Alumni Update

Some of this blogs readers may be aware several of the guys attended law school at Chicago in the 80s.  Amongst our well-known colleagues is the current director of the FBI (though I can't say I remember ever meeting him).   I was startled this morning to receive the following email which at first I thought was a alumni fundraising appeal.   I reproduce it in its entirety for the full effect but I note: 
  • - I feel they sort of give away the game a bit in the heading.    
  • - Really?- the Feds use an aol address?
  • - Really?  "favour"? and they really should capitalize "united states"- unless that is meant to be subterfuge.
  • - I feel comforted knowing they care about us "dear citizens"
  • -Columbus Guy- what do you know about Mrs. Bailey from OHIO?

I know I'm tall, anyway.

And Mrs. Bailey is a rock. Anything she's involved in, I'd boost your contribution 50 percent, at least.
