Says the summons that came in the mail today:<\/p>\n

\n\tDEAR JUROR:<\/p>\n

\tYou have been selected for jury duty. Welcome!<\/p>\n

\tYour mandated participation in jury service…[and so on].\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t get me wrong. I’m 100% for<\/i> due process (A big ole yes<\/i>
\nto justice, I say). But can you imagine a more onerous scheduling system
\nthan this? "You must call 671-1010 each evening after 5:00 p.m. starting on
\nFriday 1\/12\/2006 and listen for a recorded message." The friendly bot on
\nthe other end of the connection, I guess, tells me whether I’m supposed to
\nreport to the courthouse on the following morning. Still worse, I’m
\nteaching online<\/i> this spring and getting going on the diss, which means
\nthat I can’t very well bother my employer for a work accommodation. Excused
\nbecause I blog? Possibly, but I’d have to actually post to this thing from time
\nto time and broach more scandalous topics than I’m usually inclined to take up.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if the phone’s busy next Friday evening after 5:00 p.m., you’ll know
\nwho I’m talking with. And may you, too, celebrate a jurisprudent 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
