I wish I had known you while we were neighbors – I left central NY about 5 years ago for the warmer and red-statier climes of Tennessee. Happy to get to know you through your writings, and amazed that you maintain your dignity and sanity whilst living among the lefty loons who populate Ithaca!
Nice place ya got here. Comfy. Modern. None of those horrible karate-chop throw pillows. Just overstuffed soft leather chairs and Spartan surroundings.
Smaller blog list without mine, but I get that. Don’t blame ya!
btw Professor, got your quirky joke after my first attempt to post *__* …. or was that wee communication from your ‘support’ guy/gal …. anyway, I got told:
“slow down, you are posting to quickly” , so I had to back up and try again
LOL
(or was it, you are ‘typing’ too quickly, or you are ‘commenting’ too quickly? … I forget the actual wording)
Nice new digs, and I’m finally able to comment for the first time in a goon’s age. So now I’ve got “poster’s block,” and can’t think of a thing to say. Just keep up the good work, Professor.
Congratulations, it looks great! I wonder if my WordPress profile pic will show up here? I can’t figure out how to do it in my LI profile dashboard. Guess I’ll find out when I hit submit. 🙂
You have landed in Rockford, Illinois. Thanks for flying Legal Insurrection Air. We know you have a choice of carriers when flying, and we thank you! Be nice to your flight attendants, they are packing more heat than the Air Marshal sitting behind you…
Can we get to edit our remarks? What about likes? Can we get to pat each other on the butts? I forgot the ! at the end of my name, guess I’ll have to cancel my account and fix that.
Hurrah! Glad to see the new domain and site, Prof! One question, there doesn’t seem to be the ability in the WP accounts we create to upload a photo or avatar to be displayed with our comments. Is there something I’m not doing correctly?
I just registered and got the password and all the other rigaremole so will visit often and comment occasionally This looks really good and good luck professor.
@Mares from looking at source it looks like the avatar image is being pulled from Gravatar. The link is through your username and e-mail. If I have it right then mine will show up and if not….
Query: Can’t find an avatar insertion thingamajig on the profile page, except I see others already have theirs on board? Was it something I said?
Second query: This is “WordPress”, right? How come I have seven or more separate “WordPress” log-ins at various sites, all with the same user name, and none of them match-up to the others? By that I mean the avatars don’t interconnect and they each accept different passwords. But with identical user names. That seems weird. Again, was it something I said?
Wow, it’s really nice here. I wish you continued success. Your LI site was destiny waiting to happen for you. You have come so far, so fast. I see great things in store. I better hit the donation button again soon. Remember me as one of the early supporters when you get to Washington.
I’m sure I will grow to love it. But I must say I am missing the yellow background, and the posts being over on the right side instead of the left! What can I say? I hate change and am comforted by familiarity!
Today’s Washington Post “Free for All” is unusually interesting. Readers castigate The Post for its “Palin Witch Hunt”.
Also, someone rightly admonished a Post writer for employing the vulgar phrase “shot their wad” in an article.
Good God.
And regarding the obama administration’s suit to prevent Boeing from opening its already-paid-for 787 manufacturing plant in South Carolina, without affecting union workers in Washington State IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER:
(This story, at The Washington Post’s website, was published yesterday (17 June). Interesting that—-as of earlier today—-zero comments have been made. Usually inside-the-beltway liberals are all over political stories like this. One is moved to wonder if even liberals realize the stupidity and arrogance of this lawsuit, “just to help out unions”. What the NLRB is saying—-and this is explicit, not implicit—-is that companies, whose workforces are wholly or partially unionized, cannot open new facilities except in locations that are unionized. Think about that. This is what the obama administration is all about.)
November 2012 cannot come early enough for me. Period.
Oh, and by the way, Bill, congratulations on the new website.
Great New site, Professor! I found your blog in Feb and have been hooked ever since.
I just took the new site for a “test drive” and LOVE IT!
Great to have you and LI back befor Monday!
Looking forward to future visits to your wonderful site.
Very clean and strong, but I found the color of your old page very restful on the eyes after everyone else’s white. I will miss that. And I liked the content on the right rather than the left. Other than that . . . congrats. I read you every day.
Professor, love the new site. Please thank your gracious wife for sharing you with us. My morning routine: coffee, shower, Drudge, LI. I’d be lost without it.
Anyone using AOL to register, check your spam box because AOL views a message from WordPress as spam. If you registered but did not receive the password, that may be why.
Good job, Professor. I’m at the age where I don’t give a rat’s ass what the website looks like. You just keep doing what you’re doing, sir. Your website is in my top three daily, plus the daily mail and newsfeed. Gotcha covered, brother. Continued good luck with the site.
Using the old bookmark is now giving a cloud flare error instead of bringing one to this site (it was OK earlier in the day). I entered by clicking on your bookmark in your Twitter profile.
Comments
Just wanted to congratulate you on your new website.
Hey folks…we do have one issue with the comment form and user registration. Please hang in there while we sort that out. Should not be too long.
Ok, everything should be ship-shape. If you can, post a comment so we know it is working.
Looking good!
Ok–Where’s the champagne ?
Seems to be a success, Good luck and Good Blogging. I’ll be stopping by often. JgT out.

