law journal? It’s the equivalent of a Mafia don writing the lead article in some law enforcement journal.

I’m torn…  Natalie is a hot chick 😉

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
You don’t seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don’t know him anymore
There’s nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That’s what’s going on
Nothing’s fine I’m torn

I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I’m wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late
I’m already torn

So I guess the fortune teller’s right
Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
Which crawled beneath my veins
And now I don’t care
I had no luck
I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things
That I can touch I’m torn

I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I’m wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late
I’m already torn
Torn

There’s nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That’s what’s going on
Nothing’s right I’m torn

I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I’m wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn

I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I’m ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You’re a little late
I’m already torn
Torn..

Just saw Minority Report.  A fantastic Sci-Fi movie.  I need to read Phillip Dick’s short story about this, it’s gotta be good.

mod_log_mysql and PHP make for Instant Insight. Getting apache to log to MySQL is quite easy. One your data is in a more accessible format, there’s no limit to the questions you can answer. [Jeremy Zawodny’s blog]

Southside….

see myself in the pouring home
see the light come over now
i see myself in the pouring rain
i watch hope come over me

here we are now, going to the east side
i pick up my friends and we start to ride
ride all night, we ride all day
some may come and some may stay

here we are in the pouring home
i watch the light man fall the comb
i watch a light move across the screen
i watch the light come over me

here we are now going to the west side
weapons in hand as we go for a ride
some may come and some may stay
watching out for a sunny day where there’s

love and darkness and my sidearm
hey, elan..elan…

here we are now going to the north side
i look at my friends as they start to ride
ride at night yeah we ride all day
looking out for a sunny day

here we are now going to the south side
i pick up my friends and we hope we won’t die
ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
come back and feel so well
