School's Out -- Now What?

I know, we had it easy, just getting up in the morning, sending the kids out, talking to them some when you get home from work.

But now you might have them hanging around for extended periods, possibly even requiring interaction and exposure to other intimate moments that may interfere with important Heat pre-game rituals.

What's a parent to do?

Of course -- summer camp, the bestest way to simulate the routine of school when school is actually not in session.

We all know it's enriching -- that's why kids love going so much!

Anyways, Gloria Allred speaks out against cannibalism:

“In addition, Yovonka and I are very concerned about the issue of cannibalism and the number of cases that are being reported in other states and countries, such as Alabama, Canada, Maryland, Japan and Sweden,” Allred said.

A brave position, certainly, but where's the rebuttal?  What lawyer plans to challenge Ms. Allred on her provocative statement?

Unfortunately Magistrate Judge Brown retired before he finished his toe-tappin' life's work (it's on appeal), which means Judge Martinez now has to do it.

Oh yeah (yawn), Scott Rothstein is back, doing what Scott Rothstein always does.

Finally, you already knew this, but Rick Scott's a bully.

(BTW, is that not the best movie intro ever?)

Rothstein Scorecard -- Who Represents Who?

Well I hope everyone had a warm, loving, and peaceful Thanksgiving, and is now fighting over deals at Walmart -- that HDTV screen will only be on sale for two more hours!

I wonder if any meaning can be derived by looking at who is representing who in the Rothstein saga.

We know Scottie has loyal Marc Nurik, who recently has been cracking jokes and alternately acting as Scott's public psychologist:

"He did something that, when you think about it, is kind of extraordinary. He goes away to a country that has no extradition treaty with the U.S., reportedly, allegedly has a lot of money at his disposal, and chooses to come back and deal with this … I think because beneath it all, and not withstanding all the things that have been said about him, I believe that he is truly a decent human being, not withstanding flaws. I really do believe he did it out of, a true decent emotion to try to deal with this.''

Again, I have no problem with a public rehabilitation strategy. I just think, in the absence of other positive facts, this strategy is way too premature.

Marc would have you believe at the same time he is denying that Scott is cooperating with the feds and singing like a bird, Rothstein nonetheless has returned to "make everything right." How does that square up?

Rothstein's bankruptcy lawyer is Hinshaw's Michael D. Seese.

I agree with Bob Norman that Bill Scherer's amended complaint is an interesting read but a bit of a mess.

It is 289 pages long and asserts 245 counts. To be honest it reads like a placeholder, an effort to "occupy the field" and get in front of the other civil suits coming down the pike. Somebody at some point definitely needs to edit that thing.

Let's see -- Bob Josefsberg is representing Banyon COO Frank J. Preve -- what could that mean?

Bruce Lehr is representing Big Stu, Fred Haddad has Russ Adler's back, and Neal Sonnett is representing Grant Smith.

Russ even recently appeared in court on behalf of former Judge Seidlin.

It's a small town, huh?
