I have tried in vain to find a web source for the original Mandamus petition filed back on April 23rd. The CPS response of May 8th was readily available as is the opinion released yesterday. Of course among the lawyers who cried is Julie Balovich who is among the counsels listed on the petition and who, I thought, did an excellent job answering reporters questions at the court house in San Angelo yesterday.
How do you make a lawyer cry?
Open a blog post with a comma splice.
Naw, Michael, that how you make an Arkansas grammar snob cry!
Sooooweeee!
There, I gave you a semicolon! Just for you, Michael! I know Arkansans are notorious sticklers for grammar.
Arkansas grammar snob cry!
Now there's a non-sequitur, if I ever saw one.
Isn't it, though? It was a fun phrase to write.
Sooooweeee Hogs!
