Circus

Man, the hearing in Florida this morning over where to bury Anna Nicole's body is a complete circus. Famous big bags of money Texas lawyer John O'Quinn is representing Anna's mom, and Daniel K. Stern has been on the stand for most of the morning. Craziness.
Everyone is firing off comments and the judge is only half-arse taking control. It is funny, however, that the judge refers to O'Quinn as "Tex" or "Texas." A couple of times he's said, "Calm down, Tex" and "I heard you, Texas."
If you're so inclined, you can watch it here beginning at 1:30 (they took a break for lunch.)
If This Was A Contingency Fee Case . . .

. . . then there are big ol' Plaintiff's lawyer tears rolling down his Plaintiff's lawyer cheeks.

This has apparently just appeared on the 'Net although it might be a couple of years old.
This Could Get Good
No Way
Is That Wrong?
Interesting legal point: Entering into someone's house without permission (even if you act creepy inside) is just a misdemeanor of criminal trespass. But if you enter into someone's house with the intent to commit theft or you actually commit theft once inside, you've bought yourself a second degree felony.
Interesting non-legal point: The victim was smokin' hot.
President's Day Is A Weird Holiday

Only those that control our lives, government offices and banks, are closed.
I went up to the courthouse a second ago and pushed my forehead against one of the glass doors and looked in. It looked dark in there. I even shook the latch really hard and then banged on the glass even harder. I even yelled, "Hello! I'm here for a mental commitment because I'm a serious threat to myself and others. I might even have had a bucket of crystal meth and a case of beer for lunch." Still nothing.
I hate this holiday.

Life's Troubling Questions
I always glance at the obituaries in the Morning News. This one stopped me down today. Anyone got any complaints about their life right now? Me neither.
On Age And Aging

I saw the new Hugh Grant movie this weekend and noticed how old he was looking.
In a twist of fate, the next day I stumbled across an old manila envelope that had pictures of me from 1993. I showed it to someone who noted "you were handsome."
That past tense kinda stuck with me.
