Boomer with Attitude / News Judge FrankenBelk to be ousted?
Posted By John Grooms on Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 12:43 PM
First, two quick follow-ups to blogs from yesterday:
1. In last night’s mayoral debate, John Lassiter didn’t stick by his idea to roll back part of 2006’s property tax hike, but he did eagerly wear the mantle of Lower-Taxes Man, shoring up his base of support among the GOP faithful. Anthony Foxx, on the other hand, positioned himself as being less beholden to developers than Lassiter, which should help shore up his support among progressives. At this point, the race is so close, it could come down to how well each man's campaign gets out the vote.
2. Um, yes, I noticed that my beloved Yankees, specifically the members of their stellar batting lineup, had their collective ass handed to them last night by Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee, whose performance was the best by a starting Series pitcher this fan has seen in many years. Thank God the guy can’t pitch every day.
In today's news, the notorious FrankenBelk, a monster created by family money and entitlement, says the state Judicial Standards Commission told him it will recommend he be removed from his position as a district judge. The fate of FrankenBelk, alias Judge Bill Belk, will be determined by the state Supreme Court after it gets the judicial commission’s recommendation. The monster has upset the genteel judicial system by refusing to leave a corporate board, acting like an arrogant nutcase with another judge, and generally being an unbelievably obnoxious, self-important schmuck who woke up on third base and thought he’d hit a triple. Below is a rare photo of Frankenbelk getting a trim from Floyd the barber when the monster stopped in Mayberry, on his way to a Judicial Standards Commission hearing earlier this year.
