Freaking out over options.

Office Hours: Beware the Cornel West factor
His third-party candidacy could give the presidency to Trump

Cornel West a threat to Biden?

Not hardly. You really have to be a paleo boomer to believe that. A West canidacy is going nowhere.

The political left is starting to really freak out about third party runs right now, fearing that they'll take votes away from Biden. The right is sitting on their hands on this, with Trump solidly in the lead, unfortunately, in the GOP. But if they start to build, Trump will turn his weird diction on them for the same reason.

All of which is part of the reason that the nation appears to be slated for an election between two ancient bad choices.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
