the LSAT doesn’t test for common sense…
if there’s anything that reminds me that getting into an a-list school doesn’t mean that much, it’s stories like these.
A Georgetown University law student who was trying to impress his girlfriend admitted yesterday that he cranked up his new Infiniti to 126 mph on the George Washington Memorial Parkway — among the highest speeds ever clocked on the stretch of federal road.
i’d post his picture (the student in question is 28-year-old Drew Hoffman, apparently a joint-degree candidate), but that would just be mean. he’s TWENTY-EIGHT, for chrissake!
Sgt. Scott Fear, a U.S. Park Police spokesman, said Hoffman was stopped at 3:55 a.m. on March 12 traveling south on the parkway at Turkey Run Park. He said Hoffman quickly pulled onto a ramp but wound up trapped because the ramp led to CIA headquarters.
this is why you should case your speed traps before putting pedal to the metal. and there are signs, drew, regarding that exit ramp. you know, CIA. although i’d imagine they’d be a tad hard to see at 4 a.m. when you’re downshifting from 126 mph.
The judge fined him $1,200 and said he could not drive a car for the first 60 days of his probation and only on a restricted basis after that. The 12 days in jail could be served on weekends.
shoulda suspended his license for a year. it’s people like him who kill little boys like jeremy grodsky.

there’s impressed and there’s impressed. some impressions are lasting, but not all are good.

It’s nice to know someone remembers that. Jeremy was my brother. But who are you?
