You get what you pay for
Portland Monthly keeps sending me free copies of its magazine. I think it's because I'm a member of the Oregon State Bar. Last week, while cleaning out a crowded snail mail in-box, I discovered the January issue, featuring another inane "list" -- the 339 top doctors in Portland. Why send this to all the lawyers? So they can figure out whom to sue next?
There was also an analysis of sorts of Tom Potter's first two years as Portland mayor. Executive summary: He hasn't done much, the failed school tax thing was embarrassing, and his abrupt turnaround on the steamy Foxworth e-mails was puzzling. That's it? Don't stay up nights waiting for my $4.99 to read more of that, folks.
Anyway, I see the new issue is a "list" of bars. Wow. Even in the checkout line at Fred Meyer, I'm going with Britney.

Why would you make the comment about lawyers using the magazine to determine which doctors to sue?
What classes do you teach at the law school? Should we have a list of the most obnoxious and clueless law professors?

Geez, for an attorney, you've sure got a thin skin. It must be positively debilitating to endure all those other lawyer jokes out there.
Some of which, including Jack's, are pretty darn funny.
How sad.

Perhaps you should also look into obtaining a list of blogs from which you are not banned.

Portland Monthly is the most un-Portland thing I've seen. I look in it and recognize nothing of the city I actually live in (or rather, next to).

Jack--
I read the Potter piece in Portland Monthly in preparation for my interview with the mayor this week on Outlook Portland with Nick Fish.
We discuss his record, the case for and against changing the charter, and his future political plans.
When I asked Potter to grade his performance to date, he gave himself a "B." No grade inflation here!
