First off, the biggest ass-kissing media refers to Michelle Obama as a 'distinguished attorney" despite the fact that Michelle Obama has been"inactive" since 1993.

In a calmer time, Bell could have been a good president. But as far as age and health, he might have been past his prime by 1860. I've read some from contemporary Tennessee histories of the period, and during the Tennessee secession crisis Bell proved indecisive and vacillating. Had he won the 1860 election he might have continued the Buchanan policy of limbo and chaos.
Probably not, looks like it only applies to federal agencies. Good thought, though.
How is it possible to vilify slavery and slave holders to an obscene degree? I happen to think it would have been cool if the slaves had had some guns with which to win freedom by force!
“How is it possible to vilify slavery and slave holders to an obscene degree?”
You forget that slavery was LEGAL, and that the federal government accepted it (though it did not want an expansion of it). The federal government and the vast, vast majority of the American citizenry were pretty much neutral and ambivalent about “the curious institution.”
I hate slavery, but it is easy for me in this time and place to take such a position, where in the past (i.e., throughout history) not only was slavery legal (pretty much throughout the world), but was actively practiced and encouraged. Human sacrifice is an abomination, but there was a time when it was the “in thing” to do (read the Bible, for instance), and no one batted an eye about it. There was a time when abortion was considered so heinous an act as to be beyond the pale (and I am one who is opposed to abortion), yet now it is so common and widely practiced that it’s almost become a yawner. Things need to be looked at from the viewpoint of the time and of the participants of that time in order to put things into perspective. Some things changed for the better (the end of slavery and the cessation of humnan sacrifice, for example), and some for the worse (abortion, for example).
Well who would no more about limp wrists and failure than you?
Her and Barry only got into law school because of Affirmative Action. When I went to Syracuse, the Affirmative Action cases were so obvious. They just werent qualified, but they took a seat away from someone who was. Im sure Michelle and Hussein were no different.

Same goes for academics. I know a few A.A. professors and their teaching standards are absolutely dreadful. Students don’t rate them highly.
Is there a legal difference (even if just a technicality) between what is ethically required of a licensed attorney vs unlicensed attorney.
I am wondering if it is a way of skirting certain requirements and/or ethical responsibilities for someone involved in machine politics.
I dunno, I think she would look really good in Orange.
The reason that a lot of the kids take the ethnic studies classes is because they can’t get good enough grades in regular classes to get into grad schools. So, the counselors push them into the ethnic studies classes and keep their fingers crosses that they can at least get a decent grade on the entrance exams. Entrance to grad schools for ethnic studies majors is not really based on grades and test scores anyway. It is now based on their essay, which much show how they overcame some hardship.
That other Chicagoans or citizens of Cook County let Obama into the WH without warning the rest of the nation is a travesty. I wasn't one of them, but the BDS was in full force and McCain was a loser to start with.
