- "MOSCOW (AP) -- A meteor that scientists estimate weighed 10 tons streaked at supersonic speed over Russia's Ural Mountains on Friday, setting off blasts that injured some 500 people and frightened countless more." What? Must see videos.
- Mrs. LL predicted what would happen in a scene in The Office last night seconds after she saw the premise of the scene. She has a crazy knack for that.
- The CEO of bankrupt American Airlines will receive nearly $20 million after the airline merges with US Air. Explain that to me. Please.
- The new president of UTA is named Vistasp Karbhari.
- Language warning, but an entertaining fight video in a hotel lobby between a fat and drunk white guy and a little black guy is here. It's worth watching the whole thing but the fight starts at around the 2:20 mark.
- I keep hearing good things about The Americans and House of Cards.
- I was watching CNN last night while the anchor was talking to a 14 year old girl who was on the stranded cruise ship. When she responded that she was most looking forward to eating "greasy food" upon her return, the anchor said, "then your situation can't be that bad." After the next question, she started crying which gave rise to some great awkwardness.
- A lot of people are saying the passengers of the cruise ship have a great lawsuit against Carnival. Not so fast. You were inconvenienced for three days. Yeah, you deserve a little compensation but it's not like your spouse was killed or you've got permanent brain damage.
- The Dallas DA did not appear to testify in a hearing yesterday accusing him of, in essence, prosecuting someone at the request of a big donor (Lisa Blue, whom I despise). His lawyers said that he was sick but the DA was seen in the courthouse earlier that day. Rumors are circulating that the FBI is after him, and I predict a big scandal is forthcoming.
- The headline in my trial of "Jury Gives Maximum Sentence" is a little misleading. He was acquitted of the charge in the indictment (which carried life in prison without parole), acquitted of a lesser charge of Aggravated Sexual Assault (which carried a possibility of 30 real years before parole eligibility), but convicted of a second degree felony (parole eligible after 10 years.)
- That being said, it was gut wrenching to be in the courtroom post verdict with the family.
- The defendant handed me a letter on the last day of trial. "I just want to thank you." As much as criminal defense is an emotional business for those who care about what they do, there are some good moments. But there are a lot of bad ones.

DANG BG she is HOT!!!
Ban all assualt meteorites before they start reeking havok here in America! Make this a meteorite free zone...that will take care of the problem.
The male CNN interviewer was idiotic. In speaking with one passenger, he compared the ordeal to hurricane Katrina. The passenger said, No, it was just a bad vacation.
The CEO of bankrupt American Airlines will receive nearly $20 million after the airline merges with US Air. Explain that to me. Please.
You see Timmy... Well, I'm sorry dude. I give up. I don't have anything smart or clever to say.
Lisa Blue rocks it. True that on the cruise ship but what a freaking mess. Just got the Billy Joe McAllister title of yesterday. Wow. Slow here this morning.
How " gut wrenching" was it to think about the child who was assaulted?
Hey LL; were you weaned way too early?
I don't know how I'll make it through the weekend after reading your gut wrenching account of the sexual assault trial's verdict and aftermath. Gut wrenching!
Sweet Jesus I care so much!
That tattoo is hideous!
I'm unclear on one thing: did Bacon grade UP the RTG for her man hands, or DOWN because he couldn't see her penis?
I know some people on the Concordia who would have gladly switched places.
As far a CEOs of companies getting big payouts to sell, it is simple.
When a CEO runs out of creativity and energy and losses their ability to really lead a company, most of them look to cash out. I have worked for 3 fortune 500 companies and it was always the same. They don't do the right thing and gracefully step aside to allow more energetic leadership, at that level they have to be bought.
Good riddance. $20 million is cheap to get rid of a fortune 100 CEO without good ideas. They would do more damage staying in place.
I don't know what happened to cause that fight, but the big guy deserved a beating for no other reason than he was extremely abusive to everyone. He wanted somebody to call the cops after the little guy got going, but why didn't he (big guy) do that earlier if he felt he was wronged?
And how lame is your altercation if it can be broken up by two average-sized females?
Then, right at the very end, drunk guy must have said something really bad because the little gal hauled off and punched him, after she spent all that time separating them!
That video, plus the sonic boomski meteor footage, make an excellent weekending pair
Did everybody get their fill of V-D wishes yesterday?
