Insurance is fun



DC Blogs Noted:

Not all law is boring
Insurance Defense Blog

Work your way through the categories on the left of the home page, but also read the April 2nd post about a
Washington Lawyer article on blogging.

There is also an older post, from Feb. 22, that includes
legal
nuggets
penned by David Boies, the antitrust attorney, that I enjoyed. Boies picks his words carefully, always using the simplest and most direct, to build his argument. The excerpts assembled by Dave Stratton, the defense blog writer, are a joy to read.

For instance:



A witness who fights battles he or she cannot win, and who is consequently embarrassed, will often end up giving up more than is necessary.

Light rail, not light discussion
Live from the third rail

At some point, most cities had efficient trolley systems. Thanks to lobbying by the big auto makers, the systems were scrapped in the 1930s and 40s in favor of buses. DC is considering a light rail system, the modern version of the trolley. Third rail writes:



Transportation department officials say the light rail would be intended to transport residents within the ward, rather than to other parts of the city. (Considering the abysmal average speeds of street-based light rail, that's all it would be good for anyway.)

A Little Rebellion Now
DC for Democracy

It's free:


In her award-winning play, A Little Rebellion Now, Lisa Voss explores the possibility of secession and dramatizes the clash of our country’s revolutionary political imagination with the realities of its current government. When D.C. statehood activists form an uneasy alliance with IMF-World Bank protestors to attempt to secede from the Union, they are branded as “terrorists” and soon find themselves confronting armed U.S. soldiers.

Join Lisa for a free reading of her play on Saturday, May 14, at 1 pm. And enjoy the irony of the capital leaving the nation where the citizens of the capital can’t vote.
