THE FIRST 10% MMX

This is the last day of the last year of the first decade of the first century of the second millennium.

Now that was a mouthful but true.

The first 10 years of this new century and  millennium started off with a bang. The changes and events of the decade were profound.


We all have events in mind that we consider profound and life changing so I will not go into them here.


I choose instead to note this unique moment in time for it shall pass and we will enter the first year of the second decade and so on.


What is in store in the next decade? Who knows? 


What this day also signifies is the suspension of this blog. I am going to switch over to the blog of the same name on Wordpress. 


While this is the last entry planned for the blog, the blog will not close. It will remain open for those few who choose to read and re-read it from time to time.


The blog was created for a specific purpose and that purpose has been fulfilled. It is time to move on. While others choose NOT to move on, I choose to do so.


I have learned a lot of lessons as the events that generated this blog took place. They have been hard lessons and lessons of disappointment. There have been other lessons that are good lessons.


Tomorrow marks the start of changes for me. Most of these changes are not for the better, but are unavoidable. Some changes may be for the better. Time will tell. 


It is now time to come to the end of this entry. It is time to say farewell. It is time to go. 

UPDATE: I HAD PLANNED TO HAVE THIS BE THE LAST ENTRY IN THIS BLOG. SADLY THERE NEEDS TO BE ONE MORE.

I HAD HOPED TO START THE NEW DECADE OFF ON A  POSITIVE NOTE. SADLY, DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF ANOTHER, THIS IS NOT TO BE. SOMETHING HAS OCCURRED THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN YET ANOTHER ENTRY IN THIS BLOG. 

STAY TUNED

The bad Judgement of Hedi Jones


I have always supported the right of women who have been raped and abused to their day in court. I have always been concerned when the defense trashes the victim in the vigorous defense of their client. We have all raised our voices in protest at the depths the defense will go through to try and acquit their cliant.

And then we have this. A media personality from a major market station who is found to have filed a false rape report stating that she was attacked in Central Park and that, months later, the same person sought her out again. Sadly, her account fell apart under questioning by police and she now stands to go to jail and her career in broadcasting is likely at an end.
This woman has probably done far more damage to the cause of rape victims seeking justice more than the actions of a defense atty.

This woman has no business anywhere in the media. It does not matter that she was only a meteorologist and not a beat reporter. She represented the station and her actions would tarnish any media outlet she would ever work for.
One thing that I would certainly hope is that the men out there think long and hard before they enter into any kind of relationship with this woman.

Let the buyer beware.

A coming storm in the Anthony Case?

There are rumblings around town that there may be some breaking news coming out of the Orange County Courthouse regarding recent actions by the Defense team recently.

The key to this brewing storm may come in the release of transcripts of depositions that have been going on over the past few days.

It is hard to know what direction this storm is going to take, but when  things come to a head, the defense may find itself in quicksand. Could a bar complaint be far off? 

Stay tuned.
