This Christmas morn we have lost a great entertainer. God bless you, James Brown, and thank you for everything.
Apparently the Smithsonian Institution is putting together an exhibit on hip-hop and rap culture. I for one say that it is about time. No longer will rappers and hip-hop artists be considered sub-standard musicians. Finally they will receive the credit they deserve for sampling anothers artist's creative work and adding it to a repetitive drum machine hook while laying down raunchy, near-obscene lyrics over it all. That's art, yeeeaaahhhh!
Motions to Compel and Continuances
201(k) letters, how many chances?
Hearings and Trials and Court Clerks with ZING!
These are a few of my favorite things.....
Rule 137 sanctions make opposing counsel look stupid
Reconciliation possible? Not even with Cupid...
My Motion to Strike smacks you with a loud PING!
These are a few of my favorite things......
Judges who wink and Experts who bumble
Counsel's closing argument was a long, ugly stumble
My cross-examination makes your witnesses sing!
These are a few of my favorite things...
When the Court's closed,
When the client whines,
When my paralegal's mad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feeeeeeeeeellllllllllll soooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddd!
