The problem with shorting stocks that you know to be absurdly overvalued is that the irrational market that overvalues them can persist a long time. You can easily lose your shirt waiting for the market to become rational.

Have you never heard the wise saying about proving a negative?

Leave us not forget that Phil Mickelson, who made his name and fortune hitting small balls into cups, has never done a single thing in his life to make the world a better place. Why would anyone with a brain give a f— what an idiot golfer thinks?

This has not been consistent; the NYT seems to link to opinions randomly without any clear policy or explanation. The same observation applies to their ridiculously sporadic reporting on who appointed the judges rendering a decision.

I would be far more inclined to give props to Kelly if he were not the most relentlessLy obnoxious spammer in the Democratic Party. Every day — literally, EVERY SINGLE DAY — I have to delete several text messages and emails ”from Mark Kelly.” He gives Democratic fundraising a very bad name.

Why is nobody pointing out the obvious: Trump wants to use the massive new ballroom to hold huge fundraising dinners for his personal benefit? (He’ll say it’s fine because he paid for it with private donations, but he doesn’t give a damn what you think).

Sinclair deserves every punishment that can be lawfully inflicted upon them. They are truly awful wastes of carbon. Also, they are spineless weasels.

I would go further. Every blue state should pass a “stand your ground” law stating that anyone wearing a mask and refusing to show ID should be deemed a threat and can properly be subjected to lethal force in self-defense.

I have two children applying to law school. It really does scare me.

Ridiculous. As Piketty shows, making illiquid investments with professional managers has consistently produced outsized returns on college endowments. That Brown and Northwestern readily borrowed vast amounts proves that liquidity is not a problem for them.

Still enough material here for Judge Becker to have written a 20+ page opinion had he been given a chance. (I clerked for Judge Stapleton, many moons ago with Leo Strine, so I probably should have been more on the ball with my late night spitballing).
