The Law Site

As a non-partisan law website, I will give time to any windbag that has something to say about the issue of law. This week, we have a high ranking hack in Justice Antonin Scalia.

When I was growing up in Plains, Georgia, home of Jimmy Carter, peanuts were a big part of my life. Many folks around made their living, as the President once did, from peanut farming. It was no surprise they made their way into our diets in a big way. Before I knew about peanut butter cups and ice cream, the original peanut treat were peanut butter cookies. After mixing up a batch, I would have to lick the beater clean, as well as the bowl. Then, the cookies came out of the oven soft and moist. They stayed that way for days! They never got hard as many cookies tend to. A yummy peanut buttery treat was never more than a few minutes away. Here is a recipe:

1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Press 3/4 inch balls down with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees.

After beating in the vanilla and egg with my old mixer, I realized how much easier it would have been with an Eclectrics® Mixer. Peanut butter isn’t the smoothest or most viscous substance to work with, sometimes a large batch of peanut butter dough has my old mixer about to crumble. That isn’t the case with the Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer. It features hands-free mixing capability with two professional grade rotating heads. It had 12 settings to mix anything up perfectly. Quiet operation and a three year limited warranty means the Hamilton Beach® Mixer will never give you any headaches.

Louisiana seems to be a hotbed of late for racial tensions. First, it was the Jena 6 controversy, then a noose hanging. The state then proceeded to elect a young Indian man as governor and went back to another race-based story this week. A bunch of white workers in the parish DA’s office who were replaced by a black incoming District Attorney are getting closer to winning their cases against the city.

A former middle school principal who was making nearly $80,000 a year admitted to having a problem with alcohol and narcotics. It was clear when he was caught selling methamphetamine out of his office. Though he wasn’t selling drugs to children, at least no cases are known, he still distributed the drug on school grounds. It’s surprising he will only get two to four years after this is revealed.

You would think being in Florida that I would get tired of Disney World. However, it doesn’t take very long knowing me before you find out I always crave more mouse. Like Disney itself, I can’t just let it go I have to do at least four sequels. This is why I practically live in Orlando. It was only natural that I get a Orlando rental home so I wouldn’t be spending so much of my money on lodging costs.

I am so glad I have these blogs to keep me sane. It allows me to stay at home where I get free reign to do as I please. I never thought I’d get to work at home, but it looks as if it is finally a reality. The next step will be doing this out of my own home, which I will purchase with my never ending bank account in the Cayman Islands.

Today, I finally convinced a colleague of mine to seek addiction treatment for her compulsion in inhaling gas fumes. You might think the law field is devoid of habitual criminal drug offenders, but that is not the case. My secretary starting smelling like gasoline when I found out she routinely huffed it throughout the day. We all hope she can overcome her addiction.

It’s funny who you will run into on a routine trip to the supermarket. I was up at the store getting some orange juice, as I needed the refreshing vitamin C and sugary tartness to get me through my day. I ran into none other than Jane Iredale. You might be asking who Jane is. Well, I don’t really know. She seemed to know me. I guess these kind of exchanges are just a natural part of being a hotshot lawyer.

I was in court the other day at some important trial. I can’t really get into details, but lunch hour was needed. A prosecutor commented about the quoizel lighting, and I thought he said something about Quizno’s Subs. You know the place - the one that makes toasty subs. It got me to thinking about how very delicious tasty subs can be.
