Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: A doctor, a lawyer, an old priest, and a small boy are in a plane with a pilot and four parachutes. As they fly, they hit a lot of turbulence, all of a sudden, the pilot comes bombing up from the cockpit, yelling about how the engine was blown out. He grab ....


Comment preview: Partly? I've not met a lawyer yet that was not motivated by greed and as tight as a duck's ass when it comes to spending on their support staff. I used to do IT repair for local businesses, and lawyers/solicitors were taken off my list of people I would wo ....


Comment preview: "Every lawyer worth their salt comes out of law school as an idealist. Someone has said that lawyers are humanists who fight. Young lawyers believe. They think they can make a difference. They want to make a difference. To use the lance of the law to pie ....


Comment preview: GUYS. THIS IS THE BEST STORY EVER. Let me tell you all about it. So the lawyer for this case, right? He's a pretty bigtime defense lawyer in Orange County. Has taken high profile cases before. This is one of them, of course. Another was Greg Haidl, so ....


Comment preview: sometimes I think that TRP is too tech-industry centric. As a counter example to the OP, consider the legal profession. In the legal profession, you're really not allowed to fail. That is, your clients don't pay you to fail; that's why lawyers are so ri ....


Comment preview: a close friend of mine worked in Sony music UK in a very senior position. They would often (this behaviour went back a few years) be given a CD or USB stick of the latest and greatest music video and told to upload it using to youtube and other media websi ....


Comment preview: Both these characters have their flaws. I think Chuck's flaw is his pride, as others have mentioned. I like Jimmy, even if he is a criminal on some level (as Mike's story in this episode explains, there are "good" criminals, just as there are corrupt cop ....


Comment preview: > Are judges sympathetic to angry hurt people? What if he's been setting me up this whole time, like you said. It's entirely possible, especially based on his recent demeanor. *You* say nothing in court. Your pitbull Nazgul lawyer knows exactly what to ....


Comment preview: Because you were small fry. They'd rather collect their ridiculous $100+ an hour charge and defend you than rat you out for something that literally, not even the DEA cares about. Every time a dealer is caught they always ask, "Who'd you get this from", ho ....


Comment preview: The Kardashians are a line of men, one of the great noble houses of the now-shattered Kingdom of K rd, a far country of hills and woodlands lying beyond the inland sea of Rh n. Foremost among the Kardashian family are the three sisters: Kim of Kardashian, ....


Comment preview: He wasn't an insult comic. Don't taint his legacy by pigeonholing him as that. He was one of the better, and most intelligent comics out there. Edit: I feel like I have to add to this. Greg was not only an amazing comic, but he was also one of the most res ....


Comment preview: If this is a public university you certainly have recourse through your Governor's constituent services office. If it is a private university I would take it up with the Chancellor's office and the Board of Directors. You can not allow your brother to star ....


Comment preview: > I'm too sad he will become eventually Saul Goodman See I don't know if I am, because this show can easily change the perception of who Saul Goodman really was. Part of me suspects the unseen moments for Saul in BB were him using the underworld connect ....


Comment preview: I had the same thing happen to me about 14 years ago. Was kind of dating someone, nothing too serious, got offered a job in Oregon, but was soon told she was pregnant. Long story short, I lawyered and manned up. Got married, divorced 5 years later and have ....


Comment preview: If you based graduation rates on funding, colleges would target the groups that have the highest graduate rates. The greatest determining factor of academic success is social class. Controlling for all other factors -- sex, race, region, etc. -- rich kids ....


Comment preview: You will be your daughters hero someday. My folks got divorced when I was 6, and due to how insane my mother was, we were brainwashed into thinking my father was evil. Eventually he moved across the state to our town, lawyered up, and finally got custody ....


Comment preview: Someone has watched "Inherit the Wind" too huh? Awesome! Just an FYI, "Inherit the Wind" was a film released in 1960 based on the Scopes "Monkey" Trial in 1925 that revolved around a school teacher that taught his class evolution and was brought up on crim ....


Comment preview: I am a lawyer, and you are correct. The comment stating that they have the ability to enter a house without a warrant is incorrect. Probable cause would only allow them to search the home if they had seen someone with a weapon. What the cop was saying in t ....


Comment preview: To every med student in here, take a deep breath, then go reread your personal statement from when you first applied. Feel better? If you need an inspiring medical story read this http://www.agraphia.net/the-moment-ive-been-training-for/ If you think a re ....


Comment preview: Oh kingvitamin, you have tapped into the artererial vein of my anger. I'm giving you an upvote and adding: there is a huge racial component to the drug war, as well. 3 grams of crack cocaine lands you in a whole lot more trouble than 3 grams of cocaine. Cr ....


Comment preview: I never liked my father. I always said I would never treat my kids like he treated me. I always said "I will never be like my father." I often expressed that it was my greatest fear in life to end up like him. I also said similar things about my stepfather ....


Comment preview: This is a huge issue in american politics. Some of our best and worst presidents' elections and legacies have been affected by their likability. Obama/W.Bush/Clinton/Reagan/JFK were all largely elected because of their "every man-ness" when viewed as such ....


Comment preview: **Chen** would be jobless drunk hobo. **Nazeebo** would be doing choirs in music industry. "Braaaaaaaaaaaaah!" **Leoric** really looks to me like CEO on some big corporation. " All shall suffer! Sell all shares of Zakarum Inc. screw them!" - Actually all o ....


Comment preview: This was the most ho hum episode of them all - kind of anticlimactic after such a long wait. SK concludes that Gutierrez did not deliberately throw the case - which was unsurprising. (oh man, as soon as it finished a massive thunderclap and lightning lit u ....


Comment preview: Gotta agree 100%. Bill came in early in the 13 sessions incredibly out of shape, with post-it notes all over his kit. He could not keep time. I love Bill Ward so much. I think his radio show is great. I think he's a top 5 all time drummer. Black Sabbath is ....
