Blawg Review from the Trenches (Update)
Simple Justice:
It occurred to me yesterday that the anonymous Ed. of Blawg Review fame pressed me into service in a moment of weakness to host Blawg Review #170. Uh oh. This places me in the difficult, if not untenable, position of coming up with something thoughtful and or witty.
There have been masterful Blawg Reviews from the past, with Anne Reed at Deliberations and Eric Turkewitz at New York Personal Injury Law standing out in my mind, as well as fellow criminal defense lawyers Jamie Spencer and Gideon. Colin Samuels is the epitome of a Blawg Reviewdom, having followed Dante’s trilogy of the Inferno, the Purgatorio and the Divine Comedy. As proof of Colin’s exceptionally good taste, Simple Justice wasn’t mentioned in any of his Reviews.
So now, I beg the aid of others. Certainly nothing I produce will compare favorably with the great Blawg Reviews that came before, but I’m desperately hopeful not to embarrass myself with the singularly most pathetic Blawg Review ever. Unlike the genius (not to mention far better read) Colin, I have absolutely no clue how I will approach this endeavor. The anonymous Ed. is nowhere to be found. Turk has offered some very useful advice, though it involves my getting arrested immediately so that I can live-blog my way through processing.
Please don’t let me crash and burn. Submit your favorite posts to Blawg Review or send me an email. And I’m sure that whatever theme I come up with at the last moment, I’ll come up with a better idea the next day. Thanks to all in advance for your help.
Update: This from Colin Samuels at Infamy or Praise:
