It is amazing how many judges - especially, but not exclusively, state judges - lack the basic intelligence to understand a moderately complex legal argument. Some are just plain stupid; others lack the necessary legal education; still others are lazy or impatient. (Alan Dershowitz, Professor - Harvard Law School)I have started preparing my case against the Superior Court of the State of California and will file it in the US Court, also known as the federal courts. My action will allege, among other things, prejudice and bias towards the self-represented litigator. With a degree of certainty, the above elements, in one form or another, were present to create the results that the judges will have to answer to. It will be a long and difficult fight considering my resources, but nevertheless a fight worth waging.
A Dershowitz quote

I've been reading "The Best Defense" by Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz and found an interesting quote that mirrors my feelings about many of the Superior Court judges.
Mo Tales, Dysfunctional Defined
|
The “Mo Tales” episode will not be featured today. Instead, for our reader’s enjoyment a mini-episode of “Married with Children” will be shown. "Married with Children" was a television series that was popular during the 80’s and defined the very meaning of a dysfunctional family.
The clip was a rare find for its entertainment value and short format. We hope that you find it as entertaining as we did. We are working on future episodes of Mo Tales and are experimenting on different formats and delivery strategies to make the characters come to life on your computer screen.
Enjoy!

A man and his girlfriend are both in trouble with authorities after a dog was discovered taped to a refrigerator. Boulder Police responded to a disturbance call to the home of Brian Beck, 21 and discovered Rex, a 2 year old Shibu Inu upside down and held by packing tape to the side of a refrigerator. Abby Toll, 20 – Beck’s girlfriend admitted to taping the dog after a fight with Beck because he refused to get rid of it. They are now free on bail after being charged with a variety of minor and serious infractions.
It’s either me or the dog! What’s it gonna be?

Kidnappers meet their match
|
A 3 year-old who was abducted from his San Bernardino (CA) home was found wondering the streets of Mexicali, Mexico last Sunday after being gone for two weeks. The child, Briant Rodriguez, was reunited with his family after FBI agents went to Mexicali and helped in expediting his travel papers. There was no ransom or any communication between the parents and the kidnappers. Authorities are still searching for answers and want to know why the child was targeted for the kidnapping.
It’s obvious that the crew of kidnappers were comprised of amateurs. Either that or none of them has ever had a child and have no clear idea how much work a three-year child is. Based on that, we've theorized that there were no women in the group. We conjectured what it must have been like moments before the child’s release.
RJ’s dramatization of the child's release:
Kidnapper#1: Do you smell something?
Kidnapper#2: No. (Pretending he didn’t smell anything)
K#1: Dude, it’s your turn to change his diapers.
K#2: What do you mean it’s my turn? I’m the brain of the operations. I was the one who thought of this whole thing. I’ll tell you what to do. Don't ever tell me what to do.
K#1: Yeah right. If you had brains, why are we in this situation? We’re in Mexico, without money, without a ransom plan and we have a kid who needs his diapers changed. More than that, he cries day and night. It's giving me a migraine!
K#2:Hey, remember – I was the one who drove him around last night because he didn’t want to sleep. I even bought him the milk from the American store across the border after he started throwing up from the goat milk.
(THE KID ERUPTS IN LOUD CRYING)
K#1: See what I mean? The kid has been crying all day and it is driving me nuts. Will you just change his diapers!
K#2: Man, I can’t. I have a real bad gag reflex when it comes to stink. I throw up when I catch wind of nasty stuff.
K#1: I don’t want to change him again. I already did that and the last time, my nose almost got split wide open.
K#2: If you don’t want to do that and I don’t want to do that, let’s just let him go, then. We’ll just find another kid who does not wear diapers the next time.
K#1: Fine!
K#2: Fine!

