Honoring the Judiciary - Regardless

You’d think judicial probity went a little further than this.  I’ve read some stupid opinions (judicial opinions, I mean), and even a few that were written in clunky doggerel verse.  But this takes the cake and sits down on it while blowing a raspberry at anything that ever wanted to be aesthetically elevating.  This link came to me through one of my legal news services.  I am only relieved that this piece of adjudicative abasement doesn’t actually come from California.  I guess we’ve got enough people laughing at us already.

It all comes into sharp relief for me because I am preparing today for a big conference call tomorrow with my subcommittee and have been setting up details with “my” members - the director of Child Support Services for LA, a Santa Cruz County Councilwoman, and an appellate judge in Riverside.  Every time I speak with the judge, who’s a nice, responsive, effusive fellow, I automatically stand, even when I’m just here in my cubicle all by myself on the telephone with him.  My respect for the office is just ingrained in my psyche.  But, despite my attempt at being respectful, I accidentally used the word “judicious” in conversation with him.  He laughed, but really, he was just being polite.  I don’t even think he’s jewish.

that's just the way it seemed to me at 12:05 PM


I have to—I am compelled by unknown forces—THIS IS WHY THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM GETS A BAD RAP!

Sorry.

dude, you’re gonna get yourself barred from further comments with that kind of crap.  In the meantime, consider yourself benched for the remainder of this post. 

Hear about the longboarder who got busted for assault when he beat someone up who tried scamming in on his beach?  He was convicted and sentenced to time surfed.

Chagall is too well-known for me to expect much from his work.  This established beyond doubt that I am an idiot

I am still laughing… so… you are a humble man at that.. not all caught in the arrogance of your gift.

you growin on me boy.. I have sent word about you to a couple of friends.. I found you by looking up the word flyschticly which was associated indirectly.. with the word.. wordacious..which I also looked up.. and whose search brought me to you… and Kel.

I am an idiot too.. but I am so fucking happy I try to alleviate that with searches… I just love bumping into people who KNOW they are idiots.. they are so much more fun than people convinced of their own inteligence… and you have been the jewel of my day.

PS:  I am glad my spellin gives you grins too.. hey.. here is another fun grin fer ya.
