- Jesus…Now With 20% More Peanuts
I just finished reading God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. No matter what he says, Mr. Hitchens is, to a certain extent, just as irrational as one who believes in a god. After all, the existence of a god, being based in faith, is unprovable. The same applies to the non-existence of god. There [...]

- The More You Know*: Basket-ball
Did you know that there are other team sports other than baseball that are played in June? Living in New York, I sure didn’t. I thought the only two sports were baseball and which Yankees player can create the biggest scandal (Jason Giambi might be this week’s winner after admiting that he previously used steroids). [...]

- Why I Carry A Murse
Last night, I went to see a friend play with the Woman which was unsurprisingly good. I say “unsurprisingly” because Amy, the director (directrix?), is terrific and her productions are always good. The other one-act in competition with Amy’s one-act was meandering and too loose for my liking.

About
This is the Hipster Union Restart site. It is part of a writing project. I am writing a book, entitled Factory of Broken Dreams, a fictionalized account of what it's like to work as an associate attorney in New York City after graduating with a JD from a second-tier law school. Some of what you read happened. Some of it to me.
What?
You do what you're told. You buckle down in high school. You do well on your SAT. You get into a good college. You study hard. You graduate with decent grades. You think about grad school. You do your research. You go to a respectable second-tier law school. And just like that, you're doomed to a life of toil and misery. Forget your career. You're a second-tier lawyer.

- Another Reason To Support Obama
“We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.”
Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America’s improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to [...]
