Send lawyers

I just heard that the President is responding to the massive oil spill by sending a large number of government attorneys to Louisiana. That's just the right thing to remediate an oil spill. I guess you tie them end to end, and float them in front of the encroaching slick? I just can't imagine what other useful purpose they might serve.

Kudos to the Texas bar

Lawyers are easily maligned, I certainly do my fair share. But as the courts, social services and legal community here in San Angelo (and more particularly Eldorado) are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of cases presented by the children of the FLDS, attorneys from all over the state are volunteering to do pro bono work on the behalf of the children.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have offered their services in these cases; you are a credit to your profession.
