CONNECT THE DOTS

First we want to take a moment an express a personal thought. It is our blog and we reserve the right, from time to time, to express a personal opinion.

RE: The lockdown. After careful consideration we have reached this conclusion:

WE ARE SICK OF THIS CRAP...ARrrrrrgh.

All righty, that is off our mind, lets move on.

Conspiracy theorists love this.

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair; Hover through the fog and filthy air"
Macbeth, Act I, Scene I. 

1) A lawyer gets in serious trouble for shenanigans with the Miccosukee tribe.
2) He gets wacked but good in federal court and the judge refers him to the Bar.
3) The Bar appoints Tunis as the referee. (Aside- why are they appointed as referees? Why not judges? And if they are appointed as a referee do they take the bench in a stripped shirt and if they do that, why haven't we ever seen this wonderful spectacle?)
4) Tunis holds hearings and recommends disbarment.
5) The Florida Supreme Court affirms.
6) The lawyer is disbarred, which these days, sitting at home, is not much different than the rest of us.
7) The lawyer is friends/mentor with a well-known Gadfly who Harold Stassen-like, keeps running for judge.
8) The candidate, no polymath she, immediately Googles "Harold Stassen" to try and discern Rumpole's brilliant historical reference. Confused about a seemingly irrelevant reference to her math skills, she then Googles "polymath" and the double insult finally dawns on her.
9) The disbarred lawyer (Macbeth for our purposes)  gets the candidate -hereinafter on the blog to be known as "Lady Macbeth-Stassen" (LMS) (and  at times"the Covid-19 Candidate", because more hoi polloi get that damaging reference), gets Lady Macbeth-Stassen to switch races and challenge Judge Tunis: "When the hurlyburly's done, When the battle's lost and won,"  thereby bringing happiness to the disbarred lawyer, but much like when Lady Macbeth awakes from her famous sleep-walking scene, nothing good happens to her.
10) LMS -reading this- now nervously ponders whether she will be forced to read Macbeth, something she dodged in high school during her formative anti-polymath years, to figure out what this new allegorical turn in the blog means for her.
11) Fast forward to Macbeth, Act I, scene V, when Lady Macbeth, reading a letter from her husband, learns that three witches have prophesied his future as King: "When I burned in desire to question them further, they made themselves air into which they vanished. Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it, came missives from the King, who all-hailed me 'Thane Of Crawdor,  by which title before, these weird sisters saluted  me: "Hail King that shall be.." 

What shall become of Lady Macbeth-Stassen? Shall our Macbeth assume the throne and get his vindication, or shall LMS wander the streets of Hialeah late at night muttering "Out damned spot! Out!...will these hands ne're be clean?"

Stay Tuned....
