Nick—come on, you have to ask? You are obviously unfamiliar with this Chun guy and with his ways…

All people who graduated from Yale are very intelligent. Ah, Chun, that syllogism has its very own black swan: George W. Bush. And I’m sure that with time I could come up with a fair list of dumb Yale grads. Or were you being ironic? In which case, good show.

MC - while I concede that you have the right to alter the amount of garlic in a recipe to suit your own taste (little-known clause in the 1st Amendment), the long cooking time will render the garlic flavor deep and smooth rather than pungent. And if everyone eats it, everyone will smell the same anyway.

All people who graduated from Yale are very intelligent. Glenn Reynolds graduated from Yale. Therefore, Glenn Reynolds is very intelligent. Also, Our market economy rewards importance with money. Law professors are well-paid. Therefore, law professors are important.

Delicious, easy recipe. May I suggest adding an anchovy filet, or a little paste, during the cooking? And have a second bottle of red wine available (to make up for what went in to the pot). Bon appetit (“Tish, that’s French!” kisses up her arm…)

Ah, the ol’ “Barlow Recipe Smokescreen”. To wit: Now in a cup dissolve two packs of yeast/ Let it stand and then prepare the feast/ Quarter cup of sugar, of flour four/ Mix it up and let it stand some more/ Get two greasy pans, oil top of dough/ Let it rise and when all systems go/ Cook it 25 minutes at 400 degrees/ Sometimes I cut it up and eat with cheese!

My suspicion is that Prof. G. might have trouble writing a peer-reviewed article these days without using ‘heh’, ‘indeed’ and a series of citations to Mickey Kaus and James Taranto. The thing is, Reynolds (like other legal academics) is unlikely to write peer-reviewed articles under any circumstances. Law teachers typically publish in law reviews. Their articles are reviewed not by peers but by students. And the review is somewhat formal. There’s a bit more to it than mere blue-booking (during the fracas over that Harvard Law School student getting it all wrong about Intelligent Design, somebody, somewhere, posted a useful explanation of what goes into cite-checking). But articles don’t get shot down in flames because the student-editors think them wrong. (In my own long-ago law review days, I edited an article on the 2d amendment. The author reached a conclusion that I thought fundamentally wrong; but my remit didn’t extend to proposing the article be rejected on that count. Interestingly, another prominent 2d amendment scholar (and now blogger) later took the author to task for his conclusion; correctly, I thought, though I generally disagree with much of what that scholar says.) I admit, though, that I am entranced by the notion of Reynolds submitting a paper to Nature. (‘An organism is unlikely to survive when a majority – or even a large and angry minority – of its cells is undergoing apoptosis.‘)

“Michael, can you review Hodgkin vs. the United States?” “Yes. Hodgkin was accused of larceny -” “Wait. You are neglecting the very similar case of Jenkins vs. the United States, where Jenkins was accused of murder. Heh. Please incorporate this into your argument. Continue.”

I can’t speak for fellow Timberites about their opinion of Reynolds. I can say that since he’s a professor at an academic institution, our policy is to give him a link.

Nah, that would definitely be an academic freedom violation Perhaps, but Reynolds’ faculty page also shows no single-authored articles of his published since 2001, which, coinkidinkly, is when he started his blog. Ain’t tenure sweet? My suspicion is that Prof. G. might have trouble writing a peer-reviewed article these days without using ‘heh’, ‘indeed’ and a series of citations to Mickey Kaus and James Taranto. It’s not like riding a bike…

I’m actually really interested to know whether Ted’s view of Glenn Reynolds is shared by the majority of CT’s posters (not commenters). My understanding of a blogroll is that it’s a list of other blogs the blogroller may not endorse or agree with but at the very least thinks are worth reading. Is Reynolds’ listing in the CT blogroll merely a courtesy (since Reynolds links to CT)?
