Professor Emerson,  Here's one other entry you may want to add to add 
to your survey:

The New York Times
"To Sir With Love"
Maureen Dowd
p. A27
Wed, October 12, 2005

"How can I thank you, Sir?  I never, never expected the Supreme 
Court.  Phat!  I hope Clarence doesn't make me watch 'Debbie Does 
Dallas" again.  That movie is so anti-Texan!  I miss you already!

But now I will be able to serve your interests -- and those of your 
family -- forever and ever.  If there's another recount that you need 
help with, count on me.  They say I don't have experience, but I've 
had the experience of polishing the boots of the wisest ruler since 
Solomon.  I may not know stare decisis, but I know when to be starry 
eyed.  I await your instructions, Master."
