* It's hard to believe this car was parked in Brooklyn, of all places. [Althouse]
* The law school hiring process privileges glibness -- and is that a bad thing? Law professors are hired (1) to train lawyers, of all people, and (2) to write articles that sound like they're saying a lot, even when they're not. Glibness would seem to be a BFOQ. [PrawfsBlawg]
* Once our Surgeon General starts getting on our case about drinking, it's time to leave the country. But don't move to the U.K. [Charon QC: The Blawg]
* Speaking of emigration, Tonga says: "Give us your tired, your poor, your disgraced and disbarred lawyers, yearning to breathe free." [Blogonaut]
* Good news, Pennsylvanians. According to Professor Orin Kerr, "you can scream at your overflowing john all you want without violating the state's disorderly conduct offense." [Volokh Conspiracy]
* Martindale-Hubbell ratings: Pay to play? We find them less useful than they might otherwise be because so many lawyers aren't rated. Will charging a fee for inclusion exacerbate the problem? [Real Lawyers Have Blogs; HireTrade Blog]
* Thoughts on the Eighth Circuit fantasy baseball ruling (mentioned in Morning Docket), from Professor Neil Richards. [Concurring Opinions]
* Dionne Warwick is a tax deadbeat? Say it ain't so! [TaxProf Blog]
* Have a favorite New York blawg / blawger? Vote for them here. [Sui Generis]

David: can't you remove the sequence posts???!!!
Really Lat, enough is enough!!!
I see that 'Orenthal Simpson
Miami, FL 33176' owes the FTB $1.4M in back personal income taxes.
What are the odds of collecting on that lien?
"BFOQ"?
BFOQ= bona fide occupational qualification. Allows you to discriminate on some things when hiring. Learned that today, oddly.
Also, Kerr was my crim pro prof. Cool guy.
Do you think that Dionne Warwick saw this coming from her affiliation with the Psychic Friends Network.
Hey 5:09 - ELEVENTH!!!!!!!!
Re: Volokh post on disorderly conduct: Does this mean that Larry Craig is innocent?
The truth hurts...and the owner of that VW parked in what appears to be Brooklyn Heights is about to find out just how much, b/c as long as the sun will rise tomorrow that car will be vandalized.
Those residents speak loudly and carry a big stick. And lets just say they only recognize 25 letters in the alphabet in those parts.
6:18, hilarious.... Thanks.
Lat, Lat, Lat, you don't even -- you're glib.
You should be a law professor.
Lat,

That Marine VW is hilarious. The driver claims to have fought for our "Freedo" in Iraq.
