GET TO WORK!....After writing three posts in two hours, Eugene Volokh's next post is this: Even
more swamped than usual, sorry to say. Will probably be unable to
respond to virtually all the messages I've been getting; my apologies,
as always.
Nineteen minutes later he has a post up about someone being sentenced to home confinement for illegally posting a movie online.
Heh heh. Maybe you'd be a little less swamped, Eugene, if you were actually doing your work instead of blogging all morning....
(Just kidding, of course, since there are always a few people who
take these jokey posts seriously. It just struck me as kind of funny,
that's all.)

I'll take Eugene's "too busy to post, but here's another post" modus operendi over pulling a Josh Marshall and promising "more about this later." and never writing anything more.
Especially since I like Josh a heap more than Gene.
I'd say more, but I'm swamped.
And another thing, I made Eugene's smoked salmon brie and carmelized
onion dish for dinner the other night. Unfortunately, I used lox
instead of Nova and the salmon overwhelmed the brie.
I'd write more, but I'm really swamped.
And did you see the transcript of the McClelland press conference today? Amazing.
More to come later...
I am an academic and I would love to blog, but I know that then
everytime I don't get some academic responsibility done, someone will
say "oh, but he had plenty of time to blog, what a loser."
So, instead, I waste all my time reading other folks' blogs; harder to trace where the hell my time goes.
Yeah, I suppose I could blog under a pseudonym, but what is the chance that I wouldn't reveal it to my collegues at some point?
Ahhh. The advantages of unemployment.
Now, how can I get reading blogs to pay my bills?

Subject: This is the letter I sent the New York Times
.... I think that even if you don't find as much as a
primer to a bullet cartridge, you have still found
thousands of body parts of the thousands of innocent
civilians who were butchered at the hands of a madman.
You have unending stories of the victims coming
forward and testifying of the brutality that they
lived in every day. You have the Kurds who were
gassed to death. Not soldiers, but women and
children. You have the jubilation of the freed people
as they tore down the statues of their tormentor and
beat the head of it with the bottom of their shoes;
which for them was the highest insult to offer up.
You do the President, Great Britton's Prime Minister,
the military forces from differing contries and their
sending nations a great injustice by calling the war a
bad move to have taken. To clarify this position;
what if Hitler hadn't been grabbing all the countries
he did, but kept to all his secret projects and his
genecidal activities. Would we not had gone after him
once we learned just how brutal he was and how
murderous his power over the peoples of Europe had
become? Perhaps you would have wrote then something
like: "well it's only Jews, Gypsies, Retards,
Handicappers, Elderly, Ministers and a mixed group of
nonGermans, so why waste the fuel and manpower?". I'm
so sick to my stomach to say, that the way the news
and Democrats are using airtime and prose for nothing
better than showing the world your total contempt for
the suffering masses around the world. A very
obnoxious and macabre way to slam the integrity of a
man you obviously want to loose the next election,
while doing it over the tombs of those whose blood
cries out for some justice, and protection to those
they leave behind. The media was so biased against
the then, Governor Bush during Bush's election that it
really opened the eyes of a lot of people who saw your
tactics. But you still didn't learn anything. When
the war started, the networks started the propaganda
machinery all over again and lost ratings, because of
their baseless cries of destruction to the American
Military and other such nonsense. Now you're at it
again with slam articles about not finding weapons of
mass destruction.
I think you and every body else who has verbated all
the parties previously mentioned, owes President Bush
and Prime Minister Blair, and all the other noble men
and women who freed the multiple people groups who
were brutalized in Iraq a huge and resounding pat on
the back for what they did do and not what a madman
with ample warning was able to successfully ship
accross his borders and hide before the war started.
The intelligence that the President used was also from
previously found items that were found before the war
by UN inspectors who saw the illegal hardware with
their own eyes. So continue the antiBush/Blair
stance you seem to be insanely devoted to, but you'll
not find a sympathetic ear from me, because it is
obvious that your minds are so polluted with
prejudice, that every thing appears evil in your eyes,
even when good is all around and in clear sight.
I say this to your shame.
For our noble President, England's Prime Minister, the
troops, the victims, the grieving mothers, fathers,
children of Iraq.

He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
Any certainty is a delusion.
Government is too big and too important to be left to the politicians.
