Better than Foie Gras
Hm, methinks that the AG, Alberto Gonzalez (I didn’t notice that his
initials are actually “AG” until now, how fitting), is trying to earn
his conservative druthers with a crusade against pron. Why else would he pull people off the child crimes unit in coketastic Miami to fight material featuring adults:
Sources say Acosta was told by the FBI officials
during last month’s meeting that obscenity prosecution would have to be
handled by the crimes against children unit. But that unit is already
overworked and would have to take agents off cases of child
endangerment to work on adult porn cases. Acosta replied that this was
Attorney General Gonzales’ mandate.

This may be a more important battle, with both $$ and prurient
interests at stake than the legal foie gras wars. What a way to become a
First Amendment lawyer!

Edit: New knowledge acquired this weekend: one can use interoffice mail
to send packages to one’s friends in NYC; just have them pick up the
delivery at the Reception Desk in NYC. If the recipients work at
a big NYC firm, they’ll probably be able to send over a messenger.
