Hi folks -- a couple of quick hits today:
* Following up on my entry on lawyers blogging, here's a Washington Post article featuring another blogging lawyer, with a twist: Adam Tiffen, a buttoned-down, self-described "nice Jewish boy" and DC lawyer, spent a year in Iraq deployed with the Maryland National Guard in Saba al-Bor, a town outside of Baghdad.
During his deployment, he kept a milblog, The Replacements [strong language] detailing his experiences -- check it out.
* Also of local interest: Ted Leonsis, AOL notable and Washington Capitals owner, talks about how the Caps have embraced bloggers, including giving a dozen bloggers press credentials, and generally encouraging and supporting the local sports blogging community.
Ted's always been pretty active and public with his support of online community and incorporating it into his sports ventures (ranging from participating in online chats, message boards, and even, yes, answering his e-mail), so this is strictly in character for him.
(Link via The Express -- it's another Post link, since it's their free, commuter-targeted daily)
* Via Wonkette (so, naturally, strong language warning applies): political pundit Tucker Carlson has a run-in with a blogging video store clerk. Guess who loses his job over it? (Three guesses, and the first two don't count.)
Thanks -- Joe

Meh... Tucker Carlson is a very tiny, yet very orange, mewling, little, self-important prat.
Still, I've got to admit, it's kind of fun watching this whacked-out Conservative pundits go so nutty when people point out that they're just not as important as they think they are. And, the real fun begins when, Heaven forbid, people demonstrate that they are perfectly capable of forming their own opinions without the incessant white-noise of their programmed chattering.
Aside from that, you know Tangerine Tucker is going to be coming for YOU now, don't you, Joe? But, don't worry, I got your back, man. hahaha... Just make sure you point out how ridiculously irrelevant he is, and maybe his color will change to a nice, friendly burnt sienna.

Either a dead man lied to me before his accident, or Ted still owes me a Caps away jersey.
More Ted laughs..... Ted was one of the judges who sent me to Texas in the All Star Blogger Contest. I don't know if you were in that department at the time, but you somehow missed being in on the panic loop when it came to be Game time and I couldn't get the portable computer thingy thing to work.

Thanks for all the links. It made for a good surf and a fairly decent (if I say so myself) entry for me:
