fame!
will baude at crescat quoted my whales post below. (i still don't have permalinks working right, so readers are driven here instead of the entry about a page down.)
earlier this week one of my other blogs was quoted by rick hasen.
feedback like that could get me blogging again regularly.
my most recent blog is called tahoeblog.blogspot.com which is a strange name for a blog about lbj; lbjblog is taken and i ended up not after all starting a blog for a tahoe land owner's group that is concerned about takings.

UPDATE: The Arbitrary Aardvark weighs in:

Wales have persons and are persons. Individual wales make up the cetacian community.
Cetacian-American community?
The court is simply indulging in dredd scott style bigotry.
If you prick us, do we not bleed?


thanks will. if reminded, i might drop you a line with my secret plans about how to take over yale with a study group called "bull and scones."

update: i'd been pondering how will chanced on this post; is he a very loyal reader, or does he search the net for posts that mention crescat? but i think i've got it -
at heidi's blog i left a comment about the relative standing of whales and chickens.
i don't know if he's seen my other comment at some blog somewhere, about the standard of review in valeo.
for more about whales, howard at how appealing had three entries together, one about oysters, one about the illinois judicial election ad ban story that i've been following, and then the whales case. i was thinking of quoting all that with a clever caption but didn't think of one.

update sunday:
Whales versus Wales:
See, i'm from Duluwure, which is next to Murulund, and had a dialect in which
"W" and "Wh" sound the same. Unaccented syllables get the schwa sound - i don't know if blogger can display the schwa character, the upsidedown e.
I am vaguely aware some people pronounce these as distinct sounds, but for me and my people it's just another arbitrary spelling convention.

Back to my book, which in this case is John Kenneth Galbraith memoirs, far less dull than i was expecting.
