Non-Sequiturs: 04.20.07
* Like you, this attorney and concerned citizen opted for law school because science just wasn't her thing. [J-Walk Blog]
* Kettles Retailers are being told they're black warned not to infringe upon Kate Moss's much-hyped and copyrighted "Pot"-shop Topshop collection. [Fashionista; Retail Week]
(An explanatory note for those of you who couldn't care less: Topshop is an H&M-esque retailer that rips off designs from everybody so that broke girls and boys can swath themselves in sweatshop-produced crap and still have money left over for cigarettes.)
* Power may be the great aphrodisiac, but in my experience, sexual harassers in the professional workplace are just pervs or losers who couldn't find a date in high school. Sometimes it's that simple. [Feminist Law Professors]
* In these violent times, "Red Asphalt" just doesn't do the trick in scaring the bejesus out of high school drivers. [Central Ohio]
* School lunches + biometrics = ACLU. Of course. [Turn to 10]

That letter is actually a pretty amusing satire. I mean, it is, right?

Or sometimes the sexual harasser gets PROMOTED even after allegedly walking into her office and telling a young associate to "stand up, turn around ... you look like the hostess in a Chinese restaurant." As this guy puts it, "This is the kind of thing that gives lawyers the reputation for being assholes, especially males."
