Constitutional Law

The Liko Kenney Bruce McKay Park Bench: KingCast explains the plan for any potential monies in Judge Vaughn's Consideration of Costs.

By Christopher King

As they say across the pond I'm going to stop and take a piss right now: Look Kelly. I'm a former AAG. Don't think you can just up and fail to give me your homicide protocol when I ask for it. That's disrespectful and I aim to make you pay the price for that for the rest of your natural life. So we got that clear.

Here then, is the explicit detail about what I intend to do with such monies if indeed any are appropriated. I am going to flat out ask for $10,000.00.

Why?

Simple.

That's all I need to buy a joint park bench and small marble stone in Liko and Bruce's name with some serious inscriptions in honor of the best qualities of both men, and to pay back some loans and buy a $2,500 car, now that my latest SAAB succumbed to front frame rail rot on 10 Jan 2008. They do that. That would be on the way home from the hearing itself, made it home with steel belts showing from the busted alignment, BTW. Uncanny. This ain't no "money case" and it never was intended as such. I'll make my money later from other avenues that have nothing to do with this case. So we got that clear.

Anyway, after viewing dozens of park benches as I contemplate the onerous tasks of preparing a Damages Brief for Judge Vaughn and a Post Hearing Brief for Judge Lynn in the KingCast/Brian Jesseman v. Union Leader case, I chose the Vermont photo because you know it's indigenous. And there is an artist's name on it, so that I didn't steal it without attribution, or worse yet with false attribution. Not bad, eh?

Seriously: All you have in this World guaranteed are your thoughts. And once the Court allows people to steal those unique thoughts and to use them -- indeed misappropriate them for their own political or financial gain and not as satire, while falsely purporting to be the "signatory" -- we really have no reason to proclaim America to be the Land of the Free. People could just steal your thoughts under imprimatur of the Court.

It's like pornography: I can't define the line but I know when I see it; know when it has been crossed. And just as the Boston Court reviewing my friend Milan Kohout's case drew the line, so too must the Court in the case at bar. Perfect, I just wrote part of the Brief, now I just need to hit Westaw. Life is simple, if you let it be. It's tough to do, though.

KingCast: I'm not an artist. I just paint the World in broad brush strokes of freedom, intelligence, defiance and beauty that some folks can appreciate. Mother Ann would dig it. It's All Good.
