GeekLawyer’s Blog

Geeklawyer has been busy today (rather than working he spent the afternoon watching “I am Legend‘, the ho-hum OK-ish remake of the impeccable 1972 Omega Man with Charlton Heston) so he doesn’t have much time to rattle off sweary posts and biting invective. But, here are some things that caught his attention:

1) Geeklawyer was off getting hammered in Bavaria and so unable to vote for or promote WAC?’s entry for the American Bar Association’s ‘Best Business Blog’ award. So mad props to Dan Hull and his alter-ego Holden Oliver for winning despite that. As entertaining collateral damage they gave the blogs of the Wall Street Journal and Forbes one up the arse. Nice. Remember Geeklawyer’s saying kiddies:

“it isn’t enough to win: the path to the podium must be littered with the dead and dying bodies of one’s competitors children.”

2) Buffoon motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson, whose extravagantly laboured metaphors are as lardy as his arse, had his Gluteous Maximus handed to him on a platter. He demonstrated that he knew as little about data protection as he does about dieting by publishing his bank details in a press story to show that the HMRC data fiasco was nothing much to worry about and how no-one could abuse the data to his disadvantage. Result? Someone set up a direct debit to a Diabetes charity using those details. Ha ha - stupid cunt.

3) Apparently someone hasn’t told the filth that being drunk isn’t per se a crime. And certainly not one for which an entire pub can be hauled out into the street and made to perform demeaning sobriety tests on the pavements. Even if to do so would help prove publicans were serving drunk people. Imagine, people drunk in pubs?! Whatever next, “something must be done“. West Midlands filth, famed for endemic corruption torture and perjury are now now facing the consequences of enforcing Gordon Brown’s hatred of insobriety and pleasure. They are refusing to comment following a formal complaint. Geeklawyer hopes that those embarrassed in this fashion will sue the police for whatever human rights claim will stand under Article 8: trespass assault or whatever. Mind you, now that crime has been eradicated in the West Midlands the filth must find something to fill their timesheets with.

4) Geeklawyer would normally ascribe the collapse in legal aid to Machiavellian intriguing by the Illuminati but in truth it looks like good old fashioned incompetence and penny pinching by the government. I suppose we will eventually decay into a society where the accused will be aided by US style public defenders no-hopers paid £100 to defend a murder charge or where battered wives can’ get protection. Yay! Go libertarianism.
