That's what I've got to write right now. I want to write blog posts and read comments, but I must go generate some MSM words. Look for an update by 3 saying I've done it. The visualization of that update here helps me somehow!
UPDATE at 2:54 p.m.: Done! Now, for some blogging! And maybe even a little "Eleventh Amendment fisking" -- my personal specialty!

Blogs can be quite addicting ...
I'm up to 600....
There's nothing quite like a deadline to focus the mind. Happy writing!
Actually, don't billable hours have the opposite effect, encouraging people to drag and pad, at least when their compensation is based (either in whole or in part) on the number of hours they bill? Example--I don't get a bonus unless I bill 2K hours. I could focus and do something in an hour, or be less focused and go slower. I have a perverse incentive to go slower.
Matt, you are so right. It's the number one thing I hated about working in a law firm. Being fast turned into a negative!

God, that sounds sexy!

But that's easy: just write more.
Then you can bill with a clear conscience!
Mind you, 1200 words is not mincemeat...

Blog! Blog! Blog!
Those desiring an "eleventh amendment fisking" from Ann Althouse should form an orderly procession to U-Wisconsin.
Joking aside, I'm rather looking forward to what I think this article is going to be, not least because my own feelings about the 11th Amendment (and sovereign immunity in whole, which I think are necessarily divisible questions) are very much in flux.
I'm going to channel a bit of the Donald's personality for a moment, apologizing in advance:
"You can fisk my 11th anytime you want to, baby"
(I feel dirty now, again sorry, and that doesn't make any sense, but it's still funny)
