Wow, asshole comment, even for you.

Are you really going to law school?

[DGuller]

I think we need to start a poll.  Who will be the next Languishite to get into law school?  Only non-lawyers are eligible, so the 20 option limit for polls shouldn't be a problem.

[Tonitrus]

Maybe I use my GI Bill to go to law school.

i wouldn't worry about it then. i'm sure you did better than you thought. if your LSAT/grades are high enough for chicago, then you'll be fine wherever you end up. what are your safeties?

Well, I took all of the 'T14 or don't bother' commentary literally, so I don't really have a safety.

A renowned German violinist went on a naked rampage at a Manhattan hotel, forcing his way into a female tourist's room and choking her, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Staffers at the boutique Hudson Hotel at Columbus Circle were first alerted to the bizarre antics of Stefan Arzberger after guests reported seeing a man roaming around naked early Friday, the sources said.

A 64-year-old female hotel guest from North Carolina "heard a knock and opened her door slightly'' around 8 a.m., a law enforcement source said.

She was confronted by a wild-eyed Arzberger — who recently performed at the Library of Congress — "completely naked,'' the source said.

"He stuck his arm out, and she tried to slam the door shut, but he stuck his arm in between the door and the door jamb," the source said of the 42-year-old lead violinist for the internationally acclaimed Leipzig String Quartet, which has played at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.

"He barged inside and grabbed her around the neck with both hands and started strangling her."

The violinist allegedly choked the woman so hard that the blood vessels in her eyes were ruptured, according to a court complaint.

Hotel staff heard the victim crying for help and pulled the crazed man off her, cops said.

Arzberger managed to flee back to his room, but police arrested him shortly after, the sources said.

The victim and Arzberger did not know each other, the sources said.

A source close to the musician claimed that the episode happened after someone slipped a drug into Arzberger's drink at the hotel bar. He has no memory of what happened, the source said.

But police said that when they took Arzberger into custody, he showed no outward signs of mental distress.

His lawyer insisted that he has never been in trouble with the law.

"He's an upstanding member of society without a criminal record who has devoted his life to the arts,'' lawyer Nicholas Kaizer told The Post. "He has no record anywhere, and we hope at the end of the journey, he has no record here."

Arzberger was charged with strangulation and burglary.

He was released Saturday after bondsman Ira Judelson posted the $100,000 bail, according to court papers. Judelson declined to comment.

Arzberger's group has toured throughout Europe, Australia and Asia in addition to the US.

There's a roofer in Germany called Thomas Neger. His last name, "Neger" is the German word for negro. He doesn't understand why his logo is creating a bit of a shitstorm. After all, he just means to be ironical with it.



(The logo has been around for 60 years)

On that topic, I'm starting law school in Fall. Wish me luck!

I see BB has inspired yet another Languishite into the noble craft of justice for all. Good luck noble Jaron!

Somehow I don't think it was originally meant as ironic.

Hey, an artist has to unwind somehow.

Seconded.  I think J-Man would make a great lawyer.

[Ideologue]

Not really.

Indeed.  Jaron is like, what, 35?  36?  It'd be an iffy idea to go to Yale at that age.

People who prepare to jump off cliffs don't need to be encouraged, and people who tell them that there are sharp rocks at the bottom aren't necessarily assholes.
