If we had known that Jonathan Friedan was constructing Blawg Review #103 around a baseball theme, we would have reminded him of f/k/a‘s recent mixture of our beathless punditry with one-breath poems from the new, critically-acclaimed volume Baseball Haiku (prior post) (for example, here, here, there). We might have even noted humbly that one of the poets included in the anthology is indeed a legal weblogger. Having missed that opportunity, your Editor doesn’t want you to miss out on Blawg Review #103 at Jonathan’s E-Commerce Law weblog.

As The Commmon Scold points out this morning, Jonathan has hit “a grand slam”, with a “very clever” blawg review “structured on key elements of the game.” Like every weekly edition of Blawg Review, #103 points to some of the best recent posting at law-related weblogs, including:
- Overlawyered.com‘s description of one teen’s looney lawsuit.
- Eric Goldman‘s lament over Utah’s streak of bad internet legislation (keyword ads this time)
- Law students musing over SuperLawyers at The Legal Scoop.

Jonathan also listed comic-lawyer Mad Kane’s seasonal poetic wail, Form 1040 Blues. That reminded us that we not only forgot to post Easter haiku yesterday, but we overlooked our fertile discussion a year ago of the lost Dickens manuscript of An Easter Carol, in the posting “ghosts of tax days past (Scrooge was surely a tax-whiner)”.

Easter morning…
the toddler stumbles upon
his first temptation

we uproot the weeds
from the base of her headstone
