    If they were named Wall Street's most powerful law firm they must know what the real deal is!

    I'll be honest, the only thing I have to contribute to this is that I found the name amusing.

    SASM&F, still doesn't sound too catchy. They need a nickname.

    Skadden sounds like an awesome metal band name too. Also, I didn't know Greg Giraldo was a comedian, so I looked it up. Apparently he got his law degree from Harvard. Harvard and Skadden? What the heck made him do comedy? Anyways, it's sad that this intelligent and funny man is no longer around.

    I just nominated you for the Zomtastic Blog Award over at my blog. I like to think it's better than the sunshine award, but if you prefer sunshine, just change it's name. Seriously. Gogo check it out.

    Oh so these guys played some role in polishing the human turd that is Eliot Spitzer enough to land him a TV hosting gig after paying for whores. What wonderful people they must be.
