Blogger John Palfrey appointed Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard

It is with great pleasure that I share this news.  John is a terrific guy, a prolific blogger, and a genuine leader in the field of Internet Law as well as the Web 2.0 revolution.

What Terry Fisher and the others don’t say is that this
appointment is to the FIRST Clinical Professorship of Law at Harvard
Law School. so this represents an institutional accomplishment for the
law school, as well as a personal one for John and a departmental one
for the Berkman Center for Internet & Society.

Actually, this is also an accomplishment for bloggers, given
that John is either the first or one of the first serious bloggers to
become a full member of the faculty.

To all Berkman Center staff and fellows:

On
Thursday, the law school faculty voted to appoint John Palfrey as a
Clinical Professor of Law.  It’s a rather extraordinary
accomplishment, especially for someone so early in his career.
Extraordinary, but richly deserved.  I hope you will all join us
in offering John congratulations — and best wishes in his new position.

Hilary: “a political animal who believes she has to be a war hawk to keep up with the big boys.” says Cindy Sheehan

Check this out from WorldNetDaily.

Cindy Sheehan, the so-called “peace mom” on a crusade to end
U.S. involvement in the Iraq war, is publicly blasting Sen. Hillary
Clinton, D-N.Y., for her continued support of the ongoing conflict.

“I think she is a political animal who believes she has to be a war hawk to keep up with the big boys,” Sheehan writes in an open letter posted on anti-Bush filmmaker Michael Moore’s website.
“I would love to support Hillary for president if she would come out
against the travesty in Iraq. But I don’t think she can speak out
against the occupation, because she supports it. I will not make the
mistake of supporting another pro-war Democrat for president again: As
I won’t support a pro-war Republican.”

“I believe that the intelligent thing for Democrats to do
for 2006 and 2008 would be to come out strongly and correctly against
the botched, bungled, illegal, and immoral occupation of Iraq,” Sheehan
added.
