We were busy — busy! — on Friday, publishing as many posts on a single day as we have in the history of this little experiment.
We promise not to burden you (or us!) like that again.
This morning, we’ll just note the Defense Research Institute’s entry into the blogosphere and then relax. Welcome to

Our Kingdom For A Post (On The Levine Argument)
Neither of us will be attending the oral argument in Wyeth v. Levine on Monday.
We’re looking for a volunteer — someone who’s attending the argument and who can provide us with a guest post describing the affair on Monday afternoon.
If you’re willing and able, please contact us off-line.
(We will, of course, read…
Our Terrible Twos!
The Drug and Device Law Blog turns two today!
We’re feeling our age.
Last year, when we turned one, we threw a party. This year, we’re turning philosophical.
We think that “blog years” are like “dog years.” They don’t correspond to the human lifespan or the time it takes for the earth to circle the…
Welcome, ABA Journal Readers!
We were pleased to see that the November issue of the ABA Journal, in the article titled “Pre-emption Prescription,” did not merely quote one of your humble scribes, but also referred to our little experiment as “the authoritative Drug and Device Law blog.”
We knew we were something, but we were struggling to come up…
Okay, We’ll Play: 5 Blogs and 5 Blawgers.
Yesterday, we were ignorant.
Today, we’re still ignorant, but at least we know where the words “meme” and “Internet meme” come from. You can click through those links for all the details, but here’s the money quote from Wikipedia’s definition of an “Internet meme”:
“At its most basic, an Internet meme…
Reverse Parlay
The public relations folks are often trying to parlay small items in the blogosphere into important coverage in the print media.
We ran a different experiment.
We’ve watched how our book review that originally appeared in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal has since been picked up in the blogosphere.
Thanks to the Pharm Exec blog, the…

Seidel Subpoena (vaccine-autism blog) Quashed
We posted yesterday that Public Citizen had volunteered to represent Kathleen Seidel in her attempt to quash a subpoena seeking all of the records relating to her blog, which offends plaintiffs’ lawyers in the vaccine litigation.
Seidel reported last night at her neurodiversity blog that the subpoena has been quashed (and sanctions threatened), although apparently…
Hear, hear, Public Citizen!
We don’t often type the words that comprise the title of today’s post.
Given the opportunity, we just couldn’t resist.
Kathleen Seidel hosts the neurodiversity.com blog, in which she critiques the evidence supporting, and litigation over, whether vaccines cause autism. Seidel sees no link, which naturally infuriates the plaintiffs’ bar.
Earlier this month, Clifford Shoemaker,…
