Huh?, and Huh? Again

Spotted on last night's final Bill Maher show of 2003:

Not Seen Every Day

Michael Moore on national television in a Four Seasons Resorts baseball cap. Moore has a new book in the offing: Dude, Where's My Country? (At the Four Seasons? Notsomuch...)

Seen Perhaps More Frequently

An elected representative doing what could have been years of self-damage in the span of a five minute interview.

Watch Maher's Transcripts page for Episode 20.

Today's New Blawg

The well known law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP has a Research Services department. The Research Services department, as of August 28, has a weblog: "The KERBlog!" The KERBlog has some rockin' goals:

Create an amorphous web presence to instantly share timely, refreshing, relevant, intelligent, and insightful library and research oriented links and observations with each other. Provide an unobtrusive yet obvious megaphone for those professional shout-outs we need to share. Reconnect our massive info-services intelligencia and our collective professional expertise and experience.

Yesterday, KERBlogger Tim had a fascinating post about "a mortal work of art." Welcome! KERBlog on!

No One Minds

Catherine, this is unbelievably poignant writing, the kind of thing that cements even further my conviction that it's worthwhile for people to read what's on the scattershot collective mind of those in the legal field—whether or not it has anything to do with specific cases, firms, analyses, practices, or the more mundane aspects of what we do. (Of course, I think your "Blog v. Blawg" post has everything to do with "the law and lawyering," but I can be kind of meta that way.) Thanks. I'll be ecstatic if you stick to blogging, as long as I can stick to calling you a blawger.
