After somewhat of a lull, there’s a new public defender blog on the scene: Preaching to the choir. The url reads “rants of a public defender”. From the first post:
Over the years, my rants have continued, though with (slightly) less frequency and with a changing audience. My mom still hears many of my rants, but she doesn’t get the daily dose. Instead, my friends and co-workers get to hear some of them. But since I’m a bleeding-heart liberal public defender whose closest friends are also bleeding-heart liberal public defenders, I’m still not doing much to change hearts and minds. More often than not, my rants are met with a reminder that I am preaching to the choir. As a committed public defender working on capital cases, I’m still not all talk. I do fight against many of the things that outrage me, but it never feels like enough.
So now I’ve thought that I should take my rants to the internet. My like-minded friends, family, and co-workers might get a break from my rabit rantings. If only they all knew how many I hold inside! And maybe, just maybe, someone who doesn’t already agree with me will stumble upon one of my rants and think about things a little bit differently. At least, I can hope so.
The blog has been added to the blogroll and blog guide.
