    I’ve spent so long sifting through research papers that I had to stop myself and double check that the link was really free to download.

    I hope you’ll keep us updated as to the responses to your article as they manifest (if only in links to your other blog).

  4. FLRealist says:

    You might want to get your actor’s name right if you want to keep him – it’s Pattinson.

  5. Informant says:

    It’s very strange, but I am somehow completely unable to find Kristen Stewart attractive. I mean she’s young but not too young, slender but not anorexic looking, and has long hair, which should all be things that weigh in favor her being “attractive.” Yet even in what are supposed to sultry poses (like this picture), she radiates all the warmth and sexiness of a half-thawed coho salmon.

    • Lee says:

      I don’t know about the long hair part, generally I find women with short hair, especially if its in a slightly boyish cut, more attractive than long hair.

    • Dana says:

      She’s not my type, but I still think she’s so much better looking than Pattinson that they’re an odd match. Which may help explain recent tabloid headlines…

  6. MAJeff says:

    Will Pattinson even want to co-star with Stewart after she cheated on him?

    • Sherm says:

      I hope she didn’t fall again for some guy who claimed to have jammed with Lou Reed. What was that song again, Shine your Light On Love?

  7. Dr.Doom says:

    If the cost of becoming a lawyer continues to rise while the economic advantage conferred by a law degree continues to fall then eventually both the market for new lawyers and for admission to law school will crash.

    It’s called “right sizing”, Paul. The market works.

    • Malaclypse says:

      Shorter Jennie: I don’t understand why Paul keeps calling a bubble a bubble.

    • Cody says:

      Much like Bush economy “right-sized”. I don’t see why we wouldn’t want to go through something like that! Who would’ve wanted to know before hand?

    • Sherm says:

      Yeah, the free market always works so wonderfully, especially when unencumbered by regulation and boosted by fraudulent lending practices. See, e.g., the real estate market.

      I have to give you right-wingers credit for your consistent refusal to permit the evidence to interfere with your theories.

      • Professor Know-It-All says:

        We’ll meet again,
        Don’t know where,don’t know when.
        But I know we’ll meet again, some sunny day.

        • Sherm says:

          As an attorney, I’d be very happy to have my competition limited.

          However, the “free market” is not the reason we might have too many lawyers. Its a depressed economy coupled with easy lending practices which encourages kids to borrow money to get degrees that they would otherwise not have obtained

        • Malaclypse says:

          Jennie, you mixed up your sock puppets again.

          Please be a better troll. Show some effort.

    Law School Dean: I hear you’re thinking about what to do neckt in your life after you graduate. Why not bring yourself and your loan money to our school? We’ll wave certain fees.

    Special Snowflake: Yeah, I was kinda thinkin’ about getting like an MBA or something at this other school…

    LSD: Bah! Werewolves! Come under my wing, and I’ll teach you something no one else can — how to Sparkle!

    SS: You’re so hawt!

    LSD: I love you.
