Thanks, but that much was an easy call — naturally they’d mention anything in closing that might raise doubt as long as they could do so without an appearance either of desperation or of a gross misunderstanding of the evidence.

I just don’t know how the jury is supposed to evaluate materiality. We’ll see how it goes.

hey, I am getting reports from the courtroom that the defense is pushing the “Materiality” in their closing.

Good call

Hmmm – at the risk of butt-kissing, considering the volume of blog entries Craig churns out on a daily basis, I think the literary quality is pretty good, the Douchbaggery level very low. Even though he once used one of my posts in its entirety as an negative example, I would not use the d-word on him.

He’s no Old Gator, but pretty entertaining nonetheless…

Kudos on The Office reference. But, um “douchebaggery”? Really? One of these days Craig’s gonna write something truly off the wall that’ll be worth getting riled at him about and then what are you gonna do? You’ve used your best insult and a totally spiff Office line for a minor criticism because you consider ‘fact’ a turn off for readers. IMO; t’aint “douchebaggery” just “Shrute-like”.

FACT: Bears eat beets.

Saying “FACT” in a blog post doesn’t make your point any better, it just amps up the “douchebaggery” content of the post and makes some readers less likely to pay attention, and more likely to think of Jim mimicking Dwight in The Office, saying, “FACT: Bears eat beets”.

Find a better way to get your point across. Perhaps you could start with, “Webster’s Dictionary defines Douchebag as…”. Or is that just as bad as saying, “FACT!”?

Editor’s note: It is.

As long as he doesn’t go to a Giants game at Dodger Stadium, he should be ok.

A little perspective please, Purdy: The Giants chose to ignore MLB’s directives regarding access to the clubhouse in order to appease their star player. That was their mistake; it’s not all on Bonds.

Also, Mark Cuban says you need to label this column as “opinion”.

Barry used steroids, and is a horse’s arse but he’s our horse’s arse and I’ll never forget the dozens of games he flat out turned the Stick or PGE Park into a madhouse of delirious cheers. Glad he’s gone but miss dropping everything to watch one of his at bats. He’s like one of my in laws – I have to have him over for family events and wish the best for him, but can’t stand the guy,
