In denial, cause the only rational "end of the world" scenario is when the Old Ones awaken from their slumber and consume us.

Apparently Judge Land reads my LJ cause his order basically said the same thing that I did yesterday. Ok, maybe not. Maybe her arguments are so transparently BS that any 1L can shoot them down. Then again, I haven't taken Civ Pro or Ethics yet, so maybe basic common sense is all that's needed.

What's better is someone pointed out that her blog is chalking this up a victory cause he finally agreed to one of her motions. Oh, and she's also reiterating that this unties her hands from that pesky attorney-client privilege. Man, I hope she does divulge some personal info. Although, I don't think the bar would act without a formal complaint of her violating the privilege.

And what witnesses does she hope to call? The judge didn't address that portion of her memo. Does she think she's going to continue to argue her case against Obama? That'll be entertaining.

Sorry if she bores you but I find her entertaining. She's like a real-life example of how to not be a lawyer and why some schools are not members of the bar. She simply doesn't think her case through like a lawyer or look at her argument from the court's point of view.



Dear Crazy Lady,

4 things:

1) How old are you? You basically said "Well, since you fired me, then I quit." Yes, you probably had to file a motion to inform the court, but you don't have to make it appear that you quit. A simple "the client no longer wishes me to represent them in this matter" would suffice. I doubt the judge would hassle you at all.

2) Attorney-client privilege doesn't cease to exist when someone is no longer a client. It's ongoing, whether you're fired, quit, or move firms. There are few exceptions, like if you're being sued by your client, but only that information necessary to defend yourself in court can be revealed.

3) How the hell does waiving of your attorney-client privilege help you defend against the fine for filing numerous frivilous lawsuits and motions and using the courts to make political statements? The only issue is "do your suit and filed motions show a contempt and abuse of the court system?" Even if you did everything at your client's request, you should have known better and that's why you'll be facing fines, an inquiry, and possible discipline from the courts and bar.

4) Are you looking to get disbarred? Is this case really about your own martyrdom?

signed,
A member of whatever vast conspiracy is out to get you.

If you need a little background An article and the motion itself.

Where's his birth certificate?

Posted on 2009.09.24 at 09:57
Why hasn't he proven he was born in the US? I haven't heard of anyone come forward who witnessed his birth. His family comes from Ireland. Did the Irish sneak Biden into the US just so he could be the Vice President? If you're going to bring a baby in and fake his birth, I can't think of any place we'd ignore more than Scranton.

Come on all you birthers and prove you aren't racist! Hold Biden to the same strict standard of proving he's eligible to be Vice President.

TRANSLATION: All you non-whites and women better be thanking us white males for the rights we magnanimously gave them too you. We are so wise and generous to allow you the same civil rights that we enjoy. The civil rights movement wouldn't have had any gains if it wasn't for the Republican party and all we want is a simple "thank you."



TRANSLATION: The 60's Civil Rights movement was pushed by Republicans (even though they primarily out of power at the time) and were excluded from the history books by an evil liberal conspiracy. Brave conservative heroes were excluded and villified. For example, Wallace was trying to hold the door open for integration, but the liberal media accused him of standing in the way.

Yeah, it's essentially a six minute ad, but it's entertaining. Robert Carlyle really pulls it off well. Oh, and just don't pay attention to the fact that it's been part of a food and drink conglomerate for some time and they recently announced they're closing all the plants in Kilmarnock.

Glenn Beck Proposes Cap on Nation's IQ

Posted on 2009.09.13 at 10:31
Speaking at a massive rally of his so-called 9/12 Project in Washington, D.C., Fox News host Glenn Beck called today for stricter limits on the nation's IQ.

"Barack Hussein Obama would like to see our country's IQ rise - just like our taxes!" Mr. Beck thundered to the raucous crowd, who stopped drooling long enough to give him an enthusiastic ovation.

The conservative host proposed capping the nation's IQ "somewhere in the low seventies" and putting tight restrictions on the number of multisyllabic words allowed in the country.

Overall, Mr. Beck seemed to revel in the turnout of his 9/12 rally, which he called "The Million Moron March."

Oh, how much truth can be said in jest.

I love it when they try to pull out the 10th amendment. Smells of desperation. We already have several federal health programs, so I don't see how they can use the 10th amendment against the health care bill without destroying Medicare, SCHIP and any other program.

But I'll see your 10th amendment and raise with Article 1, section 8: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes . . . and provide for the . . . general Welfare of the United States

Considering how insurance and the raises in health care costs has a dramatic effect on our welfare, both as citizens and as a nation, I'd say the health care bill and public option are well within the Congressional powers listed in the United States Constitution without invoking the ICC or Necessary and Proper clause.

Hitler discovers how Americans use his name

Posted on 2009.09.08 at 12:00
Just when I think this meme has been overdone, someone takes it to the next level.



What's interesting is it used to be an epithet used by the left to insult the right. The right invoked Marx, Lenin or some other communist when insulting the left. But I guess with Obama, they felt a need to step it up a notch and include Hitler, even though they're politically and historically incompatible. But the real award for invoking his name inappropriately needs to go to people like Megan Fox who described Michael Bay as Hitler. Hitler? Really? "Dictator" wasn't hyperbolic enough? Had to go that extra step and invoke the personification of everything our society finds repugnant and evil?

I mean, it's ok for straight guys to have gayngels to make them feel better about their crappy lives, right? Of course, I'd probably be a full-time project, but I'm so worth it.

Glenn Moon for city council of Livonia!

Posted on 2009.08.23 at 11:25

A very passionate speech about his candidacy for city council. He wants to outlaw abortion, litter, and make city employees work for $1/year plus the love of JC. And if they can't live on that $1, then they are to be fired, probably cause only heathens can't sustain themselves on JC's love alone. If he doesn't win, it'll be the fault of the atheist, satanic, abortion-loving litterbugs that want to throw away the city's money on salaries.
