You have never seen an attorney's ad like this
unless you've already seen this ad. Evidently, this character really is a PA criminal defense attorney, but I find myself wondering if his commercial runs afoul of the state ethics code for attorneys. I don't know, just wondering. (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Omar
We recently saw the Oscar nominated Palestinian film, Omar. If you can find it playing in your area, I highly recommend checking it out. If not, definitely rent it when it becomes available for the small screen. The screenplay, the direction and the acting were all superb. The eponymous Omar is a Palestinian freedom fighter who is involved in the murder of an Israeli solider. The film is less about the Palestinian cause than it is a study in how...

AM Shots
Though 17F is much better than Monday morning's -2, it still doesn't feel like March. But we're supposed to see warmer weather later today and 40s are predicted tomorrow. Can't happen soon enough. (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Wednesday Various
I didn't know that Oscar Pistorius also stands accused of discharging a gun in a restaurant and shooting a hole through the sunroof of another girlfriend's car. At his murder trial, a [former?] friend testified that Pistorious asked him to accept the blame for the restaurant incident. Comcast is converting customer homes into WiFi hotspots. "The Court finds that there exists a right to privacy as it relates to the exposure and dissemination of the Defendant's genitalia." Thus wrote Miami-Dade... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

For Freak's Sake
Sometimes I can hardly believe what I'm reading in the news. I know there are far worse crimes than the crime described below, but the explosive violence over a problem that most people handle in a fairly civilized manner is nonetheless shocking to me. So a 30-year-old Chicago woman was picking up her child at an elementary school. Then: Castro, who is also known as Jay Lopez, rear-ended the woman's vehicle in the 4800 block of West Dickens Avenue, according... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Sunday AM
The snow piles are down, but we had a 4-5 inch refresher in our neighborhood overnight. That places us at 6 feet of snowfall this winter, still about 15 inches shy of the record, but combined with the cold weather, it's been one hell of a winter. Noon update, March 2. Ridiculous.

Power Out
A strange commute home today. Ordinarily, there is standing room only when I board the Red Line. Today, the train is nearly empty. When we reached Bryn Mawr, everything went dark. A stammering engineer announced that the power is shut down because someone is on the tracks at the Thorndale station up ahead. We're still waiting. (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)

Selectively Principled
Wilamette Week conducted an informal experiment with two bakeries that have refused to provide cakes for same-sex marriage celebrations: The first incident, in February, involved Gresham’s Sweet Cakes by Melissa, whose owner told a lesbian couple that “we don’t do same-sex marriages.” Earlier this month, Pam Regentin, who operates Fleur Cakes out of her home in the Hood River area, also refused to make a cake for a lesbian couple’s wedding. Both bakeries cited their religious beliefs as the reason... (Source: Dr. X's Free Associations)
