Ladies and gentlemen ... the President of Wild Wild Law! [Applause]Thank you, thank you. [Standing Ovation] Oh, thank you ... please be seated. Good morning. Today, in lieu of our usual open thread, I wanted to take a moment to address the current and future state of our little legal rag. [Applause]
First, I would like to thank you all for your comments. You have some great suggestions, and we are listening. [Applause]
We have been working for a couple weeks on contacting candidates for judicial office and hope to present a weekly feature sometime in the near future where everyone will be given ample opportunity to comment on each of our prospective judges. We appreciate the feedback (both good and bad), and ask that you keep it coming. [Applause]
I view this blog as belonging to the legal community, or at least those of us who are petty enough to enjoy a little schadenfreude. We on this end of the keyboard are simply conversation starters, it's really your comments that make this blog great. [Applause]
We want this to be a place where lawyers and legal staff can feel free to talk about the issues that non-lawyers have no interest in. A place where you can start an actual intellectual discussion, without facing the wrath of the crazies who inhabit the comments of our local papers. [Applause ... TFML mouthes the words "Not true"]
Also, to pull back the curtain a little bit, we are not trying to be ATL or the WSJ Law Blog. Perhaps the biggest difference between those blogs and us is that we don't get paid to do this. That, and we are working with a much smaller canvass; being strictly focused on Nevada antics. We have the same draining document-reviewing, deposition-conducting, calendar-call-attending jobs as most of you. Therefore, try to understand when we take a little break from posting when nothing interesting is going on. [Some jackoff yells: "You suck donkey balls!"]
On that point, some of the greatest stories we've done on this blog have been the result of your tips, so please keep them coming. We don't enjoy posting stories about how much Krolicki paid in legal fees any more than you enjoy reading them, but sometimes we throw something up when things are slow just to keep the conversation going. [Crickets, confused looks, same guy yells out "Liar!"]
That being said, if any of you feel that you have Nevada legal gossip chops, please send us an inquiry. We'd be happy to offer you a spot so that you may try your hand at the wonderful world that is anonymous legal blogging. [Applause]
I'm happy to provide a forum for legal discussion. I personally read every comment and email you submit. I'm just as big of a fan of this blog as you guys are ... I just happen to be the one in the driver's seat of this RV party bus.
So that, my friends, is the current State of the Blog. In summation:
- Judicial candidate posts coming soon
- We love your comments
- No hot news = no hot posts
- Your tips make this blog
- Less crazies = more better
- Now hiring
Thank you and God bless. [Applause ... fade to black]
Disembodied voice: "I'm Joe Law, and I approve this message."
