These days it takes more than hard work to get ahead. It takes luck, a willingness to take a chance, or someone has cut you a break.
Most jobs that don't require a college degree also don't pay enough for a person to go to college. Heck, you're lucky if you can make enough to get by without a second job.
@Mike So by re-writing his story, John is attempting to use a Jedi Mind Trick ("This is not the controversy you are looking for. You can go now. Move along."). Is that your interpretation of this event?
It seems unlikely that they would post such a empty affidavit with a forged signature. If they were in the mood to forge her signature I would expect this affidavit to line up more closely with the realtor's affidavit (i.e. "Cooper's a crazy man off his meds, and yes I did text him but I never said anything about his signature being forged," yada yada yada).
As a student of history I can say with confidence that never have I come across a better example of ironic justice than what Jester John is facing now. He who sneered at the legal skills of pro-se defendants has himself been advised to seek assistance from the 9th circuit's pro-se clinic. He who coerced, blackmailed and intimidated thousands into settling their cases, will soon be forced to settle his own cases.

Getting back to TAC's telethon:
If you have been following me on Twitter (@simality) for the past two months then you know I've been pretty diligent in my recapping efforts.
Even if you haven't been following me on Twitter, you've probably benefitted none the less. A number of the documents mentioned in Tech Dirt and Ars Technica were recapped by yours truly.
I can't keep this up. I don't mind helping, but I'm not going to bankrupt myself for the Cause. If you would like to help me keep going please consider sending a donation to simality@gmail.com.
Thanks,

Re: How Holt will handle the oral arguments since he's in prison.
And if finds one willing to re-argue his original case, that's a nice bonus.
Well played, Mr. Holt.

Re: From the "Damn if he doesn't have a point" department
Correction: pg 25.
From the "Damn if he doesn't have a point department"
His strongest point can be found on page 23:
"A 1/2 inch beard would not be a security threat when inmates are allowed to grow large afros and thick head hair."
Nope can't disagree there.
On an unrelated note:
What did this guy do to be sentenced to Super-max?

Re: He's not at the bottom yet!
He's not attempted to invoke Godwin's law either....
John Steele == Chell?
Perhaps Steele thinks that if he gets deep enough into the corner a portal will open up behind him and he will be able to escape.

Re: Flight risk?/Betting Pool
I'm genuinely surprised that they haven't do so already.
