Don't you get paid up front in bankruptcy law?

Well, I do know that the people coming into the office on Sunday were writing out checks and/or paying cash, so yes, they do get paid at least something up front.

Paulson’s “all your bailout are belong to me” proposal,

Aw, he really said that! Paul Krugman is totally my economic scholar woobie.

One of Corwood's High Hat co-editors posted an LJ entry that said, "I'm beginning to entertain the possibility that the entire 2008 presidential campaign is just an elaborate attempt to gaslight me." Which caused me to bark out loud at my desk with laughter, which caused me to have to read it out loud to my very young office-mate. Which then caused me to have to explain gaslighting, Gaslight and Hitchcock to her. ::headdesk::

Don't the debates tend to confirm whatever opinions you had going into them?

Well yeah, in general. But there have been some conservative commentators who originally supported her but have since changed their minds after seeing her interviewed. Some have recommended that she drop out.

Ah, I think we're talking apple and oranges -- I was hearing this about "you might not get paid" from the huge law firm that is the bankruptcy lawyer to other huge companies.

Hey, when McCain was a POW, he had to get all his ads for the WSJ in early, so it's just a habit for him....

Definitely a different situation, then! From what I've heard from my co-worker here at my full-time job, the one whose husband I'm working for at the law firm, it's been really swamped at all three of their offices for the past several months, and it's gotten even busier recently.

I would imagine it's pretty hopping over at the Marshals' and Sheriffs' offices too.

Oh... my.
