1) Tina Fey, as Liz Lemon on 30 Rock, wolfs down an entire Italian sandwich (clearly laden down with fatty meats and cheese and sauce) at a metal detector when the TSA won't let her take it through the airport rather than abandon it, chipmunking the entire last quarter of the sandwich.

2) Generic red-headed leggy model in a Wendy's ad, demonstrating its Chicken Go Wrap sandwich, can barely make herself nibble at the lettuce at the edge of the (250-calorie) sandwich in each of the two or three scenes where she's supposed to be demonstrating the ease of taking a bite while multi-tasking. Where have the Method actors gone?

I have an op-ed in today's New York Sun about the civil trial over the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

I'm quoted in City Journal on FDA litigation, and in the AARP Bulletin on Senate legislation to expand litigation over wage claims, though the latter's cribbed from my NPR blog post on the subject.

I never thought I'd be involved in a hot-coffee lawsuit, but Gamepolitics covers my intervention and objection to the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas class action settlement over the Hot Coffee Mod, which I predicted before the suit was even filed.

(Played GTA IV between 1 and 3 last night, and it was totally worth it.)

Britney Spears just hired the law firm that repped me in my divorce. Los Angeles divorce lawyers have a nice racket in that the local courts hold lots of open-call hearings that have no set schedule, and permit the attorneys to run up the clock by sitting around for literally hours waiting for the case to be called; a hearing can be docketed for 9 am and get heard five or six hours later. Permits all sorts of gamesmanship, especially when one spouse is responsible for both attorneys' expenses. (Thankfully, I had a post-nup where I bought my way out of that law, or the divorce would have been more of a financial disaster than it was.)

If my brother were bald (and didn't have a beard), he'd be the spitting image of Eli Lake, the New York Sun writer.
