Vote China Law Blog. Pretty Please.

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

The ABA Journal (the official publication of the American Bar Association, the leading group for American lawyers, not tavern owners) recently named China Law Blog as one of the top 100 law blogs in the World. Well actually the world of American lawyer blogs, but as long as George Bush remains President, and he will through the duration of the blog election, I do not think it a stretch to say it is of "the world." Anyway, the top 100 thing is nice, but we think we can do better. The Journal has divided the blogs up into some rather funky divisions to encourage mano a mano blog warfare in a fight to the death for the right to bear the ABA seal for one (or in our case, another) year. Not quite sure what the value of the seal is, but I sure as hell know I want it. Real bad. And though as a lawyer, I am compelled to mention that past history is no guarantee of future success, I would be remiss if I did not instruct you to look to your right and remember that we won the election last year and there must have been some reason for that. Right now, South Florida Lawyers is shaping up as our chief competition and it does worry me a bit as I am compelled to respect any blog (particularly a legal blog) that has a picture of Barbara Eden. There were years where we could not begin our after school basketball games until I Dream of Jeannie had ended. Fortunately, we here at CLB planned for this day by putting up our own picture here that we an all agree trumps even Barbara Eden. And excuse my dissing, but if SF Lawyers Blog were really so big and bad, why does it stay anonymous? And how can one vote for a blog with such lack of guts and vision that it cannot even stake out a whole state? We here at China Law Blog take on an entire country, with 1.3 billion people. Surely that counts for something. So vote now. Vote later. Vote often. And tell your friends and frenemies to vote also. With your help, we will get through this and we will prevail. And remember, as long as the election remains close, you will have to put up with these posts (and maybe even emails) and so if you can vault us comfortably to the top, we may spare you just a little bit.
