For my Lawyer Friends

Larry H. Parker has nothing on Melanie Berliet! In her compelling defense of Adam and Eve, Berliet claims extortion on the part of, you guessed it, the Almighty. She fights, she claws, she wins!

"Humanity at Large asks not for monetary compensation. They do, however, ask for the right to premarital relations without guilt, or the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, especially herpes. Humanity also posits that the sacrament of marriage be redefined as a union between any two beings wanting to make such a commitment to one another, including alpacas."

My Birthday Party ended in Assault

I don't have the energy to tell the whole story yet, but here is the review that I submitted to washingtonpost.com

Psychotic Bouncers/Terrible Time

Marvin is the worst establishment I have visited in DC. I should have known it would be bad when I encountered a huge wad of spit on the banister on the way up to the bar. The staff was beyond rude, and I was appalled at how snobby and sarcastic they were to me.

Then the bouncer threw my friend down the stairs. The bouncer was arrested, and now we are considering a civil suit against the place as well. Summary: intensely crowded, overpriced drinks, potential of getting assaulted by staff. Find another place to hang out.

The Law

Being a lawyer isn't always boring. Here is a tidbit from a case tried in Georgia (of course), sent to me by my friend David.

On April 5, 1996, this Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why this
Court should not impose Rule 11 sanctions upon him for filing a motion
for improper purposes. The motion which Plaintiff filed was entitled "
Motion to Kiss My Ass" (Doc. 107) in which he moved " all Americans
at large and one corrupt Judge Smith [to] kiss my got [sic] damn ass
sorry mother fucker you." This Court gave Plaintiff until April 25,
1996, to respond and specifically warned: " Failure to comply with
this Order will result in dismissal of this case." Plaintiff has
appealed the show-cause order to the United States Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit. Washington v. Alaimo, 934 F.Supp 1395 (S.D.Ga. 1996).
