Rain? and politics

Where is it? I haven't seen rain since Brooks' rehearsal dinner night. That was over a month ago. California is dry, dry, dry. At least this time of year. It's cloudy and sometimes looks like the dreary skies over London or Utrecht...but in those places it rained daily. Here, it's cloudy a few days here and there. One or two a week...but no rain. It's eerie really.

In other news, John Yoo, former assistant AG, goes before Congress tomorrow. There's a group in Berkeley that is campaigning to get him fired. He's a law professor here now, but he's better known as the author of the torture memos. A bright, legal mind, for sure, but a champion of the unitary executive theory. This is a scary man to have as your ConLaw professor. How will you ever learn about separation of powers, new UC Berkeley 1Ls? Needlesstosay, I look forward to reading the transcript of tomorrow's Congressional hearings and I look forward to the indictment, even if it takes a while.
