Yeesh, the Nets Provide Yet Another Distraction (JM)

I am not sure how I went blissfully unaware of this for the last week or so, but Slate has a new law blog up, Convictions. There are several posters including Eric Posner, Jack Balkin, Marty Lederman and Slate's own Emily Bazelton and Dahlia Lithwick. It's great, addictive and highly recommended. For those of you who are Balkinization (where Balkin and Lederman already do excellent legal blogging) obsessed like I am, you will still find Slate's blog a bit different, a bit lighter, but overall excellent quality and highly recommended.

Reason #221243234 That I Love Dahlia Lithwick (JM)

For those of you who don't know me, and most who do, I am a bit Dahlia Lithwick obsessed, she is the generally intelligent and thoughtful legal analyst for Slate. What's more is she is incredibly witty and incisive and writes fake break up letters to Barack Obama. So really this is just a public service announcement, read her stuff, it's worth it.
