TEDDY KENNEDY DIES

Teddy Kennedy lost his battle with cancer late Tueday night. The dissection and meaning of his life by the talking heads is now underway. Most of the coverage is fairly even-handed, and doesn't omit the details of an occasionally troubled personal life. On Twitter, Carol Marin shared a great tribute she saw on the failed talkers blog. Certainly worth a read.

GLAD TO SEE I HAVE BEATEN THE ODDS

Back from vacation, stumbled across an interesting blurb at Law.Com's Legal Blog Watch. According to an admittedly unscientific poll, 50% of law blogs fail in the first year. The explanation? According to the article, because lawyers simply don't have the time to dedicate to providing content on a regular basis. We lawyers are apparently very busy.

But lack of time is far too simple an explanation. There is more to it. My thought is that lawyer/bloggers are too lazy to find that interesting article and bring it to the masses. Not me, no sir. In this blog you can read about 9 foot tapeworms and strippers. I make the effort because I care. Deeply.