Re: RMT girl. With all the work she's had done, you'd think she would have fixed that bulb-like nose. Nonetheless, i think i could get over it if i buried my head somewhere else.
RT Girl = FingerFail !!!
Blue Arm!
A mouth like Mr. Ed; hideous tattoo and pock-marked face? Yes Bacon, she is one hell of a babe. Now, go back to Wal-Mart to get your girl watching jollies!
If you despise Her, I now Love Her.
You defend child sex offenders?
I didn't get VD but thanks anyway.
I thought this was a fake set up fight, then I knew it was when the small woman threw the punch at the end..too funny!
Ok Bacon, it's time to move on. You already outed yourself so the scale matters no more.
She has a man face...
"You defend child sex offenders?"
He's a Lawyer, they wear Neckties to hold the Foreskin back.
DF Lisa Blue (my new Hero)
The reason Horton is getting 20 million is because he couldnt screw then out of 21 million. Paid for off the backs of the employees. Corporate greed and Republican values go hand in hand.
RTG: HOT!?!? Really Bacon? More proof of your questionable sexuality. I think BG throws these clunkers in just to see what you are gonna say.
9:32 LMFAO
If you're an adult and decide to sexually assault your own daughter, you deserve to be in jail the rest of your life. He's about to see how his fellow inmates love child molesters! It's so gut wrenching.
A 10 YEAR OLD GIRL. Good grief. Sad Barry!
A question to you guys that argue about how hot (or not) the RTG is - Are y'all drop-dead, sizzling-hot, handsome?
But that's a silly question, you must be or you wouldn't pick on such minor (if that) imperfections on these women. I bet you only hang around with women that are comparable to a former Miss Universe ..... or Miss Galaxy...or... Miss Fairest of them All.
Hope you guys have a good weekend in Fantasy Land. I bet some (im)perfect women love you anyway.
Explain this to me, please. Watkins brought charges against Hill, for 50 million that Blue said she was owed, but the charge was dropped and Blue only got 22 million. And Blue is the widow of Barron who was a billion dollar asbestos lawyer, who covered up Edwards affair, before dying of blood cancer at the age of 61.
1036 - Exactly what is "corporate greed"? Or more specifically, what is your definition of the term?
I love the pictures of those vacation "survivors" wearing stolen cruise ship robes. Was that their way of showing solidarity? ATT-I-CA! ATT-I-CA!
That greasy food-wanting girl can go to hell. Why wasn't she in school?
today's RTG has nice Urals as well.
Word Bile maybe you can spew some good excuses about American Airlines raping its employees. Let me go get some popcorn and sit back and wait for your always witty retorts. I have to keep reminding myself you have done very well in the fast food industry being a store manager and all.
11:15, how old are you?
1115 - Why should I "spew some good excuses about American Airlines" for any reason? I simply asked for 1036's (your?) definition of a term. Why did that elicit such hostility from you?
P.S. I haven't managed a fast food restaurant in years. I followed my dream and became a commenter on this blog.
How could any normal person sexually molest a child???
I will never understand.
Berry, did he he make advances to you?
No Sir...I was on the cruise and it was 5 days of hell.
Barry was right to represent him. If he didn't get proper counsel then he could turn around and appeal his sentence. I would rather get it right the first time then see this dirtbag get out on a legal technicality.
That said - I hope he gets a smelly boyfriend in jail.
You spoke too soon on that cruise...
Am hearing reports that the group that they sent by bus to New Orleans to fly back today had many that were not booked on flights and Carnival left them to fend for themselves. According to a friend, her daughter was lucky that she had a travel agent friend who booked her on the flight.
Can't believe that any company would be so incompetent on their response to this accident. I realize the accident was not their fault, but the response that they have had is ridiculous.
Seems like they are simply inviting lawsuits by treating the people like they are. Should be trying to butter people up by chartering several jets to fly everyone out of Mobile instead of sticking them on buses for trips.
nice floaties
Cruise passengers were refunded 100% of the cruise charges, had all onboard charges wiped out, got $500 cash and will get a free cruise of equal or greater value at a future date.
They made out like bandits.
The sun rises.
Barry posts a skank RTG.
The sun sets.
A black democrat involved in a scandal? I'm shocked. Ray Nagin, Kwame Kilpatrick, Jessie Jackson Jr., Marion Berry, Alcee Hastings, Gloria Davis, Valerie Jarrett, Mrs. John Conyers, Bertha Lewis, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Ray Wylie Price, William Jefferson, Sowande Omokunde,and Franklin Raines are all in good company.
