I had a third DUI. Received a large color brochure in the mail. Made an appointment, went to the office, was met by a receptionist who looked like she worked at Tootsies. Met with the lawyers. Was quoted 35 thousand but they would drop it to 25 if I paid cash up front. Wasn't sure what to do. Called my brother. The receptionist came in the room when they left to bring me a coke. She leaned over, her breasts rubbed against me. She asked if she could do anything else.....dropped to her knees, and to make a long story short it was the most expensive BJ I ever got. Hired them. Paid cash. The cop didn't show. Big f'ing deal. Their legal work left a lot to be desired including a generic motion to suppress that had two spelling errors in it.former clientnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-78946233768423856182010-11-04T14:26:20.247-04:002010-11-04T14:26:20.247-04:00put your email address here and i will send you an...put your email address here and i will send you an email.

Maybe they will follow the lead of the Cameron government in the U.K. If they do, then the two obvious places to start are: (1) to eliminate the Bush tax cuts for top bracket filers; and (2) to reduce the defense budget from its present ridiculous level (including $2 billion a week to fund the criminal scumbags who run Afghanistan). Even as I write this, it is clear that these things will never happen and that, instead, the first thing that the Republicans will try to do is to make sure that the megarich do not have to pay any more taxes followed by an increase in the defense budget. It is beyond me how anyone (other than the megarich or defense industry people) can be believe anything they say let alone vote for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-4578798420385682872010-11-03T12:02:49.863-04:002010-11-03T12:02:49.863-04:00i have no comment on any possible job offers in th...i have no comment on any possible job offers in the new Scott administration.

2 yea...I will never understand the American voter:<br /><br />2 years ago, people voted for the cooler candidate rather than the candidate with the experience to do the job. Yesterday, people voted for candidates who used government credit cards for their own personal use and who bilked Medicare and the Federal government out of millions. <br /><br />American voters stick their heads in the sand and deny the fact that Bill Clinton was the only president in recent history to have us in a surplus; rather they want to give the credit for that to Reagan. Those same people deny that it was Bush's actions that got us to the economic crisis we are currently in. <br /><br />Kendrick Meek - thanks guy. You could have been a hero. Great job buddy.<br /><br />The voters get what they deserve, unfortunately, I have to go along for the ride.

Where was this sentiment, this rhetoric, for the past two years. Shortly after Obama and the Dems won their super majority BHO rebuked Senator John McCain in a meeting by stating something to the effect 'The elections over John, get over it.' Well Barak, the election is over, you've got little to show the American people for having a super majority for two years, in your words 'get over it.' For two years BHO did what he wanted without regard of the will of the people. Now that he lost and no one wanted him to campaign for them, he'll want to compromise. Karma.

That means she has to win 60% of the balance of the votes. And that is just not going to happen. The only Counties she carried by more than 60% were Broward, Leon & Gadsden and 97% of their votes have been counted already.<br /><br />Only possible way is for this alleged problem with the vote counting of absentee ballots in Hillsborough. If there are 35,000 ballots sitting in a box to be counted, or the ones counted were somehow counted incorrectly, then maybe, just maybe, she could close the gap, (given that Hillsborough is her hometown; although, right now she is only winning her hometown County by 50% to 47%).<br /><br />I guess we will just have to wait until sunrise to see what happens.<br /><br />-------------<br /><br />Congrats to Vereen and Lesperance for their commitment and dedication. It hurts to lose, but it takes lots of courage just to put up the good fight.<br /><br />And congrats to ASA Carlos Trujillo, a three year prosecutor, who tonight was elected to the State House in District 116.<br /><br />------------<br /><br />Nationally, two observations. <br /><br />First, I wonder how many of you caught Rubio's speech tonight where he slipped in a one sentence referral to the possibility (indirect reference) that he could be running on a national stage in the not too distant future.<br /><br />He will be the Keynote speaker in 2012 at the Elephant's convention, if not on the ticket itself. He is a rising star. And while your politics may not be the same as his, just think about what kind of race he ran in the past 24 months. He was a barely a blip on the radar when he decided to challenge the most popularly elected person in this State. He was a Hispanic from South Florida, and Hisapnics from South Florida do not wins votes North of Palm Beach County. They do not win elections in the I-4 corridor and they do not win elections in the Panhandle. Rubio spent many days and night doing it the grassroots way. He went to many places where 25-50 people showed up and he stayed on message and little by little people started listening. He should have been pounded in this election (if you look back two years) and instead, after an amazing campaign, he was the one that did the pounding.<br /><br />And second, the fact that someone actually spent $142 million dollars to get elected to anything, and lost; I am not sure which fact is more depressing about where we are in this democratic process we call elections.<br /><br />Meg Whitman ran Ebay and she obviously ran it very well. She profitted handsomely and she has every right to spend her money how she chooses. But I wonder how much our founding fathers are turning over in their graves seeing the amount of money spent in elections.<br /><br />Cap Out .....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.com
