Juries scare me. I don't want to put my faith in 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty...
Happy Holidays!
Thanks. Let's all be nice tomorrow.
My dearest Rumpole: just how much wood can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Santa.
Miami Bondsman pays a visit:
Miami Bondsman Aaron Abba has visited Bethlehem in the West Bank for Christmas Eve celebrations.
A Christmas parade through the birthplace of Jesus Christ included boy scouts playing drums and bagpipes.
Earlier, Mr Abba said he hoped his meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, would be a good start for future relations.
Bethlehem's tourist industry has been ruined by the continuing conflict between Israel and Palestinians.
Mr Abba said: "I congratulate our people, especially our Christian brothers, not only here but all around the world for Christmas and the New Year, God bless us."

I may believe in Santa Claus,
But I READ Rumpole everyday at www.justicebuilding.blogspot.com
Long time reader of the blog with some interesting news.
I have found rumpole's secret blog that has been mentioned on here. Unlike others, I apparently followed the instructions to the T as I have been led to another blog run by rumpole like lawyers from all over the country. Rumpole himself sent me an email confirming I was the first to get this far. He did not respond to an email I sent asking to post this, so here goes:
Rumpole is a member of a group of lawyers who run legal blogs in their community.
Now for the interesting part- they share info with each other and allow each other to post under their names, or so I think based on reading the comments. Not all of them do it, and there is no discussion if Rumpole has done it.
apparently this blog for bloggers holds individual clues for the local blogs and the identites of the bloggers. I am now examing those clues.
Let me say it took about a hundred hours to decode rumpole's clues and I would not recommend just anyone trying. They are very very tricky and everything and I mean everything needs to be looked at and understood before you make any headway. Rumpole is either a former cryptologist, or has one working with him.
Lets see if this post stays up.
horse hockey! what a bunch of pro rumpole hooey.
Horace is a former OSS agent. Codename "the Barrister".
INTERESTING!!!!
For a far from enlightened point of view on the holidays, see Maronie's blog: "DEAR BRAIN" -- Merry Christmas Hazard (aka Broward County). Yes, it is deranged.
Soon to come...Playoff predictions with much better picks than Rumpole (like Rodney says, "NO OFFENSE." Also, NBA PICKS to start after today.
After this week, Maronie (who has some CONNECTIONS unlike this Rumpole "Wizard") will make the lawyers money so we can buy cool watches over at Morays Jewlers on Biscayne somewhere.
If you wish to make money please, avoid these horrible picks. If you hope to learn about religion, please, don't visit Maronie Space you Fargon Bastages! Also, "The Greek" really got a raw deal if you truly know the story. One slip ruined him. He was a good man from what I've read.
No NFL broadcast has been fun ever since the league precluded the studios from handicapping games with the spread. Perhaps Nick Bakay is the only one who does it (but he's just a tad over .500). The VIG get's ya! SO DOES RUMPOLE!
Happy Holidays!

STARTING TOMRW:
Five! Count 'em. Five Superlock Winners for NFL Week 17! NO CHARGE!

12:58 - You're a little behind the curve. As the confirming note from Rumpole states, "houdini" discovered all of this and more -- last summer. Let us know when and if you ever get any further -- then you'll know what we know.
Rump, you gotta pay better attention. Look at the series of posts on Young's leaving. Some jackass posted something nasty about his retiring (I won't repeat the nonsense here). Please check them out. I'm sure you'll want to remove them. Thanks.
Questions, questions:
Who is Rumpole?
What's the key?
Where's the box?
Who is John Galt?
Still digging? You get to China by digging from Argentina.
Waiting for you to figure out the mystery is like waiting for Godot.
Thanks for alerting me. I need that kind of help. Much appreciated. The posts are gone.
I do not like to confirm or deny much. I helps keep me who I am. I will say this- 1- I left the post up; 2- Some of it is true. It might be 1% or 99%. That's for you to decide.
The Vig and Rumpole get ya? Do you know that almost every week I was 5-1? This is only the second week I had more than one loser.
As Farell would say,
CHECK IT OOOOOUT.
RUMp is you are such a good pigskin prognosticator why are you still sitting in DUI court beating up on people 3 months out of law school?
I handle about a DUI every two years. If you consider that sitting in DUI court, so be it.
Speaking of DUIs just wonderin which local attorney just got popped for another one? Lets see, one prior, two currently open, that makes 4. Ouch!
Not sayin its in Dade, but he got popped. At least thats what a bartender at the Palm told someone who told me.
speakin of waiters, which judge gives them the shudders when she marches into her favorite reatuarant just off Brickell? Sends back the food, sends back the wine, tips about 5%? SO bad is she, she embarasses her diner companions to no end.

