Just in time for Thanksgiving Day.....
SEDGEFIELD, England, Nov 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush said on Friday Turkey was now a battleground in the war on global terrorism and offered U.S. help following a wave of suicide bombings in Istanbul.
"Terrorists have decided to use Turkey as a front," Bush told reporters as he toured a sports school during a trip to British Prime Minister Tony Blair's home district, his last stop on a state visit to England.
Next week's headline: Bush gets speech mixed up with Whitehouse dinner menu

My dreams mock me...
No, this dream isn't about the future, but it's just as weird.
I dreamt i was reciting the precise definition of profit-a-prendre. It's some legal term.
I had no recollection of ever learning this term, but i suppose at one point i must have read it, since when i woke up i was curious and looked up "profit-a-prendre" and found that the definition was precisely what i had recited in my dream!
I found this out right when i woke up. As i went on with my day i found that i could no longer remember even how to spell profit-a-prendre....this leads me to believe that subconsciously, i know much more than i do when i am awake. this is kind of disturbing.
why can't i remember these things when i need to? is it the stress? is the large cold sore on my chin sapping me of my legal knowledge? why IS there a cold sore on my chin? will it spread? is it contagious? eek!
i am degenerating into a festering sore, devoid of all knowledge of legal terminology.

I especially love that the prosecutor's name is Popov....
Man Dies After Winning Vodka-Drinking Contest
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A vodka-drinking competition in a southern Russian town ended in tragedy with the winner dead and several runners-up in intensive care.
"The competition lasted 30, perhaps 40 minutes and the winner downed three half-liter bottles. He was taken home by taxi but died within 20 minutes," said Roman Popov, a prosecutor pursuing the case in the town of Volgodonsk.
"Five contestants ended up in intensive care. Those not in hospital turned up the next day, ostensibly for another drink."
Popov said the director of the shop organizing this month's contest had been charged with manslaughter. He had offered 10 liters of vodka to the competitor drinking the most in the shortest time.
Russians drink the equivalent of 15 liters of pure alcohol per head annually, one of the highest rates in the world. Some experts estimate one in seven Russians is an alcoholic.

Some of the demands Bush's security detail made for his recent visit to England:
In the name of Bush's safety, the Secret Service requested that the London Underground, the provider of transportation to millions daily, be closed down. American snipers and special agents traveling with Bush were to be given diplomatic immunity in the event that they should kill any of the expected 100,000 protesters. An artillery weapon called the "mini gun," normally used in battlefield conditions, was to be flown in in case it was deemed necessary to mow down protesters en masse. Vast sections of the city were to be closed to all traffic, forcing the closure of untold hundreds of businesses. Americans were to be placed in charge of all security operations, ahead of the British Scotland Yard, the MI5, the Metropolitan police, and Blair's own security detail. And U.S. fighter jets and Blackhawk attack helicopters, armed with surface-to-ground missiles and high-powered machine guns, were to secure the skies over London. All of this in addition to flying in not only Bush's own presidential limousine, but in fact his own motorcade. No foreign cars for our President – only a custom-imported procession of Humvees would do.

What health insurance?
I am one of 43.6 million Americans who do not have health insurance. I cannot possibly afford it, given my paltry student loans, and my previous employer's COBRA would cost me $350 a month (my CAR PAYMENT is $344 a month).
18,000 Americans will die prematurely this year due to lack of healthcare.
The United States is the only industrialized country without some form of universal healthcare for its citizens.
Most of the 43 million are working adults. 12 million of them have children.
Congress just passed an $87 BILLION package for the continued occupation of Iran and Afghanistan. That's enough to pay every single uninsured American $2023.25.
Sometimes I wish I lived in France.

Summer Dreams
It's not even winter, and I'm already dreaming of summer...
This summer looks very prominsing indeed. I will be studying abroad, but where oh where should I go? Here are my options:
1. Summer At Sea with Pitt Law: A 2-month cruise on a ship-turned-classroom. Ports of call: Vancouver, Canada ·Sitka, US (Alaska) ·Vladivoskok, Russia · Pusan, Korea ·Shanghai, P.R.C. ·Haiphong (Hanoi), Vietnam ·Keelung, Taiwan · Osaka, Japan · Seattle, US. Price: $6,000.00, includes cruise, classes, 6 units of law school credit, and food. Considering that my school charges $1000 a unit, this program costs exactly the same as if I were to sit on my ass in San Diego and take boring summer school. Factoring in transportation and spending money, this trip will probably cost $10,000.
2. Santa Clara Law Study Abroad in Hong Kong: Another 2 month program. This one offers one month of law study in Hong Kong and a one month internship in an HK or Singapore firm. 7 units of credit. Will cost around $10,000 also. The advantage of this program is that I'll be able to spend more time in one place, and get practical work experience. Also, if I go to HK, I plan on taking time before or after to tour Asia, so I'll still end up seeing different cities.
3. If all else fails, I can always go with my school to Florence and Dublin. 2 months, 9-12 units, counts toward my GPA, but costs $16,000.
Choices, choices....
