Dan Hull at WAC? is propagating another meme: the 10 best blawgs — nominate then recirculate. Inclusion on my list is based on merit to a degree — but sometimes it is a necessity if Geeklawyer wants to keep having his cock sucked (hey girl — here’s cum in your eye).
1) Geeklawyer: Being egotistical Geeklawyer feels compelled to include himself:
2) Ruthieslaw: Ruthie & VM/MysteryQC.
3) Pupilblogger. So sweet so naive so doomed to be crushed by the reality of the Bar.
4) Opencontent Lawyer: As if it wasn’t weird enough to have a Texan practising law in the UK this one is not a neo-con and has sensible views on IT/IP issues. That’s odd, but it’s a great blog.
5) CharonQC: no sensible review of the UK blog scene could fail to include the law free blawg of CharonQC — erudition wit and humour barely matched even by Geeklawyer.
6) WAC?: Dan Hull’s blog is the quintessential American lawyer blog. Dan is a depraved evil sociopathic neocon ambulance chasing beast pretending he loves his clients merely to get into their wallets. Of course he has his bad side too but let us not explore that little dark alleyway now.
7) IPKat: Professor Phillips and his magnificent team’s blogging tour de force. An IP blog that is now an authoritative and unimpeachable source of contemporary IP law.
8 ) IMPACT: Nearly the perfect model for how a law firm should run a blog its success is mostly down to the gifted IT/IP lawyer Alex Newson. The downside of course is that they are a bunch of Northerners but they do very well given that they have only been introduced to inside loo’s for the past decade.
9) Bikerslaw blog: a slightly odd blog from a UK perspective (very narrow target market) this rings Geeklawyer’s bell since he is a biker too but a proper one who doesn’t ride a chromosexual Harley.
10) Quizlaw: Geeklawyer finds the eclectic take on American legal news & politics funny and entirely on the bone.
Please don’t be offended if you were not included, it was just that you weren’t good enough, nothing personal; KTHXBYE.
I’m delighted to be number 2 on your list, but don’t assume this will win you any favours.
I do love the bikerslaw blog, in fact I’ve had a kind invite from Norman Fernandez to go biking with him in California, which I may just take up.
I shall be friggin’ disappointed if no favours are forthcoming. In truth you wouldn’t have been on the list otherwise: it would have been MysteryQC, soltante.
GL.. have just posted a comment on J Dan Hull’s WAC? to ask if it would be possible for you to be ‘extraordinarily rendited’ by the CIA. Where is your nearest ‘quiet’ airport.?
Hope you do not mind.
I must go now to see if Scotland can defeat Argentina at rugby… My Australian and New Zealand friends who have been ‘bigging’ it in recent weeks… seem to be rather quiet today.
I am taking communion now… my cousin Cardinal Charoni di Tempranillo has just arrived from Rome with his smoking handbag and some papal relics. He is absolving me of all my sins… helpful that. I get a discount, of course.
Charon. Dan has no levers of influence within the US government at the moment: he made a strategically bad decision to lie in bed with Hilary Clinton. Until she is elected his profferment of his bodily fluids will gain him no gain. He was foolish enough not to hedge his bets with GOP. Tshhh.
Until the day Lady Hilary gets power I am safe. After that I am legal counsel to the Iranian government, resident in Iran.
Thank you for being included on such a prestigious list. I am honoured!
IMPACT is a bit on the quiet side at the moment due to other commitments, but we’ll try to live up to the praise you have given.
Thanks, sir! Shucks.
I’m pretty good friends with a few current and currently drunken members of Congress–and their nurse-maid assistants–so don’t mess with WAC?