I escaped from the Grapevine PD thanks to the map tattoo on the RT chick's arm.

Clearly not an asteroid, the Chelyabinsk meteor came from the direction of the Sun, where Planet X, aka Nibiru, is wafting its vast debris ridden tail. This meteor event is not the first nor will it be the last during this passage. Fireballs have been on the increase since Planet X arrived in the inner solar system in 2003. They have screamed across several countries or provinces or states, outside of any anticipated regular meteor showers. Is this meteor related to 2012 DA14, recently discovered and traced to pass between the Earth and Moon later on the same day as the Chelyabinsk meteor? There is no relationship, as 2012 DA14 is an asteroid dislodged from its usual path by the swirling in the tail of Planet X.
The Russians have claimed that they shot down the Chelyabinsk meteor, unsure if it were a missile, an attack, and in any case trying to diminish the size and potential impact. This is true, and as meteors are slowed by the atmosphere, and as the flaming meteor makes an unmistakable target, they were able to connect. Does the Chelyabinsk meteor usher in a new era of larger and more devastating fireballs descending upon the Earth? Without a question, and all will be coming from the direction of the Sun. Just another fact the cover-up will be unable to adequately explain. Just another reason why Obama needs to proceed with haste to confess that a cover-up has existed since Reagan’s Executive Order on the matter. Or will yet more lies be generated by NASA.

I would give anthing if I could submit an insurance claim with the cause listed as METEORITE!
I thought the RTG pic was of a Seahorse...of course.

It looks like there's one of them Bagina's or somethin under her armpit.

I've been wondering, Wordy, if you have written permission to be using the image of Bob Dobbs or if you are infringing on their copyright.
Word Bile if you know about American Airlines and what they have done why would you ask to define Greed? Check out their BOD all Republicans and upper management all Republicans. It would be nice for once you could side with working blue collar Americans getting screwed. You spew alot of shit some of it spot on but I bet if we actually knew you we would find out your some type of free loader talking a good game.
The Russian meteor was estimated moving at 8 to 11 miles per second. The Russian S400 Triumf SAM moves at 3 miles per second. "Easy as cake"
337 - Is it that difficult for you to define the terms you used? I didn't mean to embarrass you, I just wanted to know your frame of reference. You've apparently heard someone say that something was somehow Republicans' fault, and you dutifully repeated it, but you don't even know what you're saying. And my calling on you to explain what you meant publicly humiliated you. No wonder you're mad at me.
310 - Do you wonder about things like that a lot?
SO THE FED WANTS TO BUY 1.6 BILLION BULLETS...5 FOE EACH MAN WOMAN AND CHILD IN AMERICA...MOW THAT'S GUN CONTROLL CHEF
Comments about what other prisoners will do to the child molester makes me wonder if he has anything to worry about...ever look at how many in prison are in for child assault...I have, they are big portion, so I'm sure they stick together.
Just like I posted Word Bile. Talking out your ass about crap you know nothing about. Now back under the bridge you little Republican Troll.
5:09 PM
Yes I do. I'm guessing by your answer you don't, and using someones copyrighted intellectual property without permission is called, oh what is it, oh yea, plagiarism.
the american ceo should get more money because he helped get those of usmwho travel get low prices formyears
As I recall,as a D.A., you never pushed too hard when it came to child molesters and went with as little as you could get away with, instead of pushing for each victim to be vindicated. The average citizen has no idea what child molestation can do to a victim. And when it's a family member, it is far worse! When I was 8, I was molested by a brother-in-law. When I was 11 I was molested by another brother-in-law. When I was 14, I became pregnant by one. Until the pregnancy, no one in the family stepped up. And never were any criminal charges filed. And we were an upper middle class family, so excuses don't work in this situation! Those men were assaulted as children or any of the typical excuses made for people justifying such heinous behaviors!
When actual criminal charges are filed, it needs to be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! What is the world coming to when we do not protect our children? (and I mean anyone that is not of the age of consent!) The result of such assaults have repercussions on that child's life from now on in so many aspects of their life. Anyone that is sick and twisted enough to have sexual contact or assault of a child, much less a relative, deserves the harshest punishment our laws allow. In my opinion, they should be literally castrated and not be segregated but placed in general population in prison with a giant "CM" (Child Molester) tattoo on their forehead!
