Speaking of lawsuits and subpoenas and all that...you know there's an anonymous NY blogger named Orthomom who's being sued (actually, Google is being sued to reveal her identity so that the plaintiff can then sue the blogger...or something) by a disgruntled School Board politician named Pamela Greenbaum who doesn't like some of the names she was called on the blog (actually, in the comments)? Yeah, it's true. Orthomom fisks the complaint, here, which isn't a bad place to start.

The Jewish blogs have been all over this, but it's not really a Jewish issue. This is the kind of use of the courts that goes on all the time in other countries where free speech (calling someone ugly and an anti-Semite are matters of opinion and protected speech here in the US of A) is not so well protected. Win or lose, court fights are expensive, time consuming and stressful. Here's to hoping P. Greenbaum loses and has to pay expenses.
