Arguments Interrupted When Lawyer Faints
 

• A second or two passed, then Olson said, "Excuse me, your honor," before crumpling to the floor. Several spectators gasped, while others ran for help.

Give the man props for his manners given what he was going through. Although if you represent dirtbag health insurance plans, you'd wear the scorn of the First District like a mantle of finest ermine.

Never Hire This Guy
 

I always thought we lawyers were supposed to be circumspect in our statements; all the moreso if we represent criminal defendants. But I must have been freaked out on drugs.

I am halfway through Collapse and, as you know, I have finished Until I Find You.

Hank - Chapter 5!, that is what, fifty pages into the book? That is like 8%. I am pretty sure you are still in Jacks European tour as a six year old.

Pathetic.

Never Hire This Guy
 

Here's another one to avoid:

It's a terrible case involving incest and infanticide. The father of the babies in this case has a lawyer who said of him to the press: "his client is far from the "beast" portrayed in media accounts. Instead, he said, his client was a "pathetic little man" who seemed "scared and subdued, and he seemed not to comprehend what was happening."

WTF
 

What if I fool you a third time? Or never fooled you in the first place? Or post hockedly claimed to fool you but never really did until you bought the Post Hoc?

I do own the Irving book but am currently reading The Devils Teeth. I think I know where Lessapalooza should be held.

And a super idiot.

OKLAHOMA CITY - A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to — all because of Larry Bird.

The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird’s jersey number 33.

“He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird’s jersey,” Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. “We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.

Maybe he's hoping they'll let him walk, like they did Bird.

How about Mao: The Unknown Story By Jung Chang and Jon Halliday.??

It was reviewed by Nicolas Kristoff in the Sunday Times:

......a biography of Mao that will help destroy his reputation forever. Based on a decade of meticulous interviews and archival research, this magnificent biography methodically demolishes every pillar of Mao's claim to sympathy or legitimacy

I know it will shatter a lot of the allusions, ideals and (a)moral underpinnings of the looney left who troll these boards, but for the rest of us it might be a nice cautionary warning of the continued danger of communism, the RedChinese and the Clintons.

Thoughts?

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Home Depot was sued by a shopper from a Kentucky store who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.

Bob Dougherty, 57, accused employees of ignoring his cries for help for about 15 minutes because they thought he was kidding.

"They left me there, going through all that stress," Dougherty told The Daily Camera, of Boulder. "They just let me rot."

The lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck at the store in Louisville, Colorado, on the day before Halloween 2003.

A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk by radio, but the head clerk "believed it to be a hoax," the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes.

Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, and Dougherty, "frightened and humiliated," passed out as they wheeled him out of the store, court papers said. The toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.

"This is not Home Depot's fault," Dougherty said. "But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me."

Maybe he'll get a couple thousand for the nuisance suit, but it is funny. That'll teach him for not using the ass gaskets.
