Ruthie’s Law mentions my post titled “Curious George, Obama, and Race.”  Ruthie’s Law, written with that brilliant British bite, is the host for Blawg Review #160, which contains commentary on health law, same sex marriage, internal message boards, Internet bullying, and much, much more.

I’m A Pundit Too mentions my posts on “Would you  hire Hillary?” “Immigration: Cold as ICE” and “Curious George, Obama and Race.”  This “Carnival of Political Punditry” covers almost every issue you can think of.

Say Uncle links to my post on “Guns, Laws, and the Workplace,” as does Brillianter.com and Harris Bipods.  If you want to know all there is to know about guns and gun issues, coming from somewhat different perspectives, check out Say Uncle, Brillianter.com, and Harris Bipods.

Austin Counsel Lawyer Blog mentions my post on a change in New Jersey law allowing paid family leave.  Once the ‘08 election is done, an effort will undoubtedly be made to expand the federal Family and Medical Leave Act.  Should that effort fail, it’s like that additional states will consider legislation like that adopted in New Jersey.   Also, check out Austin Counsel Lawyer Blog for the summary of a strange case dealing with tongue studs and breathalyzers.

Outsider’s View mentions my posts titled “Mental Health and the Workplace” and “Would you hire Hillary?”  Check out this “carnival of political solutions” for one of the most diverse disscussions of political-related issues you’ll find anywhere.

That’s what she said gives us more to think about regarding this season’s final expisode of The Office.

Senator Edward Kennedy has, of course, been in the news a lot this week.  Regardless of what you think of his politics, he’s been one of the most effective legislators in modern history.  Check out the Delaware Employment Law Blog for a post about a few of pieces of employment legislation his mark is on.

Managing Leadership has one of the best, most thought-provoking Memorial Day posts you’ll find.

All Business has a great post about political discussions in the workplace.  While I agree they can be dangerous, I continue to hope that employers will use this election to engage employees in discussions about serious workplace issues that also happen to be issues in the presidential campaign.  You can’t just haul off and do it.  It takes a lot of planning and thought.  In my judgment, it’s worth a try this time around–as long as everyone handles it in a respectful way.  Also, check out a comment made by All Business about my post titled “Curious George, Obama, and Race.”

For a classic summer reading list, go to Cultural Offering.

Cultural Offering also provides its view on two presidential campaign issues that have occupied some space on my blog from time to time.

The ABA Journal weekly newsletter reports on disciplinary action taken against two Texas judges: one of whom had tried to engage an African-American lawyer in a discussion about slavery and, when the lawyer declined, made comments indicating that the lawyer’s client might not do too well in the judge’s court; and the second of whom had slapped a female lawyer’s butt twice at a party.  Suffice it say that should one of your supervisors do either of these things to an employee, he/she should also be disciplined.

Does the need for more flexibility at work correlate with more women and minorities in the workplace?  Check Workplace Prof Blog (May 22) for an answer.

What should be in your office survival kit?  Execupundit (May 23) has suggestions.

And now music from Cultural Offering.
