Random Musings

As I look over the stats and tools of this blog, I’m kind of amazed. WordPress’ Akismet spam catcher does an absolutely amazing job of nuking comment spam. Every now and then, I go check the quarantine area to make sure that nothing “good” is in jail. That rarely happens. I am kinda amazed at the comment spam that is in there, though. It’s not the Viagra stuff or the mortgage stuff or the insurance stuff. There’s plenty of that. It’s the deluge of cheap antibiotics being touted. Is there really a market for such a thing? Who knew? Oh, and Brit’s crotch shot is approaching its 100,000th view on this blog. I find it stunning that so many of you who are not interested in that picture wind up here to actually read what I have to carp about.

Abuse of Law and Smoke

This is a picture of Jonathan P. Selber. He’s a Harvard educated lawyer that resides in New York City and is billed as a super lawyer. He’s also a self-righteous bully who abuses the legal system (my opinion) in order to get his way. And what is his way? Bludgeoning other tenants in his apartment building that smoke. He claims that the slight whiff of smoke that is noticeable in the common areas of his building is an affront. Because he is a “super lawyer”, he has notified the smoker in question that he intends to sue her into submission. ABC’s John Stossel presents the story of abuse and indigination. In Selber’s letter to the smoker he states “We are both lawyers, and both litigators, for whom the usual barriers to litigation are minimal.” He was referring to his wife as part of the we. What a tool.
