I've actually done some of these, so they're not off too badly. In fact, I think I could do any of them. I should save this list.

HAY GUYS REMEMBER ACADEMIC FREEDOM?

UCI UNHIRES LIBERAL LAW SCHOOL DEAN

The Chancellor thought the Regents would block it, so he said, and that the fight would somehow tarnish the new law school. Chancellor Drake, that's your job. You are supposed to argue with the Regents on behalf of UCI. What is it, exactly, that you DO here?

Also, UCI is not Orange County University. It is an internationally known research institution and member of a statewide University. It doesn't have to have a major in John Wayne or a Disneyland Institute. And don't let Donald Bren tell you what to do because he gave you $20 million and you named the law school after him. What's he gonna do, take it back?

Don't worry, Mr. Chemerinsky. We'll visit you on Sakhalin Island.

Bonus points: Chapman says they'll hire him in an instant. And not just Chapman, but the Chapman legal dean, who's a rightwinger and debates Chereminsky weekly on the radio. Oddly enough he'd very much enjoy having his debate opponent working in his office. Viva Chapman!

My check card got owned

Noticed it by accident. There was a 1 cent charge to the amusingly named colon700.com

I called them up and they were freaking. Said they had thousands of 1 cent charges from god knows where and everyone was calling them. They promised to call me back. They didn't sound like they were talking through their colons.

Called the bank and shut down the card before the damned Russians bought ingots, heffalumps etc with my money.

You might want to check your accounts, folks, because this one looks like a big "surge" of fraud. I bet they broke into some e-commerce outfit.

My life would be so much easier if everything could be tab-completed.
