Basking In The Glory

Well, at the close of plaintiff's case this morning I moved to dismiss all counts against my client. Legal argument went on for about 2-1/2 hours after which the judge indicated that he'd render his decision after lunch. The judge granted my motion. Damn I'm good! Never even had to put my client on the stand or even put a single document into evidence.

Anyway, that gave me a little time to surf around the internet and come up with a few tidbits offered for your amusement.

First off, speaking of defendants, it looks like Martha Stewart is already taking care of the domestic help for her soon to be new digs:

We know from Martha Stewart's TV show and magazine that she likes to plan ahead, so this story doesn't seem so far-fetched.

According to my sources, Stewart, who is convinced she will definitely be sent to Danbury Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn., is taking no chances on her prison stay. She has apparently sought out and found an inmate who is already incarcerated there and willing to work for her.

This woman, who is serving time for embezzlement, is supposed to be Martha's eyes and ears, sort of a glorified assistant, during what could be a 16-month run in the big house, sources said.

You'd never see this in Iraq when Saddam was running things. America, what a country! Then we have the folks at PETA at it again with their campaign against KFC. Next thing you know they'll be after my Boston Chicken.

And finally, we have this gem from the BBC:

Violinists in a German orchestra are suing for a pay rise on the grounds that they play many more notes per concert than their colleagues.

The 16 violinists at the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn say they work much harder than their fellow musicians.

The violinists say they should receive an extra £60 per rehearsal or performance from their employer, the city of Bonn, to reflect the "extra notes" they have to read and play.

It reminds me of the Emperor's comment to Mozart in Amadeus: "Too many notes."

Well, my wife and I are going to enjoy a nice bottle of Veuve Clicquot to celebrate. 'Night all!