I can not for the life of me understand how an attorney can defend someone like that! I know everyone has a right to an attorney, but how you guys live in your skin, I do not comprehend! Perhaps if you had to go hear these children interviewed in person or go to a few sexual assault crime scenes, your soul might be restored? I doubt it though, especially you being a former prosecutor! I just don't grasp how you can do it?
I just keep reminding myself that "what goes around comes around". Maybe not even in this life, but ultimately.
740 - a) Since you don't really understand what the term plagiarism means, I'm going to assume you're also not much of an expert on copyright law; b) When I first chose the avatar back in 1956, I was looking for something that symbolized my life of wealth, luck and untrammelled sex appeal. (Note: that was plagiarism.) Or maybe I was just looking for a pipe and a grin. Nonetheless, offending anyone's legal sensibilities, much less those of the freewheeling CSG, wasn't a concern. However, if I get a C&D from the Church, I'll be sure to let you know.
659 - I'm not sure that politely asking you to define your terms constitutes trolling. You're very defensive about this. Is it because you don't understand the term you used, or because you used the term in a public setting without really knowing what it meant?
You're a hypocrite Green! Most of your trials even you gab about on this blog, but when someone else puts their thoughts about one of your clients, you won't publish them. You may be a defense attorney, but even you should know that not everyone is innocent! Get off your high horse.
7:33
Publish your thoughts on your own blog site. You have one....don't you?
You can always write a letter to the Editor at the Mess, maybe they'll publish your conjecture and possible libelous opinions.
7:33
And...
Don't you find it curious that Barry posted your comments of your negative view towards him?
What does that say about the character....of both parties?
1:39------------
I know, I know! Let me answer!
The answer is:
Neither one of them has any?
949 Because he is a scum defense lawyer. It is all about the money. You think he would feel the same if it were one of his step daughters. A child preditor will never be rehabed. They should just be put out on the square and put before a firing squad. Espcecially if it is thier own child. They should all rot in hell. He can you molest your own child. Perverts. Who cares if they even get a trial!
10:33
Now there is one open-minded individual...
"A child preditor will never be rehabed."
And you know this Doctor.......?
9:09 A pervert is a pervert is a pervert.T here are a lot of sexual offenses out there and the people who commit them don't get caught very often. When an offender is caught and has a thorough evaluation with a polygraph backup, he will reveal dozens, sometimes hundreds of offenses he was never apprehended for. In an unpublished study by Pamela Van Wyk, 26 offenders in her incarcerated treatment program entered the program admitting an average of 3 victims each. Faced with a polygraph and the necessity of passing it to stay in the treatment program, the next group of 23 men revealed an average of 175 victims each."
Incest offenders ranged between 4 and 10 percent.
Rapists ranged between 7 and 35 percent.
Child molesters with female victims ranged between 10 and 29 percent.
Child molesters with male victims ranged between 13 and 40 percent.
Exhibitionists ranged between 41 and 71 percent.
Like I said once a pervert always a pervert!!
Using ATSA’s math, each released sex offender has 5.2 victims in the 25 years after his release.
A study by ATSA in 2007 of its own members shows that they don’t even believe treatment works. 63% of their member professionals reported “little hope for a cure”, and 88% “feared recidivism after treatment.”
By stating to millions of people worldwide that only 25% of released sex offenders re-offend, a tremendous disservice to the children who suffer heinous sexual abuse has been done and a substantial gain for child molesters, who will continue to try to convince the public that they are not a danger to society, has been delivered.
10:33 My guess is your one of those offenders. Bet you repeat your offense again within the next 5 years. You probably think 11 year olds are seducing you. There are alot of sick f#&@'s in this world.
For some unknown reason, most of LL's readers hate unions. When AA filed bankrupt, the pilot union was blamed. The pilots didn't financially run the business into the ground. All the AA employees took a 30% pay-cut to keep AA out of bankruptcy the first time around. Before the ink was even dry, the executives took a large (million $$$'s) bonus. In other words, "Screw you worker bees. We are the queen bee." Four years later, the executives are blaming the unions for the bankruptcy. The unions were always there, it was mismanagement that created the bankruptcy. Why is Horton getting $20 million? Because all executives get these huge bonuses upon signing on with the company. They all look out for each other.
