Osler's Razor

Better Bork than Bjork. The beard sans 'stach creeps me out, though. Why bother?
 

Mr. Bork was briefly our in-house counsel at BearMeat in the late 1980s. However, his constant tirades against run away juries, excessive personal injury suits and the lack of meaningful tort reform prompted us to dismiss him for trumped up charges of defacing company property (he kept cutting out his own columns from our National Review magazines in the lobby of the 13th Floor of the ALICO). Ahh, Bork, his principles were only as strong as his options.
 

I hate almost all facial hair. I do not know why it just creeps me out.. I am with you, Mrs Cl. Bill grows a beard when he is mad at me. Its SOOOOO gross looking on him.

Well to continue with my previous post, Spencer and I just got back from the library. He is three and thus no matter how many times I asked him to use his "inside voice" etc he kept talking really loudly and all of this.. So this was our first and possibly last trip to the library but we had a lot of fun, got a lot of great books AND got dvd Finding Nemo!!!

But then, on the way home from the library, he purposely popped a mylar balloon that I bought that was NOT from the dollar store. it had Snoopy on it, it was expensive and me begged me to buy it for him yesterday. He popped it on purpose in the Wendy's drive thru line, while I was buying him his turkey sandwich kids meal, which he of course later fed to the dog. SO of course I told him that that was his last balloon until he turned four, and he is never going to get another balloon from the dollar store for a long time, nor will he be getting one from Red Robin anymore, because he does not know how to take care of his balloons, and any balloons he gets from now on I am going to take them over to Travis's house, because Travis knows how to take care of his balloons.

A few minutes later I wondered when, exactly, I had turned into my own mother.
 

I heard that Donut fills mylar balloons with his own farts, and then explodes them in the car. Is that true?
 

Before coming to Baylor, the Ave Maria Law School in Ann Arbor, Michigan made several attempts to persuade me to come to school there. Knowing that I am Mormon, the dean of the law school had the then top student of his class, who was also Mormon, contact me to get me up there. The student was incredibly nice and invited my wife and I to come stay at his home and check out the school. One of his selling points for Ave Maria was that Robert Bork, the "greatest legal mind of the 20th Century," taught there.

That's all I knew of Bork. Not enough to keep me from Baylor, I guess.
 

Ouch, he is an old guy, is he okay? Does anyone else imagine the ghost of Harvard alum and Torts professor Archibald Cox gloating over this one?

Maybe Prof Osler can challenge Bork to a yacht race and they can settle this like gentlemen. Osler can do that Mr. Howell "Yale" voice that he does.
 

Donut pulls the balloon fart thing in the car constantly. He is a horrible child.
 

Bork's lawsuit was enough to earn him a nomination for "Worst Person in the World" earlier this week on Countdown (MSNBC). He lost to Bill O'Reilly. Maybe if he wins his suit, he'll also win Worst Person in the World, too?
 

I certainly don't think Bork is "The Worst Person in the World," but.... who is? Hmmmm.
 

Donut beats Bork by a longshot.
 

Did you read the complaint? His lawyers are from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. I bet they don't file too many slip-and-fall lawsuits.
 

My question on this case is whether Bork tried to settle it first and if he got stiffed by the Yale Club's insurance company.

Most likely his attorneys are not working on a contingency fee basis
