You can do anything with it. Ken and I are thinking about asking to host one of these, but they're booked so far out that the most likely themes would be the 75th anniversary of Calvin Coolidge's reelection, or America Recycles Day.

Broad enough for you? I was thinking I might use the theme “Valentine’s Day”, which would cover both romance and massacres.

Broad enough for you?

Or if you are, that it will be a theme so broad that you can link to anything, like "the presumption of innocence." Every blawgreview has a theme. Some are great (Randazza's Bill of Rights Day and Coleman's Chanukah, recently, come to mind), but most these days seem either to steer toward a niche or to be so contrived that they detract from the writing. On that note, I think your comments on the criminal lawyer's understanding of "not guilty" ("prove it"), should go into whatever you produce. Please Mark, tell me that you’re not going with a theme.
