the old man’s wink

Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 3:22 pm


Everyone’s talking about marijuana and abuse of federal power today, with the release of the Raich decision.  For a fun treatment of both topics during the Nixon Whitehouse years, and a tie-in to my about-to-be-written post on Deep Throat, see the 1999 flick “Dick,” with Kirsten Dunst (at 17) playing one of a pair of innocent high schoolers who befriend the Trickster.   


Meanwhile, predators, risk-takers and thoughtful Americans should

enjoy a trio of small poems from Honored Guest Randy Brooks:

 


horsefly kicking

in the pond water . . .

     a bubble from below

 

 

 

 

 

 

 








our teenagers

on the whitewater raft . . .

I let go of the rope

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bingo boards empty–

    another widow intercepts

    the old man’s wink

 

 

 

 

 “schoolBrooks” Randy Brooks  from School’s Out (Press Here, 1999)

tiny check JurisPundit hosts Blawg Review #9 today and has

some great pointers.  I’m especially glad to have discovered

Greatest American Lawyer‘s recent provocative post on

lawyer advertising.  There are some good Comments, along

with a short ethicalEsq sermon.


 

tiny check  Tip to my friends at Blawg Review:  If you plan to be

around awhile, numbering the weekly editions is not as helpful

as including the date.   In the alternative, you might consider:

Blawg Review Vol. I, No. X. (2005).

 

tiny check Count me among the Democrats who wish that Howard

Dean would stop name-calling and start sounding a lot more like

a mature adult who has worthwhile ideas.   I’m sure Prof. B concurs.
