Dahliahoowa!

Dahlia Lithwick's been my favorite writer over at Slate since, like, forever, because hey: I'm a guy who enjoys legal arcana and hates Alberto Gonzalez, so why not! She clerked, I believe, for Judge Procter Hug, which is just the best name for a judge anywhere in the world. Also: she's a fan of the Venn Diagram, especially this one. So I was excited to see her on Maddow last night. I got a post out of it, too! So win, win.

Of course, I had no idea just how far in the tank I could get, until I rewatched the tape and saw what was sitting on the shelf behind her.



Obviously, this is the type of decor with which one can be proudly associated.
