HERE COME DA JUDGES

Miami Herald article Sunday (new feature: the title of the post links to the article) catching up with what we all know:

That former Judges Marilyn Milian, David Young; Alex Ferrer; Cristina Pereyra- Shuminer and Karen Mills-Francis all have television shows where they play a Judge on TV.

Must be something in the water at the REGJB. Or the asbestos.

News flash for the Herald: Truman beats Dewey. Really.

Lets see. What else?

President Bush is going to China for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. The largest communist country on earth is apparently not a sponsor of terrorism. Just oppression. Ask the Dali Lama.

John McCain's new plan to win the white house involves hiring a majority of Americans to actually work on his campaign.

There are rumours that Ford and GM are considering bankruptcy, and we live in a time when Starbucks has a larger market capitalization than GM. Astounding.
Here's the NY Times Article on Oil. We were warned since the gas lines of the 1970's about oil running out. And GM and Ford responded by building SUV's. Here's a neat fact: the next time you are in County Court and a prosecutor tells you that you have no idea what you're doing, remember that they were probably NOT EVEN BORN when we had our first gas crisis in the early 1970's.

ASLEEP AT THE SPIGOT

See You In Court, studying the Metro Rail map of Miami.

PS. Stop by the Federal Fight Blog and wish them a happy Third Birthday.

Rumpole; I wanted you to be the first to hear the news.

At the Democratic National Convention next month, we're going to kick off the general election with an event that opens up the political process the same way we've opened it up throughout this campaign.

Barack has made it clear that this is your convention, not his.

On Thursday, August 28th, he's scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination in a speech at the convention hall in front of the assembled delegates.

Instead, Barack will leave the convention hall and join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event where he will deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.

It's going to be an amazing event, and Barack would like you to join him. Free tickets will become available as the date approaches, but we've reserved a special place for a few of the people who brought us this far and who continue to drive this campaign.

If you make a donation of $5 or more between now and midnight on July 31st, you could be one of 10 supporters chosen to fly to Denver and spend two days and nights at the convention, meet Barack backstage, and watch his acceptance speech in person. Each of the ten supporters who are selected will be able to bring one guest to join them.

Make a donation now and you could have a front row seat to history:

https://donate.barackobama.com/openconvention

We'll follow up with more details on this and other convention activities as we get closer, but please take a moment and pass this note to someone you know who might like to be there.

It will be an event you'll never forget.

Thank you,

David

Anonymous said...

I saw it too. Rump is blecher. We all owe Fingerhut/Lurvey/Phil/Shumie an apology.

Blecher has been outted as Rumpole, or he at least needs to explain why he is using this Blog's famous picture with his name posting on hooker bulliten boards. That being sais, Blecher should at least be protected in that he was posting about a DUI officer being arrested for DUI. Nothing illegal about the post. But it was clearly the type of Post Rumpole would do. The langauage and biting scarcasm was the same. I fully believe he has finally slipped up. You know you wanted to be caught Blecher/Rumpole. And now you have been caught. Fess up big guy.

Kudos for Rump/Blecher being man enough to post these comments. Now tell me Blecher what was all that "think outside of the box" bullshit. Was the Box the same type of "box" that those gils are "renting" out on that website? Really. Stupid clue. Not fair at all.

I saw it. I went right to the post and there was Blecher's name and the famous Rumpole avatar.

Rumpole/Blecher you have screwed up. You have beenm caught. You wanted to be caught. Please admit it and lets get on with the blog. Lots of people admire your abulity to write.

And people= even if he changed his picture, go to the link because it is still our rumpole posting about what he loves- cops who get caught. The subject matter alone makes Blecher the prime suspect. The rumpole avatar proves it. Icing on the cake as it were.

Anonymous said...

Sorry to disappoint, I am not Rumpole.

I have been posting legal topics on a certain message board since 2004, and had that avatar up there forever, long before The Blog I didn't even notice it was there, obviously.

I don't have the time, literacy or inclination to be Rumpole.

