Two days ago, I was talking to my best friend, who is in the midst of her 3L first-semester finals. She was complaining about how she had three finals, back to back to back. She said, "I must be the unluckiest person ever." At the time, I nodded my head sympathetically in agreement. Now, after scoping out this week's legal blogs, I will have to retract my sympathy. There are at least two people who are definitely in worse shape than she is. On How Appealing, I learned about this poor guy who got pulled over for driving too slowly; is that even possible? Now, he may or may not have been drunk, but still...there's just no winning with cops.

However, the unluckiest person ever (or at least of the last decade) has to be the woman I read about on The Volokh Conspiracy. She is the person who was injured by a 60-foot renegade Cat in the Hat balloon at the Macy's parade a few years ago. (Now there's a sentence I never thought I would write). Then, this year, her apartment was the unfortunate site of Yankees pitcher Corey Lidle's tragic plane crash. In my opinion, she takes the cake.


I also read quite a few posts this week on the difficulties that bloggers face. Now, for Americans, blogging is just a fun way to complain and (for exceptionally productive members of society) share information. But I forget that in other places, sharing your opinions can be cause for a prison sentence. FutureLawyer highlights the fact that several bloggers in Iran and China have been imprisoned for expressing their views on the Internet. With the amount of smack U.S. bloggers throw out about politicians, the government, corporate America, and society, I can't even imagine how many would end up in jail if it wasn't for the First Amendment. So, in case any of you needed it, there's one reason you should be proud to be an American.

And that's all I've got. I must say, now that I've unloaded all my negativity onto you guys, I feel much better. I don't think I've got anything left to say...well, at least not until next week. Check in then for the next installment!
