[Overpaid Slacker]

You know I read a lot and I've never been more impressed w/ any author than I have been w/ Scalia. Frankly, it's the topics at issue that bore me many times. I enjoy his incisive mind and his ability to cut right to the heart of an issue and explain it very vividly -- but what he's writing about doesn't always keep my interest.

He's not perfect, certainly, but nobody is. I still stand by my statement that he's the most gifted SC justice of our time. I don't mean this to derogate any one person in particular, but unless you've studied Con Law and read a variety of justices' opinions, you really can't make informed statements about Scalia or the court if they're just based on other hacks' opinions.

Sorry about last night -- I was out all night Tuesday w/ my brother (I mean ALL night -- took the 7:39am back to Sayville, not having slept, and went to work) and our 10-K is due this coming Tues.

I'm off to our firm party (which is a bash!) and then up to the Catskills for some quality quadding for the w/e. Just gotta push "send" on this email to the financial printer and I'm outta here.