Think what you will about Rump, he is not careless. No way he has that avatar of himself and puts a real name to it...rediculous.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Quick search of the Indi board reveals that our Rumpole/Blecher is all over the board with tons of posts, ads looking for business (how crass Rump) and general posts which all appear to be "Rumpole Like" in their matter and content. In fact, the posts on Dale Ross resigning are or appear to have been taken from this blog. Meaning in fact Rumpole is Blecher or Blecher steals from Rump.

Now one important fact: If Rump did screw up, why would he let these comments go through and wait to change his picture? That leads me to believe that Blecher is not Rumpole but that Blecher has been pretending to be Rumpole and was caught and now is subject to ridicule.

Anonymous said...

You didn't notice the LARGE picture that appeared by your name? That's the best defense you can come up with?

SHerlock Holmes has a better reason why you are not Rumpole. The "im too busy" crap is old. Phil R says that all the time and I don't believe it when he says it.

In fact, it makes you look guilty. But for Sherlock Holmes, I would be 100% convinced you are Rumpole.

PLUS MR BIG SHOT- IF YOU WERE INNOCENT WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE PICTURE? WHY NOT LEAVE IT UP IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

In fact I just convinced myself. BLECHER IS RUMPOLE.

Anonymous said...

Hmm....Blecher uses Rumpole avatar in 2004. Rump starts the blog 2005.

COINCIDENCE? Or is it that the more Rumpole/Blecher explains, the bigger the hole he digs.

I had that avatar of the actor that played Rumpole on my profile for years. When I joined that message board in '04 I thought it conveyed a lawyer's image, and used my name with Esq.

A handful of posts there shared some bits and pieces from this blog, the cut and paste variety. Most of the time I said they were reprinted without permission of Rumpole.

Thats really all of it, nothing more.

Less than six months from the first Blecher as Rumpole post on Indi Girls and the formation of this blog. Clearly Blecher was trying something out and once he got comfortable with it, he formed this blog. This is pretty damming circumstantial evidence and there is not a reasonable hypothesis of innocence. I say: CASE SOLVED. July 7, 2008 Rumpole revealed as our own Jonathan Blecher, Esq.

Rumpole: I posted the comment earlier in the day seeking an update on Shumie and the Q. With all that has gone on with the blog today I believe I should elaborate.

I work at a mid-sized Chicago law firm. About 500 lawyers and 1500 support staff at any given time. We cover most of the mid-west. Anyway, about a year ago you did a post that nailed Bush on something and it got passed around the internet and shared with a group of like minded lawyers at the firm. I saw it and started reading the comments. One day at lunch I said something that someone on the blog wrote and someone at lunch busted me. They had read the same comment. Eventually we realized that about 20 of us (lawyers and paralegals) were reading the blog everyday. Very quickly Shumie (whomever he is) and the Q (ditto) became topics of conversation in inter-office email. "Was the Q really as good a lawyer as eyeonQ said he was?" "Was shumie really such a grump?" So now we have assigned topics because every month or so there is a firm lunch and after socializing the blog groupies break off and we discuss the various topics of the last month and what someone said about Shumie or the Q or what fake Alschuler said (another favorite here in Chicago). As the lunch is this Friday I was trying to get an update. And then the shocking discovery that you are apparently J Blecher. Or not.

Either way, Blecher or Rumpole, I just wanted you to know you have at least a semi national following as there is a group of lawyers here in Chicago who are fascinated with the goings on at the REGJB.

Please even if your identity is revealed, keep the blog going. You write so well and are so funny and on point. I have taken the liberty of checking out J Blecher's name on the Florida bar website and if you are Rumpole I may also send you an email if that's ok.

Keep up the good work.

Fans in Chi town.
Go Cubs!!!

Two comments from Rumpole/Blecher and no response as to why if he is innocent did he change his picture so quickly?

I am a friend of Phil. He has absolutely denied being Rumpole and I cannot imagine him "admitting it" to anyone. Why don't you name who he admitted it to so we can check it out?

The blecher stuff looks more and more daming I checked out the website and he uses stuff from this blog very liberally. It appears he has been caught.

