After much debate, I've finally decided to enter the blogophere. I figured that everyone else in the world seems to offering their opinions on the important, mundane and somewhat interesting events of their lives, so why not join them?
To give you a little background, I am a lawyer by trade (but don't hold that against me) trying to make ends meet while attempting to understand my wife and (soon to be) 4-year old daughter. On any given day, I fail miserably at both. Luckily, I'm pretty good at my job and enjoy what I do. I'm conservative - you'll figure that out pretty quickly - but I have a very low tolerance for idiocy, no matter where it is found. Which leads to how I decided on the title to this blog. Years ago, back when my only responsibilities in life were waking up in time to make it to all my classes, I came up with The Idiot Rule when hearing about a decision in a lawsuit (it may have been the Stella Liebeck/McDonald's coffee case, but I'm not sure), and it goes something like this: If you do something and 90% of the people in the world respond by saying "What an idiot!" you have no legal cause of action, you cannot complain and you're lucky you're not jailed for extreme stupidity. I think its a brilliant rule -- so brilliant it should be a law. But then, I'm biased.
So anyway, if you actually take the time to read the blog, I hope you find it equally interesting, thought provoking, annoying and whimsical. I'll try not to get too over the top with my comments but if I do, well, too bad. I'll be exploring everyday life, politics, pop culture and pretty much anything that riles me up enough to write about. Please leave comments, as I love a good debate (my wife says I argue for the sake of arguing, but I totally dispute that assessment). Hope you enjoy.