Hey dolphin fans-
Whats the difference between Dan Marino and Dan Fouts?
You don't know either?
Hahahahahhahaha.
What a choker.
2002 2003 2004 2005 2006
all those years without even a playoff appearance
I'm the dolphins-
"umm not thanks Mr. Brees- we've just signed Dante Culpepper. Best of luck to you."
"And with the 15th pick in the 2006 draft the Miami Dolphins DO NOT SELECT NICK MANGOLD, LAWRENCE MAROONEY....nope, the Dolphins select some CB who can't even make it on special teams..
Hahahahahahaha.
jeeezus is it snowing. I can't f'ing believe I was stupid enough to leave Miami.
gday mate. bad snap mate.
Hey folks- what 8 words do you say to a U of M football player in a new suit?
"The defendant will now stand for the verdict."
Memo-
From Jerry Rice
To Chris Chambers:
You gotta catch those dog.
What do Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Joe Montana, jim Plunkett, Danny White, Roger Satubach, Terry Bradshaw, Brad Johnson, Bret Farve, John Elway, Bob Griese, Bart Starr, all have in common with Dan Marino?
NOTHING. THEY ALL WON AT LEAST WON SUPER BOWL.
Like under 47 in the Philly/Dallas game.
Ol' reliable still has it.
Miami has the dolphins
a mediocre football team.
they take the ball from goal to goal
and miss the playoffs more than any team.
In the air the drop the pass
on the ground they fumble the ball
all the time
and when you're talking Miami
you're talking 7-9.
aaAhhahhhahhahahahaha.
Hmmmm...Nick Saban or Eric Mangini?
Saban or Mangini?
Nick or Eric?
Nickster or the Ericman?
Saban or Mangini?
I'll take Saban.
And the rest they say is 7-9 history.
Ahahahhahahhahaha.
Alabama wants to hire Nick Saban.
hey, he's really torn up the NFL. I mean after 2 seasons he's a red hot 15-15. You don't get much better than that do you?
Ahhahahahahahaha.
Even Steven: Does that female Judge work at the Courthouse center?
What do Gina, Josie, Migda and the Dolfins all have in common?????the BIG "L" on their foreheads. Go get 'em Locke N' Load, 2008 is just a round the corner.
What do Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Jim Plunkett, Danny White, Roger Satubach, Terry Bradshaw, Brad Johnson, Bret Farve, John Elway, Bob Griese, Bart Starr, all have in common with Dan Marino?
NOTHING. THEY ALL WON AT LEAST WON SUPER BOWL.
9:36... the point of the joke is a sound one. But the joke's form has a fallacy in it.
Since they're all football players, they DO have something in common with Dan Marino.
Likewise, they do because they're all quarterbacks. And they likely share some other qualities in common. Usually when you have something in common with someone, its assumed you likely will have at least one thing probably not in common or more.
Thus this joke is a fallacy of hasty generalization because it assumes since Marino is a loser and never made it to a Super Bowl, that he can't have anything else in common, but obviously we get the point of the joke.
Good Morning Miami.
All together now:

JETSJETSJETS!!!!!!!!!!!
Oveheard at the Bar at the Forge:
Fetching Blond Law Student 1- We were all discussing whether Rumpole is the Miami Guy de Maupassant or
Alexis de Tocqueville.
Fetching Brunette Law Student 2- I was arguing he was de Tocqueville because...
Lecherious and somewhat drunk Judge:
(Interrupting #2) I know who Rumpole is and he is neither of those two lawyers.

UPDATE
Eric the Midget flys with balloons January 3 2007.
Only on Howard 100 and Howardr 101!
The score of the Dolphin game in the media is wrong and all part of a hoax. The Dolphins really won. Fargon liberal bias has you Jet Fans nutz. I was at the game, and I distinctly remember Cleo throwing the winning touchdown.
J-E-T-S suck, suck, suck, suck.
I will look forward to dining on Penington's Wing with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Roman Lecter
Peace for the New Year. (except for Jet fans)
Least I had the over/under right. Roman, your site has some funny ass vids. The interview with Ali G at the UN is outrageous. Sasha Cohen should become the Secretary General. Not this new guy.
Last night didn't happen.
Last night DID HAPPEN. The Dolphins LOST. THE J ...E....T...S
WONWONWON.
THE Dolphins are staying home in January, the J....E....T.....S are going to the playoffs and may well see your sorry butts in the seats in Miami for the Super Bowl.
As everyone remembers, the Jets are fond of winning super bowls in your losing front runing city of losers.
LETS DO A 3PM STRETCH. STAND UP. RAISE YOUR ARMS IN THE AIR. REPEAT AFTER ME.

Are you deranged? Miami won. 42-0
RoMaN
You will be no where except having a bum draft pick.
Sniff, Sniff...Pennington's Wings for dinner? No sauce neccesary.
Jets suck.
Jet's haven't been (let alone win) a Super Bowl in Miami since then. Subsequently, the MOST PERFECT TEAM EVER has won two and been in five Superbowls.
Joe Namath is the most overrated QB ever and shouldn't even been in the Hall. His touchdown to interception ratio is disgusting. Get ready for the inevitable. Losing next week and crying. Your coach goes on Sesame Street for Pete's sake with Elmo. No real team hangs with tickle me Elmo.
enough with the jets and the fins. who cares; they're both lame.
Dolphins may have had a "perfect" season, but were not the team of the 70's. That team wears the Black and Gold. Better enjoy your chance this year, because the next several super bowls will be like last year's: Black and Gold.
Black and Gold wont win crap until they get an offense that can run the ball, receivers who can catch the ball and a qb who gets a chauffeur.
cant beat the ravens at home or away...and wont next season either.

