"Counting temporary and permanent jobs, only 45% had 'real legal jobs.'
Drop below the 'top 50,' and the percentages are almost certainly worse."
When salespeople (law school recruiters) lie to their customers about the value of their product, shouldn't the customers (students/parents) be able to sue based on fraud?

"As well as his birth certificate, the U.S. President has fought to keep his school records, employment records and medical records hidden.
'Why would anybody, let alone the president of the United States, spend millions of dollars in legal fees to keep that hidden?

"My fourth night at school, I went with some friends to Rugby Road, where the fraternity houses are located. They are built of the same Jeffersonian architecture as the rest of the campus.
At once august and moldering, they seemed sinister, to stand for male power at its most malevolent and institutionally condoned.
I remember standing there thinking I'd made a terrible mistake.
It wasn't worth it, I decided.
The next day I withdrew from the university."

He offers only defense by assertion.

Wisconsin School Employee Makes Threatening Phone Call to Business for Selling Gas to GOPer
Michelle Malkin » Wisconsin School Employee Makes Threatening Phone Call to Business for Selling Gas to GOPer
"A Sheboygan gas station owner is baffled after a mystery caller tells a clerk it’s a bad idea to do business with a Sheboygan-area state senator.
It started Tuesday when a woman called Dick Hiers’s Northeast Standard gas station after she thought she saw Senator Joe Leibham there. Her call was caught on the answering machine.
The answering machine here in the back of the store was left on from the night before and was recording the entire conversation.
Caller: “Can you verify that was Senator Leibham at the gas station this morning?”
Gas station clerk: “Senator Leibham?”
Caller: “Yes. Do you guys support him?”
Clerk: “I have nothing to say about that, I am not politically involved.”
Caller: “Alright, well you can tell Dick he’s not good for business, I’ll tell you that.”
Shocked over the 26-second conversation, Hiers quickly traced the call — only to get surprise number two.
“And it turned out to be coming from the Sheboygan area district school office,” he said."

About the Birth Certificate FrontPage Magazine
"The media has shown its usual incredulity at the indisputable stupidity of the American people.
How could so many people question President Obama’s birthplace?
How could they wonder about his origins?
Are they all simply racist?
The answer, of course, is that Americans are desperately seeking an answer to a simple question: why does President Obama appear to be so un-American?
The term un-American here is not synonymous with anti-American (though Obama has been that on occasion); instead, it merely signifies that President Obama is unconcerned with typical American principles and traditions.
He sees capitalism as selfish and evil, religion as dangerous and oppressive; he sees the Constitution as antiquated and entrepreneurialism as exploitative"
