As another storm bears down upon our beloved New Orleans I want you to know that Laura and I will be watching every moment from our ranch here in Texas. Rapidly- and I mean within a few weeks after disaster strikes- we will have federal agents ready to enter New Orleans and provided the much needed resources- just like we did after Katrina. <BR/><BR/>Now we learned some lessons from Katrina and here's what we will do different :<BR/><BR/>1) Don Rumsfeld, who managed the Iraq war so well will be appointed Kommadant of New Orleans.<BR/><BR/>2) He will initiate a three point plan:<BR/><BR/>1) All individuals with a yearly income over 200 thousand a year will be immediately airlifted out of New Orleans on private jets. <BR/><BR/>4) For all those people who courageously stay behind, if New Orleans is not safe to live in, we have come up with a safe and exciting alternative:<BR/>GUANTANAMO BAY CUBA. <BR/>TELL THEM WHAT THEY'VE WON DICK:<BR/><BR/>Thank you Mr. President- all black folk in New Orleans will be flown on an all expense paid trip to the exotic isle of Cuba, where they will be issued their very own safe, secure, and humanitarian 8x8 wire cage on a bluff overlooking the deep blue waters of Cuba. While on they island they will enjoy the local fare of exotic black rice and beans, while experiencing like a true native the wonders of sleeping in 98 degree heat with 99% humidity. Back to you Mr. President. <BR/><BR/>OK. Back to the three point plan:<BR/><BR/>9) We will carefully study New Orleans with the same experts who told us where to find the WMDs in Iraq. And when all is said and done, I will be gone out of the White House soon and it will be the other guy's (gals?) problems. <BR/><BR/>May the lord bless all the wealthy people of the United States Of America.

Palin is marrie...OK, so, let me get this straight. Palin is married to an eskimo and if they get to the white house they will be serving walrus for state dinners.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that the number one bumber sticker in the state is, (and this is true):<BR/><BR/>"Coldest State, Hottest Gov." <BR/><BR/>Seriously speaking, Palin is no doubt a "maverick" in the John Mccain sense. She exposed her own Republican party croonies as crooks. She beat the incumbent Republican Gov in the primary and then she beat the Democrat in the general election; (and he was a former governor of the state).<BR/><BR/>She shores up the far right, brings some women into the voting fold and she is an "outsider" which the voters will be most attracted to.<BR/><BR/>But, she has been the chief executive of two bodies: first, she was the Mayor of Wasilla, a town with a population of something like 650 people. Second, she has been Governor of Alaska for 20 months. And the state isn't even attached to our own country!<BR/><BR/>The population of Alaska is 650,000people, which is just slightly larger than - the City of Miami. Our County has 2.5 million people in it.<BR/><BR/>The Republicans have been sticking it to Obama as not having enough experience. Now, McCain, who, if elected, will be the oldest President elected to a first term, has appointed the former mayor of Wasilla to be one heartbeat away from becoming the Leader of the free world.<BR/><BR/>This should get very interesting ..CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-44162695647717422392008-08-29T13:02:00.000-04:002008-08-29T13:02:00.000-04:00McCain just took the Election because Obama could ...McCain just took the Election because Obama could NOT bite his tongue and pick Clinton like Kennedy picked Johnson after bitter race.<BR/><BR/>I still support Obama but I like this Alaska Gov. she is full of fire and will rip Biden a new one.

But if you know me you know that I strongly advocate for better training for lawyers and judges. We should be trained liked doctors- with the same kind of trial by intense fire of handling lots of different cases over a few years while right out of law school. <BR/><BR/>And while there are many reasons a case is lost- the best attitude to have- and the attitude that makes you a winner is- "the fault is all mine. I made mistakes . I will learn from them and do better next time."<BR/><BR/>That's the type of lawyer I want representing me. When I trained young lawyers- and I did- I told them I never wanted to hear about the stupid jury- because you picked that stupid jury- so learn to do a better voire dire. <BR/><BR/>You will find without exception that the very best lawyers and doctors and just any professional are the ones who take full responsibility for their losses. It's why they don't lose much any more.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-21538266025285178002008-08-29T12:06:00.000-04:002008-08-29T12:06:00.000-04:00Capt:Hillary is probably thinking:I hope none of m...Capt:<BR/>Hillary is probably thinking:<BR/>I hope none of my supporters are really dumb enough to think that just becasue McSame put a woman on the ticket that they're going to vote for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-10745491424821228872008-08-29T11:29:00.000-04:002008-08-29T11:29:00.000-04:00"The judge asked if it was a plea of guilty or a p..."The judge asked if it was a plea of guilty or a plea of no contest.

We've all had juries who reached decisions that shocked us and all know that many trials a crap shoot. Additionally, our chances of success depend on things that we can't control (things we may be able to influence, but not control) like: the number and quality of witness(es) (and the information the witness(es) can provide), the amount, type and quality of the evidence, the judge, etc.<BR/><BR/>The truth is that we aren't totally (or even close to totally) responsible for our wins or loses. We certainly can affect a verdict, but, when we've got able opposition, can't fully determine its outcome. <BR/><BR/>That said, we weren't there to see what happened.
