Hello. Maybe you’ve noticed me. I’ve been writing for 1262 days straight on a blog called Althouse. I’ve been writing law review articles for much longer than that. I’m a law professor at the University of Wisconsin and have been since 1984. But that sort of laboring over footnotes and transitions, with multiple edits and years between conception and publishing, is not, I think, where I’ve found my readers.

These days, I amuse or enrage about 12,000 readers a day, writing about whatever catches my attention � much of it law-related, some of it rather frivolous . . . even when it’s law-related.
