Welcome Back, Plebes!

So how was your New Year's break? Mine was the usual, I won't bore you with all the gin-soaked cinematic details, but let me say this -- never, ever agree to go to a yoga class with the sports-intensive Alan Fertel.

That's all I'm gonna say about that.

Anyways, so what did we miss -- you already know the incredibly poor grudgeholder Judge Labarga is our new Supreme Court pick.

But did you know he really likes pictures of himself hanging in inappropriate locations:

Labarga joked that his commission on the 4th DCA takes effect Tuesday at 12:01 a.m. and his Supreme Court Commission takes effect exactly 24 hours later, so he will be a member of the 4th DCA for one day before he resigns.

He said he knows that the appellate court has photographs of all its judges on the wall of the court library and said ?I want mine there? alongside the others, even though he will only be a judge there for a single day.

Umm, ok Judge, whatever you say. Would you settle for a caricature of yourself at The Palm? It doesn't cost the taxpayers anything and it's probably more fitting.

What else -- NEWS FLASH -- Models are better looking than most lawyers.

Perhaps news to some, though all you Carvermaniacs saw that one coming a mile away.

Of course, there is always the exception that proves the rule, as Sandy D'Alemberte pens an op-ed that does not cite or otherwise refer to his lovely and talented daughter. It did say some wise things about reforming the absurd process that led to a nearly chronic number of Jimenez posts on this crappy blog, but I know most of you don't care about all that law and policy mumbo-jumbo.

More coming. folks -- welcome back, everybody!
