The Volokh Conspiracy

Mostly law professors | Sometimes contrarian | Often libertarian | Always independent

Volokh Conspiracy

I'm Reminded of These Leonard Cohen Lines [NOTE CRUCIAL UPDATE]

|The Volokh Conspiracy |


So the great affair is over
but whoever would have guessed
it would leave us all so vacant
and so deeply unimpressed

(Full lyrics, that are otherwise not at all apropos.)

UPDATE (Feb. 5, 8:18 pm Eastern): I hereby decree, 50 comments into the thread, that all further responses to this post must themselves be quotes from songs.

FURTHER UPDATE: Vast improvement!
