You know, there is an old saying about a town being too small to have any amount of work for one lawyer, but big enough to keep TWO of them happily busy into the next millennium.

According to this article in the Houston Business Journal, lawyers are still busy sorting through the various claims wrought by Desert Storm, most significant among them, the environmental losses sustained by Kuwait.

The funds for the 1991 claims come from the UN sanctions against Iraq, and [Energy Panel member and retired Marathon Oil lawyer Larry] Wiese thinks it likely the sanctions will be discontinued after the regime change, which could leave the remaining claimants uncompensated.

Looks like the only people who benefit from this war, either way, are the lawyers.

Just so we’re all clear on the concept, excerpted from the U.S. Constitution, found online:

Section. 3.
Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Clause 2: The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

U.S. Const. art. III, § 3, cl. 1-2.

Since Greg has relocated to the Nutbowl of the country (according to Acidman anyway), here’s a test he should take immediately so as to quickly acclimate himself to the ways of the California highway scene….

Oh what the fuck is going on NOW? Something is wrong with the main index page and I haven’t touched it! Sheesh! (All the other pages work fine so I know it’s not the HTML or CSS. Blog must be getting ready to go belly up on me. Good a time as any to BACK the damn thing UP!)

Later!
