The bar exam is bad enough, but just look at this schedule of events: for the next two months, the Times Union Center in Albany is gonna be chock-full of sadness.
Also. What the hell is a “Carnival of Madness”?
… oh jesus, apparently it’s this.

The Liberty Scam
The idea that supernormal compensation is fit reward for supernormal talent is the ideological superglue of neoliberalism, holding firm since the 1980s. It’s no wonder that in the aftermath of the housing bust, with the glue showing signs of decay—with Madoff and “Government Sachs” displacing Jobs and Buffett in the headlines—”liberty” made its comeback. When the facts go against you, resort to “values.” When values go against you, resort to the mother of all values. When the mother of all values swoons, reach deep into the public purse with one hand, and with the other beat the public senseless with your dog-eared copy of Atlas Shrugged.