Okay, it finally came through. Five minutes is a long wait in the internet age for a password. 🙂
Awesome! Where’s the bar?

And the RSS feed is working correctly, too. ^.^
Aw, no “subscribe to comments” feature? *cry*
I like it!
Nice new digs, and I’m finally able to comment for the first time in a goon’s age. So now I’ve got “poster’s block,” and can’t think of a thing to say. Just keep up the good work, Professor.
Very nice! I should have brought a housewarming gift.
Fantastic!! Congratulatins!!
Congrats, Professor! Looking forward to more sanity and humor!

Pretty snazzy place you get here, Doc.
I hereby denounce this new format as racist.
[…] Professor William Jacobson of LegalInsurrection.com first blog post […]
@ Ed burns, ya might wanna set up the LI logo so it shows up in the browser address. just a helpful heads-up.
I put up an announcement for your grand opening at my blog, Professor 😉

Looks great!
Very nice new website, lovely clear design. Congratulations Professor, and kudos to your web designer.
I’d welcome your thoughts on Bond v U.S.http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/06/18/bond-v-u-s-a-most-important-victory-for-federalism/
Finished the registration – as a commenter I guess I’m “good to go” too.
Congratulations, it looks great! I wonder if my WordPress profile pic will show up here? I can’t figure out how to do it in my LI profile dashboard. Guess I’ll find out when I hit submit. 🙂
You have landed in Rockford, Illinois. Thanks for flying Legal Insurrection Air. We know you have a choice of carriers when flying, and we thank you! Be nice to your flight attendants, they are packing more heat than the Air Marshal sitting behind you…
Congratulations! I just recently discovered your website and love your writing. Wishing you great success on your new venture.
Nice new digs, but what’s this love affair with the color orange?
I’m here. You’re here too? The blog looks good. Congrats!
Reporting for duty to new base (hopefully to better effect than Lt. Kerry (ret.).
How do I set my avatar? Can’t find it. Thanks.
Can we get to edit our remarks? What about likes? Can we get to pat each other on the butts? I forgot the ! at the end of my name, guess I’ll have to cancel my account and fix that.
Oh, dude … check it out … it’s got a pool out back! And a treehouse!
And you kept the orange furniture! Love what you did with it.
LukeHandCool (who remembers the excitement as a child of exploring a new house)
Nice job, Sir. Fantastic look, very sharp. Look forward to many more years of visiting.
Welcome back, Professor!
Congrats on the new digs, Professor! Long time lurker, first time commenter.
Where’s the cake?
Hurrah! Glad to see the new domain and site, Prof! One question, there doesn’t seem to be the ability in the WP accounts we create to upload a photo or avatar to be displayed with our comments. Is there something I’m not doing correctly?
Thanks to all for the good wishes. This has been a long time coming.
@Mares – not sure, don’t really understand the commenting software too well myself, so maybe others can make suggestions.
@Foxfier – I’ll look into that.
@TheLastBrainLeft – well, it’s hard to break an old habit.
Welcome Back Professor…….Nice new look…….Good Luck!!
Mares, try this site: http://en.gravatar.com/
Hoping this is working straight (since I can’t get the gray word “Comment” to go away).
In my browser, the gadget just below the coffee cup is complaining about not being configured correctly.
I’d also like the ability to subscribe to comments (one of the good points about Blogspot, IMO).
Love the new look!
I just registered and got the password and all the other rigaremole so will visit often and comment occasionally This looks really good and good luck professor.
Cool…site looks good.
@Mares from looking at source it looks like the avatar image is being pulled from Gravatar. The link is through your username and e-mail. If I have it right then mine will show up and if not….
yippee, the registration went through! Congrats, Prof!
Site looks good.
An HTML check.
Hi Darleen. Testing for a link to your latest.

Here is to new beginnings. Cheers!
Now I can comment without using my wife’s google account
Very jazzy! I like it a lot. I’ll try to improve my behavior so that it is befitting of the classy new digs. At least for a week or so.
I’m sure I will grow to love it. But I must say I am missing the yellow background, and the posts being over on the right side instead of the left! What can I say? I hate change and am comforted by familiarity!
Hot dog! These are some classy new digs. I like. Keep up the good work, Professor!

Much easier to login and post. Thank you sir!
I have a great feeling about the new digs.

William I love it, thanks for the effort in creating this new site.

“Is anybody out there?” More people than you know. I am pleased to join.
OK, now I am in. How do I add an avatar?
Nice digs, Professor! Zesty, too. (As in the orange color.)
Congrats! Looks good. *s*
