\"window\" T<\/em><\/strong>here are times when the f\/k\/a <\/em>Gang feels guilty about repeating or cannibalizing an old posting. But, not when it comes to Memorial Day, when we gladly sacrifice novelty to recall again the sacrifices that have been made by our armed forces since the 18th Century.

\"\" p.s.<\/em><\/strong> A year ago, Blawg Review <\/em>#110<\/a>, honored our war dead and spotlighted lawyer weblogs that did the same. This year, expect a similar focus in Blawg Review<\/a> #161,<\/em> which will be hosted by Stephen at Patent Baristas<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

update<\/em><\/strong> (May 27, 2008): Stephen Albainy-Jenei indeed brewed up a patently impressive Blawg Review<\/em> #161<\/a> today — both honoring Memorial Day and memorializing the best blawg posting of the past week.<\/p>\n
