Aug. 28th, 2003 10:00 amForsooth, the Judge in the criminal case against Andrew Fastow and a couple other Enron blood suckers is refusing to release the transcripts of the trial and ordered reporters out of the court and eve out of the hallway next to it. His stated reason for this increadible crap is that "There are matters that do not need to be discussed in public in ways that embarrasses or humiliates the government or the defense and particularly the court"
This judge, Kenneth M. Hoyt, a Reagan appointee, is apparently a moron. He's been censured by the 5th circuit for such rediculous stuff as
"Hoyt, who is black, said at one point that race is not a factor in some diseases -- including sickle cell anemia -- and has refused to admit evidence about the rate of lupus contraction among blacks "because white people wrote it."

It's truly frightening that idiots like this are in place on the federal bench, nor does it speak well for our chances of seeing justice done to the Enron crooks.

Aug. 28th, 2003 02:13 pmI'm taking a microeconomics class, eco304k. It's through UT's Univeristy Extention, thier version of nightschool.
My first class is tonight at 7:30, I successfully tricked myself into not thinking about it or even really being aware of when it starts until this afternoon. But I was finally forced to check and determinded that the class did in fact make and that it's going to be in east campus, the rapoport buliding, BRB 1.120.
Avoiding consciouness of it was a pretty good idea, except that it of course spawns a wonderful rush of fear now that everything is happening. I need to get parking permit, I decide what I am going to wear, figure out what to take with me.
I don't have a book or stuff yet, I refuse to allow myself to fuck myself by sleazing by and not getting a book for a class like I used to do. I'm also not going to fuck myself by not attending to showing up late.
Damn, it's been over a decade since I attended a class.