The cut-n-paste defense is weak. Weak baby. It's weak. What I am checking on now is proof that some of the cut-n-paste stuff was posted BEFORE the stuff on the blog was posted. That is the REAL SMOKING GUN.

Be ready Blecher, your days in hiding may be up.

I dont think the Real Rumpole is happy about this.

For a long time no one really gave a crap... now another red herring. Like many before, Phil R., Lurvey, Lyons, Shumie and some secret e-mail, Fingerhut, Jackie Woodward, Zenobi. This one falls to the ground gently under its own weight.

The real Rumpole would never have left his tracks so easily uncovered. I remember a while ago comments on Blecher's posts on that website. No one gave a crap then and no smoking gun was found.

Nah, I don't think Blecher is the guy, but Rumpole isn't happy that the trail is being sniffed on once again.

Anonymous said...

Since I have again been wrongly accused, let me set the record straight: I have NEVER admitted to anyone I am Rumpole. I challenge the person who wrote that I did to say who, when and where.

Secondly, I think Jonathan is innocent as well. The simple fact is that Rumpole has no problem letting me or JB or anyone twist in the wind while being accused of running the blog. However, if someone did in fact discover his identity I don't think he would allow the comment.

Rumpole has a a bit of a dark side I believe and it's not pretty.

Anonymous said...

Let me put this in the simple Godfather terms you all can understand and relate to.

Shumie runs the blog. He is Michael Corleone. But he doesn't get his hands dirty. He has his trusted and smart consigliere: Phil R. Phil is Tom Hagen. He writes most of the posts, As several people have pointed out, the posts seem to change every now and then. And the blog puts out a post every day, which is remarkable since everyone takes time off, vacation , or is in trial.

Finally we have Fredo who sold out the family and got caught. That is Jon Blecher. He stepped off the reservation and used the Rumpole logo without permission because he wanted to show off ("I'm smart. I can run things..." you get the idea)

Now the real question is whether like Michael Corleone, Shumie puts out a hit on the traitor in his family.

Once upon a time, there was a Beared Belen graduate who decided to inhabit the mountains and battled the fascist regime on as Island 90 miles south of Key West. With the help of the intelligentsia, the Beared One triumphed, promising social equality. As fate would have it, the Beared One first oppressed the class that put him in power, then assailed the humble working class. A sleepy town called Miami became the home to those trusting and displaced soles. As all yearned to return to their native land by Noche Buena -(Christmas) - of that year. Many of the very class that trusted and empowered the Beared one, put their trust in “the Company” or the CIA. They left their families behind in the States, and trotted off to Nicaragua to train in the hope of recapturing and returning to their homeland. Their trust was arguably well placed, everyone expected Richard M. Nixon to be the next president, and since the invasion was planned under the Eisenhower administration, what the heck, what was there not to trust. Well, as the date approached, a joyous aura prevailed, then came April 17, 1961, and the Kennedy administration let them down, violating the commitment to support the invasion.

This failed invasion meant that Miami was to become the homeland for the foreseeable future. Some continued their adventures, with the “Cuban Project,” more commonly known as “Operation Mongoose,” until the Johnson administration tired of entertaining the Cubans, and put an end to the agenda of overthrowing Beared Belen Wonder. Thereafter, many of those who had sacrificed to help the Uncle, became pariahs, having the infamous and distinctive four door black Ford Custom, with the conspicuous radio antennas on the trunk, used by most of the Feds, but more so the FBI, surveil their every move. They were, after all, suppose to assimilate, adopt the American way of life, and give up that silliness of being and staying Cuban!

Well, then in 1973, Manolo Reboso, a Bay of Pigs veteran became the first Cuban elected official in Miami. Andres Mejides was his counterpart in Hialeah, although he kowtowed to the then Hialeah establishment. Then came Raul L. Martinez, the anthesis who kowtowed to no one, and made the then establishment take note and respect us all. Raul epitomizes the Old School philosophy, you are either on the team, heart, body and soul, or you are the enemy - its simple.

