Signs Of The Time, Part 25
From the Chicago Tribune’s Art Barnum last week:
A DeKalb lawyer was suspended for 15 months Thursday for arranging to have a female client perform nude dances for him in exchange for credit on her legal fees, a state commission said.
Scott Robert Erwin, a lawyer since 1980, will begin his suspension Oct. 7, according to the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, a branch of the state Supreme Court that conducts investigations into attorney misconduct…
The relationship began in 2001 at Heartbreakers, a Compton, Ill., strip club where, after Erwin talked to an exotic dancer, both realized they had talked to each other over the telephone about some pending legal matters, according to the commission’s report of the allegations.
Erwin agreed to represent her on several legal matters, and they mutually agreed that she perform nude dances for him in his office as a way to cut down on the legal fees, according to the report…
The woman, who is no longer an exotic dancer, is married with three children and is a real estate agent, according to the report.
Ladies, start being suspicious when your man starts pushing you to buy one of her listings…

Editor,
From a post below, you wrote,
“It would be interesting to hear what your colleagues have to say about the proposed government bailout of the financial system.”

Was in the farm & feed store this weekend, and the ‘good old boys’ there were discussing the bailout. Let’s just say they were quite displeased.
(I was in there buying blood meal & bone meal - fertilizer for next year’s garden.) It’s time to get more serious about providing one’s own food!

Thanks for the comment Mammoth.
“Was in the farm & feed store this weekend, and the ‘good old boys’ there were discussing the bailout. Let’s just say they were quite displeased.”
With the amount of press that’s been generated on this issue, a number of people are starting to grasp that there’s something very wrong with the country’s financial situation.
“It’s time to get more serious about providing one’s own food!”
Amen. Everyone (both urban/rural folk) should at least look into it.
