The Entitlement Defense
"Let me digress. The newspapers tell us that U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who on March 5 is scheduled to put Black on trial, is interested in Mayor Daley. The mayor's reelection campaign is likely to turn on the unstated proposition that public governance also has its zealots and its tendency to excess, and that if the bathwater is corruption, the baby is a city that works.
Black's problem is that there was no baby. There was only his high life, which he has asked the court to rule inadmissible. One of his recent briefs states, "The government has failed to establish that the references to Mr. Black's membership in the House of Lords, ownership of multiple residences, lavish decorating tastes, hosting of an elaborate surprise party for his wife, and employment of servants and a chauffeur are relevant to any essential element of any charged offense." <more>

Good Morning Everyone!
TGIF, huh?! Short week but busy one! :)
"I have reached the tentative conclusion that a significant portion of this administration, maybe even including the vice president, believes Iraq is lost," Biden said.
"They have no answer to deal with how badly they have screwed it up. I am not being facetious now. Therefore, the best thing to do is keep it from totally collapsing on your watch and hand it off to the next guy -- literally, not figuratively."
I have a feeling Biden is going to be Bush's worst nightmare!! LOLMAO
Oops! Forgot the link to that story...
White House Postponing Loss of Iraq, Biden Says
Have a great day Justice Bloggers! :)
Black said, "You're not dealing with greed here, and you're not dealing with sneakiness. You're dealing with a best-efforts attempt to accommodate to industry practice and do what's equitable as determined by independent directors, who as a group are quite a distinguished group."
..... "We haven't been sitting here feathering our nest. We've done things that have savaged our own income, because we thought it was in the interest of the stockholders.'"
You gotta wonder .....

Lord Black is unbeleivable. If convicted, I wonder what his punishment will be? He should be made to do actual work. That would hurt him worse than anything,except loosing his lavish lifestyle.
Patriot Girl,
LOL. on Conrad Black. That's probably nothing he hasn't done at one of his parties. LOL. I say send him around with Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs". Yuck. Or make him work the fields or pick up trash along the freeway.

I don't watch CNN or read this Beck's work. Good thing too for I have missed nothing. Nazi wannabe?
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening folks!
TGIF!
"Shareholders should have known Conrad Black had a lifestyle to maintain when they bought into his company."
I look forward to Conrad Black's trial. Conrad Black is nothing but a 21th century businessman pimp. Doesn't the nimrod know that when you have shareholders in a company that majority of the control of a company is the shareholders? He stole and pimped from the shareholders. I see the shareholders revolting back on Mr. Black just like the shareholders did with Michael Eisner, an ex-CEO of Disney and the shareholders did Bernie Ebbers, ex-CEO of Worldcom.
no way he would just plead guilty ?
Industry practice to burn more time and keep the rest of them running amuck until their day ?
