before that first cup

Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 2:33 pm


past due gray

 





end of the holiday

a square of pale grass

beneath the tent

 

 


old mill stream

a bramble stalk

in perpetual motion

before that first cup:

sleepy-head fills the filter

    • With panache, Ernie the Attorney notes Jack Valenti says ‘fair use is not in the law’.  Ernie calls it “bullheadedness,” but isn’t that what mouthpieces do — spin their client’s position, ignoring facts, law, equities?



    • Can a lawyer serve the client diligently, and be an “officer of the court,” while being “on the Judeo-Christian side of every issue.”  See article on Rev. Falwell’s Liberty University Law School — National Law Journal, Law and Religion“.

night in the hut
searching on the shelf…

Tisk, tisk!  No, I haven’t been cured of my Referer Madness, and I won’t go into detox.   Instead, I’m turning the obsession — backtracking from the f/k/a  Referer List to search-engine queries that bring hits to this website — into a new, frequently-updated  Feature, called TISK  [the inadvertant searchee and the katydid].

 

You’ll discover why [as with “stocking“] using “hogtied” at a dignified website might not be a good idea, and see how powerful weblog search-engine placement can be.

 

 

 


using his nose
the dog searches
