What is a law dork?
Law Dork is Chris Geidner's blog. I am back in Washington, D.C., where I am the senior political writer at Metro Weekly. [Here's my bio.] This blog is my personal space, where I write about LGBT issues, regulation and regulators, the Obama administration and whatever passing matters catch my fancy. You also should follow me on Twitter.
What I write is my opinion and my opinion alone. This blog does not represent the views of any associated clients, colleagues, publications or bosses past, present or future. Please, however, do send me your ideas, thoughts or news.-
