  1. Hey, everybody. It's about that time to cajole your friends and colleagues into voting for you as a super duper elite lawyer so that you may wallow in your ersatz self-importance and watch all those phone lines light up with oh-so eager clients-to-be, wanting to throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at your feet because you are a super lawyer. Poor bastards!

  4. I may sell my Chicken Delicious franchises in Sheboygan and come back on the bench. Of course I will place my cannabis farm investments in a blind trust.

  5. Is Wizeman's Maybach the lime green one I keep seeing in south beach outside of prime one? Yellow leather seats and flashy red metallic rims

  6. If we need judges why not bring back Shelly Schwartz? He'd whip those divisions into shape.
