Davies on Precedential Piglet and Pooh @horacefuller @GB2d

Ross E. Davies, George Mason University Law School; The Green Bag, is publishing Precedential Piglet and Pooh in Re-Readings VII The Green Bag 1 (2022). Here is the abstract.
Defunct Supreme Court precedents should be called “Woozles” and decisions that followed those defunct precedents should be called “Wizzles.” Here's why. Note: "This work is (or will be) published by the Green Bag (www.greenbag.org), which hopes you will find it useful."

Wonder Woman Loses Powers As Honorary U.N. Ambassador For Female Empowerment

Wonder Woman has ended her stint as an honorary U.N. ambassador for female empowerment, just two months after she got the job. For some, the red, white, and blue-clad cartoon heroine was a poor substitute for the woman they wished had taken the position as head of the United Nations, a post that went to Antonio Guterres earlier this year. (Here's a link to the original UN press release about WW's appointment).

Ms. Woman, whose alter ego is Diana Prince, created by William Marston, isn't the first fictional character to hold a U.N. post. Others include Red from the Angry Birds, Tinker Bell, and my favorite, Winnie the Pooh.
