Thanks PB! I will certainly keep them coming! It may just be that I keep them coming on a related webpage: I am considering politics.blogatory.com. All of the comments folks have posted have taken your view, but I have gotten some offline comments suggesting that the political posts be separated from the regular posts.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;[D]o my recent political posts work for you? Are they a distraction?&quot;

Yes, they work.  No, they aren&#039;t a distraction.  They&#039;re critical to civil discourse.  

God knows the Fourth Estate has completely abdicated its duty of criticism since 9/11.  And it&#039;s not likely to stand up now that it gets a daily ass-chewing from the President-elect.

We lawyers would be derelict in &lt;em&gt;our&lt;/em&gt; duty if we don&#039;t have the discussion.]]></description>
