Vote China Law Blog. Because We Don't Want Anyone Else To Win.

I hate blog contests. Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. They are just popularity contests for the well-established blogs, and as such, they inherently favor blogs on more mainstream topics. A China law blog ought to be able to beat a Palau law blog every time, regardless of any quality differential.?

So for years, we have made absolutely no effort to get in on any blog competitions nor once chosen, have we made any effort to prevail. In fact, our standard operating procedure is to ask the blog contests to remove our name. You should either like us or not; our popularity with others should be irrelevant.?

Having said all this, I freely admit to being a hypocrite in that there is one blog competition in which we keep competing and that is the ABA (American Bar Association) Journal competition. I guess my excuse is that it is so prestigious among lawyers that I went along with it the first year and then when we won in our category, it became addictive. We have been in that competition for all three years and we have won in our category all three years.?

I was planning to ignore it this year and with less than two weeks left in the competition, we have made absolutely no mention of it anywhere. But now I just can't take it any more. The thought of anyone else winning this competition is really bugging me and so I have decided to make a late effort to try to win it. Four years would be so nice.

And for that we really really need your help. ?

So if you have enjoyed this blog please go here and register and then go here and vote for China Law Blog. You do NOT need to be a member of the American Bar Association to register, nor do you need to be a lawyer.

Thanks much.

Jeff Bridges Shaves His Beard For An SNL Promo, Because Why Not?

Until he was convicted in 2008, Jack Abramoff was a wearer of many hats: Washington lobbyist supreme, bedfellow of right-wing creeps like Tom DeLay and Ralph Reed, bilker of Indian nations, sometime film producer, restaurateur, observant Jew. Within the past…

Son of official Chinese Government uses because to cut short to innocent students down. There, I said it.

I like 99.9% of our readers and hate one percent. Than others. 01% understands pretty two people whose comments I almost every day and I always delete the comment.

One of these people is constantly complains about our lack of coverage of the India and assigns it to my other Indians.This guy (I guess it's a guy) for any reason any seems to understand that it is a blog on the law of China, not on India .Dude, if you want more the India, I suggest you start your own blog just India.

The other person is always leave comments completely irrelevant to the position, tackle to ignore the Chinese people doing everyday things horribles.Cette person believes that whenever someone in China is something awful (as of kindergartners stems) I should use as an opportunity to write about the decline of society China caused by an economy which submits the (tongue, mine not) and my inability to write about these things means I complicit with beholden to the Chinese Government I wrote an email calm and somewhat rational to the e-mail address, that person uses his (yet again, I guess it's a male) comments, but - no surprise - proved to his e-mail address be false.I have just a comment from him today, stressing my cowardice of failing to report on the manner in which the son of some Chinese Government apparatchik somewhere had Faucher a student with his car.

I do not write such things, because although I find their incredibly interesting from a psychological perspective (I was for many years, hooked to the true crime books), I do not think that they provide an overview of China and I myself do not understand everything real to provide these soit.La type incidents China has 1.3 billion people, and that means that it will produce a number of horrific people do horrible things YH ' I just figure that our readers is fully include only and do not need some lawyer saying that.

I don't know what else to say...
