Top 100: ABA Top Blog Competition Begins

It is that time of the year for our annual blawgletting — the ABA top blog competition. We have once again been selected as one of the top 100 legal blogs (of over 3000) and nominated for the IMHO (opinion) category and it is time to release our minions upon the field of blog battle. Vote here to defend our way of life and the future of the planet.


This year, the editors put us up against pretty tough competition: the conservative legal site The Volokh Conspiracy. VC is one of the top most visited sites with an extremely loyal following.

Remember no high school friend is too distant or any relationship too casual to be coerced into voting. What better way to reestablish a long dormant relationship than a call to discuss this blog and its insatiable need for attention and approval?

Good luck to all of the competitors (even those in the IMHO category)!

  2. I’ll see your Franklin and raise you a Cash . . .

    This is actually a traditional folk song better known as “Run On” and has been recorded many times in many genres, but I don’t think anyone did it better than the Man in Black.

  5. Frank,

    As my grandmother was a lifelong dedicated church goer and fan of gospel music, I am indeed familiar with that song. However, my personal tastes have always run more to Nina Simone. 🙂

  6. Frank Mascagni III,

    Okay, I cried … brought back a lot of memories …

    Here’s one of my favorites (they’re going to have to give us our own thread ’cause I could go on all night!)

  7. Blouise: Your posting made me think of an old 1964 civil rights song by Nina Simone called “Mississippi Goddam”. It was banned from my home state of Mississippi from play:

    Made me think of an old southern gospel song: ” When the roll is called up yonder”. Maybe a man from Louisiana will rememberthis old song:

    I wonder if any of our U.S. Senators are prepared to vote their conscience as though their ability to answer the Lord’s roll call was at stake. Interesting…politics and religion… .

  11. That means a lot coming from you, mespo. There is no greater compliment than one delivered by a person held in the highest regard. Thank you, kind sir.

  12. BIL:
    Somebody I respect says “One lives to be of service.” Sounds about right.

  13. Oooo. A new Teddy-ism for the collection. Thanks for sharing that, mespo. That’s a good one.

  14. Frank:

    I agree. There is zero political cost in going after this Judge and they know it. I expect lots of posturing.

    I emailed JT today with this line from Teddy Roosevelt, who knew a thing or two about the Senate:

    “When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‘Present’ or ‘Not guilty.'”

  15. Hey mespo727272:

    Bene,grazie. I’ve been distracted by the practice of criminal defense law. But I check in on all of you. I’ll get more active tomorrow as I watch the history unfolding on C-SPAN and you and I and the regulars share our insights on the process. I don’t think it’s going to be very pretty. I hope I am wrong and that Jonathan really gets a “fair shake” from the group. You know, sometimes all we trial lawyers really want is a fair hearing before a fair judge or jury. Time will tell…