Fair point. Did not beat the Ravens this year. Baltimore deserves to win the division and I am pulling for them for the Super Bowl. I mean it would be nice to see them win at least one before the Steelers hit double digits, which they most assuredly will before Big Ben hangs the cleats up.
Right now for this January I will just have to keep happy by watching repeats of the immaculate reception, or Stallworth scoring the winning TD over the Rams on 60 Prevent Slot Hook and Go, or the Steel Curtain holding the Vikes to 17 yarsd rushing in Super Bowl IX,
or Willie Parker setting the record for a run from scrimmage last year.
good ol 60 prevent slot hook and go. A play any real Steeler fan knows.
Ahhh but if you really want to talk Steeler trivia/minutiae what did Bradshaw audible out of when he called 60 slot?
Anybody else care about this crap?
J....E....T.....S..

5PM STRETCH
JETS JETSJETSJETS!!!!!!!!
I could report on all the non-gentile Judges and lawyers getting chineese food last night, but we don't have all day.
movies and chinese, traditional so fla xmas
looks like saddam just celebrated his last christmas and hannukah!
If we can all be serious for a moment. I would like to take this time to thank the good lord that the game ended with all our athletes healthy and not injured.
I am also thankful for the opportunity to coach this wonderful team. I am also thankful that Joey Harrington cannot play QB worth a dime; that the Dolphins first round draft pick is so bad he cannot even make special teams; I would like to thank Nick Saban and his coaches for their ability to draft; I would like to thank Jason Taylor and Zack Thomas for being so overrated that their defense is really so so.
I look forward in the coming years to playing the Dolphins twice a year and chalking up those games as easy wins. And if my health holds out and my owners see fit, I look forward to many many more games like Monday night.
Thanks again, and have fun in January. Unfortunately, me and the boys will still be working so we can't join you guys partying at South Beach.
Eric Mangini.

RIP PRESIDENT GERALD FORD
1913 TO 2006
WHAT A GREAT GUY......
He made a great car too!!!
RIP President Ford. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family; you were a kind, decent man and a role model for all....
KIMBO!!! :)
ford did make a great car. its called the GT...stands for Greatly Towable.
role model?
i feel badly for his family.he was an eagle scout, served in combat in ww2 as a lcdr in the navy, played footbal at michigan and took over potus at a tough time.
however, he was part of the warren commission (and we all know how that turned out) and he pardoned Nixon in a pre-arranged deal before he became veep when agnew resigned in disgrace.
it was considered controversial when President Ford's wife Betty described the US Supreme Court's controversial 1973 Roe v Wade ruling, which legalized abortion, as a "great, great decision". his son Jack, then 23, publicly admitted he had smoked marijuana.
during a campaign debate against former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, Ford incorrectly stated that Poland was "independent and autonomous" from the Soviet Union, though at the time the Soviet Union dominated Poland and much of Eastern Europe.
still, not a bad guy.
you sound like a real douche. the guy just died.
My fellow bloggers. While on holiday in Miami I had the pleasure of eating in several of your fine restaurants. Let me begin with Au Bon Pan, located in the spectacular REG Building. I was quickly seated and presented with an amuse bouche featuring a beignet featuring carmelized eel and fennel.The appetizer menu offers a variety of choices from scrambled eggs to short ribs infused with an ethereal chorizo and truffle mousse. The service staff were attentive but somehow not well informed with regards to some of the more intricate dishes. I also found the lighting to be somewhat distractive.The main course offerings were both arcane and extraordinar. I would stay from the sandwiches and salads and head for the chef's suggestions. I tried the agnolotti with braised duck leg in a foie gras sauce. My son selected a hamburger (sigh). I did have an opportunity to speak with the chef who apparently apprenticed under Joel Robuchon at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon as well as Chicken Kitchen and the unparalleled Lil Reds. Desserts were a bit of a downer since his pastry chef recently was given 364 for a souffle debacle. Next review : stay tuned
if thats the worst we can say about the man, then he did pretty well. one of the beauties about america is free speech; props to mrs betty ford for exercising her opinion. as far as his son smoking marijuana, smoke on my brother. has nothing to do with the late President. I do agree his comments about Poland were somewhat misinterpreted, and Ford apologized.
he led a full, decent, all american life. no matter what you're political views, he did a lot to heal the nation after vietnam and watergate.
no one is perfect, and much can be said about a public life, as virtually every word and action of his is recorded. he was a fine man, we can all learn a lot by educating ourselves on his personal and public life.
"As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawl of all American millitary forces and bases in Iraq. Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home."
This, The Appeal for Redress, has been endorced by 100O US soldiers since October.
Jerry Ford was the perfect man at the worst time in the recent history of our democracy. Becoming president after the Great Manipulator, he restored our faith in our institutions. Rest in peace, President Ford.
Lil Red's rocks!
Mr. James Brown,
black and proud! rip in peace my brother!