The rest is history, the “Old School” immigrants made economic and political history, zealously supporting those who supported them, their culture, and accepted their idiosyncrasies. It was from the Old School - genuinely hard core generation that I got my values, and commitment. You stand by and reward those who truly respect and accept you, your ethnicity, your culture, and your people; not only you individually as a matter of political or economic expediency or convenience; and you electorally and economically punish those who treat you and your people as second class, paying only verbal homage to the minority class to advance their political agendas, all the while laughing behind our backs.

Now, perhaps you understand my disdain for the so called, “godfathers” - yes plural -who have turned the Cuban American Bar Association into a bastion for the elitist in the ivory tower firms, who have managed to take over the agenda and politics of CABA, using it as a vehicle to serve, support, and protect the establishment, forsaking the agenda and plight of the minorities in our community.

(So no a/k/a “Tony Sporano” you said you’d post it - I would love to hear the commentators).

To July 7th @ 11:52 P.M.
Your unfunny dig at Stacy Glick is both not funny and misguided.
If you had done your research you would have learned that Ms. Glick has worked hard for everything she has achieved. She has been working since high school in retail sales, and as a waitress at Beverly Hills Cafe in South Miami.While in Law school she developed and ran a paint your own pottery business in Plantation Florida, bought and paid for by Stacy Glick, not "Daddy or Mommy" or a trust fund.
"Daddy and Mommy" did not set her up in a cushy private practice after Law School, instead she went to work at the State attorneys office, working at the government rate.
She has raised money and support from all segments of the community for this campaign and is out on the campaign trail with the other candidates each and every day.
She is working hard to earn this election.
Nobody is "buying" her anything, nobody is giving her anything, she is not inheiriting anything and she sure isn't entitled to anything.
She is earning this the old fashion way, hard work 24-7.
To suggest that she is doing anything other than working hard for this position is wrong and does a diservice to her and her campaign and to all the candidates out there.
Unless you are in the candidates shoes you need to reserve uninformed judgment.
You need to go on the campaign trail for a year or more,trying to raise money, investing some of your own that you don't get back,win or lose, go to all the events that you have to go to morning noon and night and put up with the bull... of petty politics and the a...holes of politics. Only then can you talk. I guarantee you won't belittle anyone who is running for office.
Please think twice before assuming things that are not true.
Thank You

The anti CABA poetic rant at 12:45is obviously posted by a disgruntled loser non CABA member, a candidate or a supporter of a candidate that because of their lack of qualifications, or ulterior motives isn't supported by CABA leadership

If you don't like CABA politics join and change them.If the leadership doesn't like you but prefers a better qualified non cuban well butch up and live with it.Many people have been elected without CABA leadership support( CABA does not endorse candidates each person is acting in an individual capacity)

The Cuban American Bar association is not an employment agency for marginal lawyers who think they deserve to be judges just because they are Cuban.Those of us that experienced the good old days saw too many idiot judges of varied ethnic backgrounds to now allow other idiots to get elected merely because they are "one of us"

Pissing and moaning on this blog ain't going to change shit.Get off your ass and do something.Many of us who lead think that you are probably an irrelevant twit cause people like you never do anything except sit on the sidelines and complain.Your ilk contribute squat to improving this community (look around not everyone around here is Cuban!)

The Glick attacks are ridiculous. Yes, daddy help guide her career. So what? She should be punished because her father acted as any good parent would? Are you kidding me? Do you really think people shouldn't vote for her because she had the kind of upbringing any sane person would want?

Anyone who knows Stacy will tell you that she is down to earth and does whatever she thinks is right. Period, end of story. She listens to reason, but cannot be bullied or sweet talked. Just like her father.

Lenny is one of the best judges this County has ever seen. He can't be cloned (at least legally). The next best thing is his daughter. That's not an insult, it's a compliment.

Stacy will make an excellent judge. You may think that she took the easy route and is sponging off her parents. If that's true, you don't know Lenny and Diane. Their kids earn everything they get. She could've slacked off and lived on her father's reputation (he couldn't stop that). BUT, SHE DIDN'T. She loves serving the public and works hard. Save your venom for someone who actually deserves it.
