ON STRIKE

 Hollywood Writers Guild has gone on strike. 

We are striking in sympathy. 

What will our robed readers do to occupy their day? 

There's always Solitaire. 

How many of you have seen judges playing Solitaire on the bench? 

We can think of six judges over the years we saw playing Solitaire during a motion or hearing. 

Our best line at a sidebar was "Move the black Ten to the red Jack Judge..." 


VERDICT WATCH

Meanwhile we are on DAY THREE of a verdict watch in Tallahassee as Mr. Markus and Ms. Moss anxiously await the verdict in their defense of embattled former gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillium.  The jury ended day one asking the question if they could acquit one defendant and convict the other.  The trial had it all, including NYC River cruises, tickets to Hamilton and FBI agents faking being GF/BF with each other. There was some scintillating Alexander Hamilton cross by Mr. Markus.  He always had some Broadway in him. 

So much for juries understanding the instruction that they have to consider the evidence against each defendant individually.

  5. Rump - how often have you been accused or rape?
    His often was Obama accused ? Or the Bushes. Or MsCain. Or Mitt Romney.
    But for some reason there are dozens of women who claim the last president raped them.
    Seems like classic 404(b) material.
