The coverage given to this psychopathic killer once again proves something we already know: the media's passion for the gross and the grotesque borders on insanity and closely resembles fetishism. The stupid media is turning this stupid psychopath into an icon and a martyr. And if they continue on this path, it won't be long before more weak minds try to emulate him just to get media coverage.

The American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment for the spring of 2006 covered 117 campuses. It showed that out of the 95,000 students surveyed, more than 9% had seriously considered suicide, and one in every 100 had attempted suicide within the previous year.


Considering that the gunman himself was a student who committed suicide, the media's continuous coverage of his actions doesn't make me feel very happy. The point has been aptly made at Professor Stephen Bainbridge's blog in "Reacting to Virginia Tech." If you want the pro-gun, no-gun, and campus-legal-policy approaches to the event, check out the JD2B blog archives at www.jd2b.com.

Getting back to normal, this week over at Peter Lattman's blog in the Wall Street Journal, there is a good piece on former Qwest CEO Joe Nacchio, who has been found guilty of insider trading.

More interesting to me, however, is the article on Chris Marston, founder and CEO of Exemplar Law Partners, posted on Leadership for Lawyers. Marston has started a law firm with a novel approach. His firm only bills flat fees and only hires entrepreneurial lawyers. It also begins building cross-functional teams as soon as matters are accepted.

Now, if you are a lawyer who litigates abroad, then don't miss "International Arbitrations: Dealing with Delay" at What About Clients? and don't forget to save Mel Simburg's article after checking out the link provided.

Returning to the topic of recurrent stupidity, since Don Imus got fired for his stupid comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team, Professor Stephen Bainbridge argues, Alec Baldwin deserves to be fired for calling his 11-year-old child a "rude, thoughtless little pig." Which shows how stupid Baldwin can be. Fathering a pig! Imagine that!
