i ended up taking more of a hiatus than i thought i would. i should start posting again later today.
meanwhile, in my absence, the court denied fox's motion to enjoin publication of al franken's book calling the motion "wholly without merit both factually and legally." the case has not been dismissed yet, but this is basically its death-knell, as far as i am concerned (the only fun part left in the case would be if franken or penguin (his publisher) go after fox for sanctions under FRCP 11(c)). not surprisingly, fox's coverage of the decision was, well, pretty paltry.
anyway, all i'm trying to get at before i start posting about other things is that now that good has triumphed over evil (at least in one particular courtroom), i am no longer either fair or balanced
UPDATE: i spoke too soon. fox has dropped the lawsuit. although there is still time for a franken and/or penguin to file a certain motion...