ROBERT $112,188 in the red!
|
When you find yourself in the financial red, the only reasonable thing to do is relax and think things through. That’s what I told myself after I finished tallying up the list of debts that appeared on my Experian credit report. Consumers are entitled to one free credit report from all credit bureaus every calendar year. In accordance, a request was sent to all the major credit reporting companies including Experian, TransUnion, Equifax and Chex-Systems. To my annoyance, Experian and Chex-System were the only companies that responded by sending me a copy of my credit report. TransUnion and Equifax both sent me a request for additional information which led me to ask a couple of questions - Do you think they are doing this so I would get impatient and acquire my report on the internet and pay them for it? Why is it that Experian and Chex-Systems sent me a credit and the two others did not when I sent them the same set of information to prove my identity? There’s one way to find out. If I could purchase my credit report online without showing them any additional information, then we know they have a racket going on that is meant to circumvent their responsibility to provide one free credit report per year.
The six-digit amount - $112,188.00 – was the sum of all the debts that appeared on the Experian report and some that didn’t but I was aware of. Fortunately, most of the figures are inaccurate/erroneous and will be disputed, contested and if required brought to court. There are bodies of laws that protect consumers from excessive and usurious creditor practices. These are things that I will have to learn, understand and use to deal with these creditors and collectors.
This creditor list will be updated as the information changes. I will also post the actions, tactics and strategies that I employed to deal with these creditors. The short-term goal is to get the liability zeroed out, so I can begin acquiring things in my name once again. At this point, anything that I acquire could literally be taken away from me. Ultimately I want to do this without filing bankruptcy so I can use my credit to amass wealth. Credit is an important tool for wealth generation. My many years of mortgage banking experience showed me how credit can be a two-sided blade. The upside, however, outweighs the negative if you know how to manage leverage smartly. In this day and age, there are simply some things that could not be acquired by cash. When was the last time you bought a house with cash?
So we start approximately $112,188 in the red. In the words of Cheech Marin, "das eesy man!"

Deadbeat Dad
|
There was an article in the Washington Times recently about “deadbeat dads” that caught my attention. It reported on a new reality television show called “Deadbeat Dads” – a show where a television crew traveled the country in search of a TV ambush. They prey on fathers who are on the deadbeat dad registry and catch them on film presumably in very uncomfortable situations. I personally haven’t seen the show and have no idea what types of people (deadbeats) are featured. However, my experience gives me a unique perspective on this issue and was actually given credence by the article. Not all fathers who are unable to pay the child support obligations are trying to evade their responsibilities. The article spoke of a father who was hospitalized for malnutrition and another who lives in a truck.
Laws that are heavy-handed, lopsided and antiquated are mostly to blame for this problem. Politicians are quick to jump the bandwagon of deadbeat dad bashing as it is perceived to be a surefire way to enhance their public image. So, they create laws that unintentionally cause the opposite effect. I am one such example. After a confluence of events, I lost my income and was unable to continue paying my child support payments of $1400.0 per month (Current Balance is $36,258 as of 4/1/09). As a result, the government suspended both my CA Department of Real Estate License and my CA Driver’s License – in effect taking away my livelihood and the means by which I can go to work.
To correct this, two things must be done. First, I must fight my ex-wife in court. Second, I must sue the government and question the constitutionality of the laws that are in place. Both tasks are difficult undertakings complicated by many issues. To fight legislators, you must be ready for an expensive and torturous fight – a situation that I am averse to. The action against my wife amounts to dragging her back to court and having the order to pay child support modified.
Re-opening the divorce case was something I was not anxious to do. My ex-wife had a double mastectomy a few months ago and I was concerned that doing so would give my children the impression that I was attacking her while she as going through that horrendous ordeal. I was waiting for the right time to deal with that situation. Fortunately, though, she seems to have recovered and I only hope that she can now take me on in court.

Suspect wanted "one last burrito"
|
A man suspected of drug-dealing stops at a Taco Bell after leading a 90 mph chase to get one last burrito. Jermaine Askia Cooper, 36, abruptly stopped and entered the restaurant before being apprehended by officers of Fort Wayne IN. When asked why he did that, he told the waiter that “he knew he was going to jail for a while” and wanted to have a burrito before he was incarcerated. The reports made no indication whether or not his "last burrito" wish was granted. Depending on which penitentiary he ends up serving time, a burrito will likely be on the menu.
