I thought this editorial, by a nearly convicted murderer, does a good job of reminding us how we sometimes look:

Editorial on Boring Trial

John,
You stole my thunder! I saved that op-ed last week to incorporate into my Demonstrative Evidence powerpoint. It's a classic. Hope it doesn't spawn some new 8th Amendment claims...

Sadly, try as I might, I couldn't figure out a way to weave into my powerpoint the week's top story about the Olsen triplet recently discovered living in a filthy basement.....

As bored as that guy was, imagine if he had to sit through a civil trial. Nothing like listening to hours of a law clerk reading a deposition to give you thoughts of suicide.

Apparently, there is more than one person bored with trials. Check out this description of how boring it is to watch An Impeachment Trial.

And, be careful to avoid the tricky Boredom Defense.

And this writer has perhaps the most creative solution to avoiding yet another long, boring trial: Deport the Sniper.

John, have we gotten to the point that you have to answer your own posts? Four in a row must be a record.

Apparently, the John Bradley Solution to Boredom is to post frequently on this forum ...

(just kidding, jb -- your links are great ...)
