The old joke, or one variation of it, goes something like this:
Question: What do you call a bus full of lawyers sinking to the bottom of the ocean?
Answer: A good start.
Tomorrow, for the second time in my life, I'll seek legal representation. The first time I needed a lawyer was to process the government paperwork to complete an overseas adoption. Tomorrow I'll be trying to get a will probated. I'm not looking forward to the hassle and expense I expect that will involve.
At any rate, for at least the next 48 hours I'll probably be using my favorite 12-letter obscenity a lot. Even if I'm reasonably happy with the lawyer who handles the probate, that bunch of conservative assholes on the U.S. Supreme Court will keep me pissed off. As far as I'm concerned, America can never be truly great as long as Scalia and Clarence Thomas are serving as justices.
