"In Islamabad, police battled with hundreds of lawyers..."
Posted by Kate at February 9, 2008 5:16 PMI got an email from the Law Society of Upper Canada urging me to support the lawyers in Pakistan. They didn't provide a plane ticket, so i figured moral support would do.
I would donate airmiles and travel expenses to send Kinsella and Cherniak.

Just think this will be Canada in a few years, but somehow can't imagine our government appointed lawyers will be as brave as these guys, not with special k guys feeding them all the 'proof' he can make up, on our dimes.
Who is Kinsella, and why is he so popular here? If he's some troublesome troll, then he's done a wonderful job of reducing you lot to his level.

You have that backwards. We were here first.
yeah sure woot.....you don't know the K man....but you can assume OUR level of levity parallels his.......be assured we're not being the least bit frivolous wooter...what you hear is the sound of peasants sharpening scythes......lawyers scribbling writs of mandamus...tumbrels rumbling ....and other jolly stuff.

Just another day in sharia land. And this is what the whackjobs want to bring here? Over my dead body!
Posted by: kingstonlad at February 9, 2008 7:56 PMWho is Kinsella, and why is he so popular here?
You mean Warren Kinsella.
Warren (from answers.com)
1 a) An area where rabbits live in burrows.
b) A colony of rabbits. See synonyms at flock1.
2 An enclosure for small game animals.
3 a) An overcrowded living area.
b) A mazelike place where one may easily become lost: a warren of narrow, dark alleys and side streets
If I were to choose number 2, then I would say that he is a recipient for a lot of Kate's roadkill diaries. :)
Although someone else might also choose 3 (b).

Since you don't know Kinsella, then you can't possibly know how low his level is.
Posted by: Woodporter at February 9, 2008 8:51 PMwoot wooot wooooooooooot
sounds like a train passing through
and as to kantsella
have two major strike agin him
he's a lawyer
and
he's a lieberal
and it could only be worst if he sold used cars as aside vocation
If some smart alec picks up the two leads attached to the Tazer on the lunch room table, and taunts you, and you are always quick enough to Zap him, And if he persists and you laugh hysterically every time *smarty* gets Zapped, well that could explain why the Tazer is placed on the table, from time to time, Woot, old boy. = TG
Posted by: TG at February 9, 2008 9:23 PMI'm probably going to burn for this but when I saw all those LAWYERS protesting in their suits. And then the cops started beating those protesting LAWYERS and I realized thats not right but then again they were LAWYERS but oh the humanity but they were LAWYERS so in the end I was rooting for the cops and screaming get that one and that one.Then the wife was yelling GET OFF THE COUCH AND PUT THE CLICKER DOWN.

LET'S SEE SOME POLICE BRUTALITY!!!
Posted by: JOHN at February 9, 2008 10:43 PMThe Taliban are Shia. Are the Lawyers mostly Sunni? That could explain a lot, yet, alas, as usual, it is never that simple. = TG

Liked your post. I will never write the way you do, being too stuck on grammar, but I appreciate flair when I see it. I think you have talent.
So, in Pakistan they proposed loser-pays rules for lawsuits? Only thing I can think of that would get those slackers off their sinecures and out in protest.
I'm with staylor: cops beating lawyers, no downside in sight.
Posted by: The Phantom at February 10, 2008 1:41 AMAre the cops using tazers yet? They could put this on pay TV.
Posted by: JDN at February 10, 2008 2:01 AMWe're just playing with Kinsella, tossing him around like a toy dinosaur. He's just a self important Liberal lawyer who does a bit of comedy at election time. Apparently he does a bit of sh*t house photography of late, something about exposing graffiti. If that's all he exposes, no prob.
