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)

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.
JurisPundit was nice enough to point to my mention of
LPOP sua sponte. I wish I had remembered to “nominate”
my pieces last week counsellor or mercenary?, as well as
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).
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.
