:yeahthat: As I wrote at the time: More importantly, CEL III, who obviously wrote the papers, tried his best to elicit sanctions, for reasons known best to him. He employed his fine legal and academic education, every skill he had acquired from half a decade or so of practice with a good firm, and a...

Thanks!

I thought there was a way to delete a post, but now I can't find it.

Ah, I think I know what happened. IIRC, the delete option goes away after a few minutes.

Hi Foggy, a lively discussion about one of the Taitz Birther cases, Rhodes v. Macdonald (M.D. Ga.), has sprung up in the topic for People v. Trump, beginning here..

It might be a good idea to move the discussion to the Dregs of birther remainders topic in the Other weirdos subforum.

Blast from the past: 20550230-RHODES-v-MacDONALD-24-MOTION-for-Recusal-by-Connie-Rhodes-filed-by-Orly-Taitz-Taitz-Orly-Entered-10-02-2009-Gov-uscourts-gamd-77605-24-0.pdf Thanks. Could you -- or someone -- also post Judge Land's two unreported decisions awarding first $10,000 in sanctions and then ...

Yeah, initially a sanction of $10,000, after which Orly (or really her University of Chicago JD alleged inamorata) doubled down with a motion for reconsideration, to which the Judge responded by doubling the sanction amount.

In 1887 James Ruskin famously denounced a painting, "Nocturne in Black and Gold—The Falling Rocket," which had been exhibited by James McNeill Whistler. Ruskin wrote that he "never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public’s face.&quo...

Thanks all! My partner is keeping me company until they chase her out. Typing seems to set off the IV alarm, so prolly won’t be posting more tonight.

Waking up comfortably, but still groggy. Surgery apparently went fine, and I’ll never need to worry about my appendix again.

One of these days I’ll post a proper introduction, but not today.

Cheers

FYIO, I’m fine. I’m in an ambulance taking me from a small hospital to a larger one, there to have my appendix taken out. Simple surgery, I’ll be home tomorrow, or even tonight. A little woozy, or would have started a new thread somewhere. Follow up comments in a different thread, please. More late...

Foggy, thanks for posting your father's obituary.

I've never seen a photograph of Baron Trump in which he didn't look withdrawn and depressed, starting with the grotesque family "glamour" portrait by Regine Mahaux, with Baron sitting on a stuffed lion.

:nope: I doubt it. The first citation in the OED for attenuate as an adjective is from 1626. There are a half dozen citations from the 19th century. Ngrams show a dip in the 18th & 19th centuries, and a steady climb in the 20th & 21st centuries. ;) Haveing said that, we have no reason to bel...

Interesting. Has there already been testimony about the McDougal affair?

Edit: duh, Mr. Pecker. And maybe that lawyer.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'd like to read the brief, and that snippet probably supplies enough information to identify the case and download the pdf, but I think I'll wait and see if it surfaces. It's a helpful piece of evidence, but I'm not sure how admissions and potential collateral estoppel from ...

As I posted on Monday : I dunno, and I haven't been following the trial closely, but I suspect that the evidence shows that it was the regular course of the Trump Organization's business to maintain records of Trump's "personal" checking account. And I imagine that this would satisfy any a...

I guess you're following it more closely than I am. Four or seven of what?
