As some of you know, I am a re-grouping (no, not groping) Baby Boomer. I have a J.D., used to practice law, and am now a grad student in History and Government and a graduate teaching assistant. This semester I am helping with an online course in Criminal Law. The instructor for this course is a local judge.

I really enjoy working with the students, as they are scattered all over, etc. It is invigorating. Many of the students are non-traditional students (like myself) who have gone back to school. However, some of the students take the "online" part a little to literally.

I just read an extra credit report on Jeffrey Toobin's The Nine. I wasn't even grading it, I was just getting it ready for the Judge to grade. I only read it all the way through because it seemed so opinionated. The more I read, the more I felt that it was too gramatically correct. So I googled one of the sentences.

Seems she found the whole thing online. It was lifted verbatim from - of all the Godawful places - The National Review.

So I went back and read an earlier assignment. It was a review of Scott Turow's Ultimate Punishment, that he wrote while on the Illinois Commission reviewing the death penalty. The first thing that struck me was how glowingly it talked about Turow (definitely not the National Review) So I google a sentence at random and came up with a web site full of reviews, with this one on top. She didn't even have to dig for it!!! Not only is she a slacker, but she is a slacker slacker!
