You have to laugh. When I started this whole blogging cavalcade back in 2005, if I told people I had a blog (which I didn’t, for fear of the exact reactions I’m about to describe), they responded by either tittering incredulously or changing the subject with breakneck speed. Even saying the word out loud was infused with self-consciousness, like confessing chlamydia on a crowded subway. Skip ahead two-and-a-half years, a couple hundred million in online ad revenues, and a few thousand articles on the death of print media, and presto! The highly prestigious and revered-in-all-things-lawyerly American Bar Association Journal is exalting the world of Internet law rants and even ranking “The 100 Best Lawyer Websites,” a category also referred to by the linguistic tragedy, “Blawgs.” And, despite the fact that I could easily go the rest of my natural life without writing another word about lawyers (with the occasional exception), in swoops an e-mail informing me that I’ve made the list.
Some cruel ABA vixen stuck me in a category against Above The Law, who will of course pulverize me into chewable morsels (and make me like it). But if you’re feeling gratuitously kind, go here to toss me a vote. After all, everybody loves an underdog, right guys? Guys??
