I chuckled when I read about the '61 Rothschild as I had given Kurt a case for his birthday.

I think about him often and miss him dearly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-82083967740323050872008-07-29T17:16:00.000-04:002008-07-29T17:16:00.000-04:00Why the Fleischer bashing?

Does anyone know if this story is accurate? If the Herald did manage to accidentally get a story right, why is this case being disposed of without the manager facing at least a felony conviction? These corrupt officials build their careers milking the public coffers, and its not like we are ever going to place them in repeat offender court. Rather we will usually only get one bite at the rotten apples. If the facts warrant it would be encouraging to have one of these characters, i.e. Miami City Attorney Fernandez (who plead out to misdemeanor with fines and conditions of sentence), get a felony conviction and do some time for all their years of hard work of undermining the public's confidence in its servants. The corrupt public official is a threat to the very concept of self government and should be handled not as a first time offender but instead as a lifelong criminal whose greed and graft was finally exposed.<BR/><BR/>See the Herald's link for further information:http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami-dade/story/618545.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-38796506402291131772008-07-25T23:55:00.000-04:002008-07-25T23:55:00.000-04:00Best case in south Florida this year......Broward ...Best case in south Florida this year......<BR/>Broward County. 15 year old boy kills 14 year old girl after taking his virginity from him and teasing him he was a virgin because he would not pay her $50 for sex.<BR/><BR/>Definitely not an enforceable contract....and i did not know there were 14 year old prostitutes who collected their own fees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-40977850870033038772008-07-25T19:54:00.000-04:002008-07-25T19:54:00.000-04:00whaT JUDGES ARE leaving a the end of the year?whaT JUDGES ARE leaving a the end of the year?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-29798017098117163102008-07-25T19:32:00.000-04:002008-07-25T19:32:00.000-04:00Abe:Well done!

He is fondly remembered.<BR/><BR/> Second, the many of the comments yesterday on the Cohen-Cuellar judicial race were extremely distressing. The degree of hostility, animosity, and hatred displayed on this blog -which I fear is a microcosm of our community at large - has gotten out of hand and should be a matter of great concern to us all. Should we vote (and encourage our friends, family members, and neighbors) to vote, for our ethnic brethren/sisters, or should we educate ourselves and vote in each race for an individual because s/he is MORE qualified than the opponent for the judicial seat at issue? Reason should prevail. This vile hatred should be rethought and then set aside for the good of our profession, our community, our justice system, and our lawyers who appear before these judges.The Devil's Advocatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285473803232850981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-26369233503050883882008-07-25T00:33:00.000-04:002008-07-25T00:33:00.000-04:00I removed a comment because this is not an expose...I removed a comment because this is not an expose.
