This year’s competition for the top opinion blog by the American Bar Association has become an intense race between our blog and one of the largest conservative legal blogs, Volokh Conspiracy. Even though VC is one of the largest blogs in the country, we are only a couple of dozen votes away with voting closing on December 31st. We need every vote so please spread the word to civil libertarians and others that we need their support to pull off the ultimate David and Goliath victory.
We are currently one of the most visited civil liberties blogs in the country. We often conflict with VC on issues like privacy and Supreme Court cases. That ideological difference makes this year’s competition even more intense. You can vote at this site by clicking on the “opinion” category and we need your vote. A quick registration is needed to prevent cheating in the competition.
Please spread the word and let’s see if we can close the remaining gap. While I respect our counterparts at VC, we deserve this honor. After all, to paraphrase Stuart Smalley, “We’re good enough, we’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like us!”

Mike,
That worm isn’t from the bottom of a bottle is it?
Brian,
You read us everyday, where could you possibly get the idea that any of us express political views?
Muab’dib,
The worm has turned.
Elaine,
How in hell am I supposed to get that limerick image out of my mind?
Hilarious Elaine!
Otteray, rafflaw, et al,
Speaking of library paste, here’s a limerick on the subject. I didn’t write it.
There once was a couple named Kelly
Who went through life belly to belly
Because in their haste
They used library paste
Instead of petroleum jelly.
Great Elaine,
I love that Limerick.
I remember that from when i was a kid. I hadn’t thought of it for years…..and maybe years….
Thanks Gene.
raff,
You know I’ve got your back and you’ve got my vote, fellow GB.
