As with ALL technology, this is the latest design, the most modern of product identifiers. So, how do they work . . . ?

Is the term “Christian lawyer” an oxymoron? Although the bar rules of ethics can be draconian, it can nonetheless be a battle for the lawyer to follow the demands of his faith.
“Dave”
January 29th, 2012
The movie “Dave” is a 1993 comedy/drama starring Kevin Cline and Sigourney Weaver. It is the story of a look-alike who was hired to substitute for “the President” one evening while the latter was “busy” in an extra-marital event. The President, obviously overstressed in his “work”, has a near-fatal heart attack, is in a coma, and Dave was convinced to continue the impersonation while unscrupulous White House officials decided on a resolution to the situation.
Lawyers, Candle-stick Makers, etc.
January 22nd, 2012 “Legal disclaimer”: I have a lot of friends (well, a couple of ‘em at least!) who are lawyers; this is NOT aimed at them.
While sitting in front of the TV, I notice that there are a LOT of “wrongful” – (death), (sickness), (accident), (injury) case offers that, if you call their number you most certainly will get a substantial settlement. Asbestos, bad medicine, auto accident or whatever, there is almost always a lawyer out there who is willing to handle your case. I call them “ambulance chasers”.
