I don’t know why, but inspiration used to strike me in the morning, right after I’d done my daily rounds of newspapers and blog sites.  Now, though, that information seems to need to percolate for a while, and inspiration strikes in the afternoon or early evenings.  I’m sorry for that

I’ve got a trial to prepare for today, so won’t be blogging, at least not now.  Have it at, you guys!

Legal work isn’t half as much fun as blogging (and all the interesting stuff I read as part of blogging).  Still, after a year-long drought, I’d be a fool to complain.  As soon as I have time, though, I’ll weigh in here.  Until then, if you’re having a quiet evening

You asked for it, you got it. My only regret regarding Reagan is that, as he was president during my liberal days, I didn’t appreciate him at the time.  I’ve made up for that now, but I wish I could have enjoyed him when he was in office. Here’s his

I’m putting the finishing touches on the first drafts of a demurrer and motion to strike, so I’m in lawyer mode.  My writing has become appropriately boring, obfuscatory and pompous, so you should all be very grateful that I’m not visiting it on you this morning.  I’ll get back here

I have actual paying work this morning, and that trumps even the delights of blogging. Please consider this an open thread until (a) my work is done and (b) I actually have something worthwhile to say. In the meantime, since you know my deep and abiding respect for Rush, you
