Why is it that movie directors like playing Donovan while people on screen do fucked up shit? Is it just all about the contrast?
I got to watch the Oregon Supreme Court hear oral arguments about a case this morning. It was pretty amazing. It was clear from the start that the Justices really liked one argument better than the other, so they tore the guy they didn't like a new one. The weird part was that they kept giving him ways to salvage his case and he kept ignoring them. He was so wrapped up in making the argument he went there to make that he didn't even notice when the Justices said- a couple of times, literally,- "Look, we're not interested in that. All we want to hear about is how you think we should be interpreting this statute." He was like a rat in a ring of terriers, all bristle and no guile.

I'm not well up on the Scottish thing - my family is Welsh (with occasional patches of Irish) but my son doesn't think of himself as anything other than English; which I find rather sad, really. (TBH, I was born in England, I've never lived anywhere else, and I speak no Welsh. So, you know, I can't claim Welshness. But I don't feel English.)
