Biggest News Ever

Maybe this will be the test to see if anyone actually reads this anymore. I haven’t written in a while because of the overwhelmingness of life.

But in the mist of all the confusion a little miracle happened. Its not often that one can say that something will affect their entire life in a meaningful way, but here it is...

Right now, flying in the skies is my darling love lindee. And in the sky, in that plane, in that lindee, there is a molecule of a new life. The little molecule swims around playing and sucking its brand new thumb. It has little eyes, and little fingers, and a little heart that goes “chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga...”. Lindee and I made this little molecule that will grow and grow until one day it pops outs as a glorious ray of sunshine and life.

My life will never be the same. If I wasn’t so busy I would be overjoyed and anxious, but I will hopefully have time for that in a little while. For now, we are referring to out little offspring as “the molecule”. If it’s a girl that I am leaning towards Mollie, if it is a boy that I’m thinking about Punter.

Punter is so the child can learn to be a NFL kicker or punter. They never get hurt but make alot of money. Its a long shot. I can see the headlines now: World's Only Jewish Kicker, Punter Lipka, misses the game winning field goal in Superbowl L (50).

I refer to the child as Cletus, The Fetus.

If you name the child Mollie, is that after Mommer? I am wondering if I am ever going to be able to use the name Jillian. It doesn't look good these days, but who knows. Older women can have children I hear. ;)

Free Shakespeare Tickets - Contest #3

My girlfriend and I have two extra tickets to Much Ado About Nothing in the park tonight (Saturday August 7). Since we thought selling free tickets was a little unethical, we decided to have a contest to see who needs them the most. So, if you are interested please go to http://danlipka.blogspot.com/ and post a comment that best describes why you want/need the tickets. The stories can be made up, but you have to specifically say if it is fictional (true stories carry more weight than fiction, but creativity is also a good thing). If you have any questions post them on the blog or email them to me. Tickets can be picked up on the upper east side or by the theater. Contest ends at 6:00 unless something changes, (well maybe at 5:30). Good Luck. 6:14 - It's all over. We have selected and contacted the winners. I’m sorry to all those who weren’t chosen, as you all were deserving of the tickets. To those couples that couldn’t get to go, I say to spend the night together, have a roma

The Constitution and Justice

When the Supreme Court rules, they often struggle to understand the depth and meanings in some of the words or phrases in the Constitution. However, the Founders provided very clear language as to what they were trying to accomplish from a vision standpoint. Although not the law, the Preamble provides critical guidance that should be the first reference for any court ruling. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Specifically, the word "Justice". It is the very first thing they wanted to establish. Justice should be the defining feature of any law, and anything that increase injustice should be unconstitutional. The very first question at any Supreme Court hearing should always be

Lessons from History - Democracy

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" - Winston Churchill I am currently reading biographies on each of the US Presidents. I'm only on Madison, but I've learned some incredible insights into the dysfunctions of our government. Since the Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777, politicians and the wealthy have been constantly undermining justice, equality, and the idea that they should prioritize the good of the nation above all else. The disgraces of current politicians are nothing new and have been part of US political culture since our country's founding. For example, the southern states refused to adopt the constitution unless it counted enslaved people at 3/5 of a person for the purposes of having more ele
