Stay Away, Joe: Klock Inevitably Invokes "Peace Pipe" in Tribal Motion to Disqualify!

How is The Intrepid One™ able to elicit such delicious quotes?

(Maybe you need to interview the right people.)

Continuing her blockbuster reporting on the growing Miccosukees vs. All Their Former Lawyers mess, Julie managed to ask Joe about a motion to disqualify his law firm RKRPEVN, (aka the spy agency from Get Smart?) which is representing longtime former tribe attorney Dexter Lehtinen.

The motion was filed by current tribe attorney Bernie Roman:

"The idea that I represent other people that are adverse to the Indians so I can't represent Dexter is ludicrous," Klock said. He said adding that Roman, the tribe's Miami attorney, "has been smoking something. He must be passing around the peace pipe. It's hard to take this motion seriously."

I'm glad Joe stopped there.

In fact, it's taking every fiber in my being to not run with this and throw in every impermissible historic pop cultural Indian reference and/or caricature lurking in my subconscious and just set off on a wildly inappropriate yet epic riff.

But it's a holiday so I'll just note that I'm with Joe on the merits here -- the motion makes no sense, Ke-mo sa.... shoot!

The motion makes no sense.

Hi kids, it sure felt like we had a monumental weekend, is everyone ready to get back to work?

Here are a few random things I am thinking about at this moment:

RKRPEVN Rasco Klock (hey, they took up my suggestion!) partner Jack Shawde is a pretty damn fine guitarist.

Check him out with Magda Hiller, above.

Wife responsible for not turning in husband's fraud?

On Friday, surrounded by family and friends, Gamblin was sentenced to 15 months in prison for being loyal to Roger Gamblin, her husband of 28 years, instead of turning him into authorities and admitting what she knew about the spectacular collapse of Flagler Title Co.

"I'm a good person," the much thinner and grayer version of the once bubbly blonde told U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra. "I just made some really bad decisions. I'd do anything I could to make it right."

After listening to Gamblin's sister pledge to help her sibling regain her moral compass and an insurer criticize Roger and Peggy Gamblin for the widespread damage they caused, Marra chose a middle ground.

Girl in a Bar, your thoughts please.

Somebody in Indiana (ok, it's the AG) isn't buying what Palm Beach foreclosure defense attorney Thomas Matevia is selling.

And finally, today is is the anniversary of the Beatles' last live concert (not counting the Apple rooftop), in Candlestick Park, San Francisco in 1966(!).

Thirty three and a third minutes of off-key screaming adulation.

(Just like when I make an appearance at calendar call.)

Rock on John and Georgy!
