It doesn’t sound quite as good as “on the cover of The Rolling Stone.”
A reader emailed me a photo of a NY Times front page story today in which I am quoted.

I’ll never forget my one and only visit to a heroin shooting gallery.
It was my first summer of law school, and I was working at the Manhattan (New York County) District Attorney’s Office. It didn’t pay much; we were paid $100 a week, in crisp $100 bills handed out at the...
Bernie Sanders has done plenty of favors for Hillary in this election cycle but instead of having his good will returned, he’s coming up against the Clinton smear machine.

A reader alerted Professor Jacobson that Legal Insurrection and I got a mention on the Mark Levin Show. Naturally we tracked down the mention in order to crow about it and share it with you loyal readers (but mostly to crow about it).
In fairness, it’s probably more accurate to say that...
I was a guest earlier today on The Craig Silverman Show on 710 KNUS in Denver.
For almost 20 minutes we talked about the use or refusal to use the term “radical Islam,” Obama’s world view and foreign policy, Jesse Watters’ visit to Cornell, and the vote at the American Anthropological Association...

My column at USA Today, Time to talk about gun free zones, is gaining a lot of attention, with over 6600 shares, plus over 11,000 shares at The Blaze which excerpted the column.
I’ve enjoyed reading the comments, most of which are along the line of this comment at The Blaze:

Yesterday a Texas teenager, who happens to be a Muslim, brought a homemade clock to school and was arrested because the clock was mistaken for a bomb. Some people are blaming racism but zero tolerance policies are the real problem.
NBC News reports that he won’t be charged:
No Charges For Ahmed Mohamed,...
On Thursday night, September 3, 2015, I was a guest on the Todd Herman Show on KTTH 770 AM in Seattle.

“In this case, their entire theory...
