And contrary to your assertion, I have NOT been sued in 3 malpractice cases, as you allege, nor have any of the firms with whom I have been associated. Should you really want to know the truth, I have taken a brief sabbatical from the practice of law (primarily because I have the financial means to do so). I may or may not run for a judgeship again. If I do, and the papers are in my hands as we speek, I intend to win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-41010361310961312862007-06-15T19:06:00.000-04:002007-06-15T19:06:00.000-04:00i would be considered a conservitive but not a str...i would be considered a conservitive but not a strict republican. it does seem to be a bad war. we probably could have handled things more effective in other ways. u are so right on the plite of our children. can u imagine if the gov took a million dolars and put it in to an account for every poor family and let them draw off the intrest. that would be a lot cheaper than the war. we could be spending money on information and securing the borders. just sounds smarter way to go to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-91733678635050693452007-06-15T09:46:00.000-04:002007-06-15T09:46:00.000-04:00All that being said, W's approval #s are higher th...All that being said, W's approval #s are higher than our democrat congress' #sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-26606513822792963812007-06-14T15:31:00.000-04:002007-06-14T15:31:00.000-04:00Rumpole, I'm with you.

Bush blasted Clinton for "nation building" and so did Limbaugh. What do they have to say about that, in light of what's going on in Iraq? The type of person who writes in as a pseudo Limbaugh isn't a conservative or even a simple antagonist - he/she is just a person who has an easy way with racist language, but someone who doesn't really like to think about the issues that need to be dealt with. What a sorry condition our country is in that there are still about 30% of the people supporting this president. And please, don't tell me its any American's obligation to support the office of the presidency. When we ask the president to stop defiling our country, we are respecting the presidency. By the way, if someone were to burn an American Flag on the streetcorner, it wouldn't much matter. The flag doesn't represent the beautiful things that it used to anymore anyway. We are a nation that tortures. We are a nation that villifies communists and dictatorships yet supports eavesdropping and spying on our own citizenry. We spend billions to kill in a war that has none of the necessary components that were present for World War II, not even after 9/11. As Rump noted, we could have solved so many problems in this country with the money spent in Iraq, but our fear drove us to sign off on an unimaginably costly war, with negative returns. Maybe burning the flag is the only way to save the principals it once stood for. If you are a defender of george bush and the war in iraq, you neither support are troops nor love your country - if you insist on your love of country while continuing your support for Bush and the war then your ignorance and obstinance alone are killing the country you say you love. What's so wrong with bringing our troops home, and spending 100 million a day on education and healthcare instead? Do you really think we're less likely to be attacked by a terrorist nutjob in the future either way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-74395421734996165792007-06-14T13:21:00.000-04:002007-06-14T13:21:00.000-04:00To 12:15: you are simpleminded.

Did you read it all the ones that followed. They were a sarcastic condemnation of the aristocracy in this country and how they talk about the tragedy behind closed doors. It was in no way intended to be a truthful articulation of the author's mindset, which by the way has been nominated for awards for his civil rights work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-46284838403910199752007-06-14T13:07:00.000-04:002007-06-14T13:07:00.000-04:00I've enjoyed this blog immensely, but this post is...I've enjoyed this blog immensely, but this post is pure hackery.

Health care and the war for oil. <BR/><BR/>The problem is that every time race is mentioned, a slime bucket emerges from under his rock showing his true colors, but is so cowardly that he hides behind a pseudonym like "fake RUSH LIMBAUGH". ( see 6/13/07 4:43 pm). Those comments were abhorrent, yet were allowed to be posted. Why Rumpole? As an African American attorney who regularly reads your blog, I have to wonder who this bigot is and is he alone? When you post this trash, do you condone it? <BR/><BR/>To the coward, who probably smiles in the face of every African American he encounters at the courthouse , pretending to tolerant ,why does the mother have to be a nappy headed ho? Why did the coward believe that it was appropriate to resort to calling her a crack head? Why do you assume that she had the child out of wedlock? I saw this story on the news months ago and I saw none of that. Does every African American in your opinion warrant such harsh words? <BR/><BR/>The issue plain and simple is that thousands of young men and women are needlessly dying... some from the war and some from poor health care. No mother should have to chose between food and health care and for some reason, dental care does not count in most insurance packages as health care. It is a supplement, like vision care . Every child in America should have the right to proper and adequate health, dental and vision care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-87216562988904887492007-06-14T11:33:00.000-04:002007-06-14T11:33:00.000-04:00Today's Daily Business Review says Judge Klein "st...Today's Daily Business Review says Judge Klein "stepped down in late May after the Miami-Dade state attorney's office complained about his conduct."<BR/>www.DailyBusinessReview.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-48197663594781548732007-06-14T10:49:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:49:00.000-04:00Mandela stole that line from someone else: the co...Mandela stole that line from someone else: the correct quote is that a society's decency is measured by how it treats its dead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1482605610548923922007-06-14T10:23:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:23:00.000-04:00Rump, bravo, well said.

If they come from the aforementioned communities they are destined for the Ivy League and investment banks, wall street, blue blood businesses such as insurance, the fortune 1000 and the large law firms. the rest of america's children are expendable and are to be toyed with for our pleasure- we do not care if they die in Iraq or in drive by shootings or from crack cocaine-which our cia admitted to flooding the streets of LA with. If this country gave a shit about children- there would be gun control- after school programs and so many other things. Miami builds an opera house that will cost a billion and already has financial problems and Orlando is getting ready to build the same. obviously most americans fear loss of their job or their government because between Iraq, gun violence, the homeless, children in poverty, etc, we are not even in the top 50 nations for the way we treat our citizens and run our society. all we are is a military bully with superior technology in military industries such as planes and weapons-that's all we are- we would rather train our youth to kill iraqis than cure disease and poverty. and if you don't believe me- we average 15000 handgun deaths a year in this country- some other democracies have less than 50. we train our children thru violent movies and tv to be violent which is abuse. i will stop now before i get arrested for insurrection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-67054913430228158332007-06-13T20:08:00.000-04:002007-06-13T20:08:00.000-04:00I think the kid died of malpractice at the emergec...I think the kid died of malpractice at the emergecy room.
