Someone just called me to tell me about something that might “pick” (instead of pique) my interest.
People who say “mute” instead of “moot,” as in, “that idea is now mute.”
Also people who say “re-la-tor” instead of “realtor”. Idiots. Idiots. People. I hate ’em. (this latter line is, of course, a take-off of the Outland cartoon where Opus the penguin hears some crotchety old curmudgeon walk by fuming and saying, “Left wingers, I hate ’em!” while Opus looks down at this left wing in bepuzzlement).
My latest book is Online Contract Formation. It went to the printer today, and is published this month by Oceana. Gives practical advice about legal issues related to formation of contracts through online means, from a multi-jurisdictional perspective….
Forthcoming probably December is International Investment Political Risk and Dispute Resolution: A Practitioner’s Guide.
Recent article: Frank van Dun, Against Libertarian Legalism: A Comment on Kinsella and Block, J. Libertarian Studies, Vol. 17 Num. 3 (Summer 2003); my reply: “Reply To Van Dun: Non-Aggression and Title Transfer” [see more recent post here]
Despite their age or surface-level looks, the following women are not hot at first glance, but who are actually kind of sexy if you think about it, in a certain way. Note this list does NOT include obviously hot babes. Only women who are “surprisingly” hot–that is, the fact that they are kind of attractive is kind of surprising:
- Susan Estrich
- Martha Stewart
- Barbara Walters
- Barbra Streisand
- Christiane Amanpour
- Lindsay Wagner
- Tereza Heinz Kerry
- Laurie Metcalf (the sister in Roseanne)
- Allison Janney (from West Wing and also the starfish Peach in Finding Nemo)
- Jeanine Garofolo
- Barbara Branden
Now here are women who do not seem hot on first impression–and this impression is correct:
- Candy Crowley
- Laura Bush (her daughters are another story)
- Madeleine Albright
- Hillary Clinton (Chelsea is another matter altogether. Yes.)
- Bella Abzug
- Ayn Rand
- Gloria Allred
- Linda Evans
- Joan Collins
- Suzanne Somers
Now there are of course many “smokin’ hot” babes who are obviously hot–too obviously hot to be included in the category of “surprisingly hot”:
- Naomi Wolf
- Paula Zahn (though some strangely call her “toothy”?)
- some of the FoxNews and CNN babes: E.D. Hill, Kirin Chetry, Lauren Green, and Soledad O’Brien.
Query: Where does Isabella Rosselini fall? Linda Hamilton? Barbara Eden? Difficult to classify.

I despise when people use the word “coed”. I don’t think I’ve ever found a need to use it. It’s about as useful as the word “ontology”. I mean what is this, the fricking 1950s? Why would a female student be called a Co-ed? Stupid.
