Notre Dame Football

This past Saturday as the whole state of Ohio was in a frenzy for the Ohio State/Michigan game I was given the chance to go see Notre Dame vs. Army in South Bend. The whole trip was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a while. Two members of the group that I was in were alumni of Notre Dame and they were willing to take me every where on campus to show me the pre-game traditions. First off the campus is just beautiful, the people were the nicest I have met at a football game. When the alumni told others that it was my first time at Notre Dame they welcomed me with open arms and were willing to supply me with anything I needed. I recommend that everyone take a trip to Notre Dame stadium for a game, the experiences you encounter will be remembered for a life time.

Election 2006 results

Well the votes were counted with some votes thrown out and burned The results show heavy gains by the Democrats in Congress due to voters' discontent with the war in Iraq and ethics in Congress. What will be the end result of this?
1. Obviously a change in policy for Iraq. Case in point, Rumsfeld resigning today
2. More vetoes coming from the White House.
3. President Bush will now have a punching bag in the area of Nancy Pelosi
4. With Allen gone and the debacle in the Senate. Governor Romney just became the top dog to take on McCain in 08 for the GOP nomination. No one will vote for Frist or Allen now
5. Gridlock government means less money being spent therefore smaller budget deficits
6. Taxes wont increase or decrease
7. GOP comeback in 08 as they were able to get rid of some bad candidates, and will return with much stronger candidates in 08.
8. Voters realizing some problems cannot be fixed by the government therefore their support for Democrats will decrease.
9. The return of Newt Gingrich to national headlines
10. A very interesting confirmation hearing if Bush is to appoint another person to the Supreme Court.

Well anyways, those are my predictions of what the next 2 years in DC will be. Ohio will be the same as a Democrat is governor but the legislator remains republican.
GRIDLOCK BABY!!!

In other news last week was the Student Bar Association's Costume Ball. As a 1L Rep for my class I attended to show support for the SBA and take advantage of the open bar. It was a good time, met some more great people. Saw some interesting costumes. I will admit I am dumbfounded on how law students can act. A car was broken into and a radio stolen, someone punched a hole in the Men's room, and a couple of fights almost happened. Crap, I know we will litigate these types of cases in the future, but lets not be the cause of them.
