I'm telling you, it's magic. Magic!

"Listen, Bernie, it's fantastic! See, the black guy is urban, kinda cool, but a bit angry. The white guy is this rube from the sticks who is idiotically pleasant. Yeah, exactly. Just like a smiling retard. Anyway, what? Sure, they can have crime-fighting superpowers . . . "

The big firm is obviously trying to break into this area of the law, which is your bread and butter. Few people who get the client bulletin will actually bother to read it, but they may remember it when they have an issue relating to this area of the law and decide to call Big New York Firm.

Would you call Big New York Firm and point out their glaring and potentially dangerous error, out of professional courtesy? If you got such a call, would you send out a correction?
I would send a client bulletin to all my clients and prospective clients alerting them to the glaring error and warning them not to be misdirected by it.

But then, some people think I'm a prick.

No. Nobody should do that. Reality TV is nothing but a tacit admission that almost the entire entertainment industry has neither talent nor balls. If that's the best you can do, send your diplomas back to Yale and get a job making chili dogs at Pinks.

Driving

I think RT's natural home is the parking lot at the Target/Best Buy/BevMore (or whatever it's called)/Ulta mall thingy at La Brea & Santa Monica. On the weekend. Worst. Drivers. Ever. I may start going to the La Cienega Target, even though I suspect it's icky.

That is all.

ETA whoops, not all -- how can it be 49 out? This is Ellll Aaaaay.

EATA, apparently the 49 was an error of some sort. phew.

  • Tag 'too bulky' for bail woman

    A teenager has successfully challenged a court bid forcing her to wear an electronic ankle tag as she said it would not look right with a skirt.

    Natasha Hughes of Arboretum, Worcester, was described in court as a woman who liked to dress in a feminine way.

    Worcester Magistrates' Court heard she should wear a tag for breaching the terms of her bail curfew.

    Ms Hughes, 18, said: "I didn't want to wear a tag because they are really bulky and embarrassing."

    'It looks stupid'

    She is on bail accused of assaulting another woman causing grievous bodily harm.

    On Tuesday, she admitted breaching the terms of her bail curfew, which states she must answer her front door to police whenever they call.

    The court heard Hughes did not answer the door at 0235 GMT on 1 November, claiming she was asleep at the time.

    She added: "I like to wear skirts which means people can see it and it looks stupid. I am pleased at the decision and am glad I don't have to be tagged."


    Prosecutor Douglas Marshall said Hughes should be forced to wear a tag to prove in future she was at home when she said she was.

    But David Taylor, defending, said this was not necessary and would interfere with his client's dress sense.

    He said: "She wants to wear skirts, not trousers, which would cover the tag.

Despite your warnings, I became the proud owner of a tramp stamp this weekend.
