Reading John Grisham
I like John Grisham.
I think I have read most, if not all of his books.
One of the things I have learned about the legal system is that the primary method of defence is attack. No matter how guilty the accused is, he tries to get off by discrediting the primary witness. Whether he is a Mafia Boss or a leading politician, all he has to do is to discover one little aspect of the witness’ life and blow it out of all proportion. So a quick joint twenty years ago means the witness is a drug dealer and the slime-ball gets off because the testimony is corrupted. Or whatever.
Dirty but probably effective.

I wonder if Dominique Strauss-Kahn reads John Grisham’s books?
“Sure wasn’t I out in the wilds, nowhere near phones, tellies or computers, when the 3,636 calls were made from the environs of Kildare Street? “What went on during that week, I had no hand, act or part in the wide earthly world!!!” Keep the change!
Jayzus but that pair are a disgrace to democracy.
I felt sure that today you would be writing about bows.
Without proof, I cannot bring myself to believe that the Healey-Raes actually exist.
TT – Why on earth would I be talking about bows? You’re losing it again…..
Martin – Welcome to the Home of Insanity. I would argue that the Healey-Raes must exist, as no one in their right mind could possibly invent them. I find them so intensely irritating that I can’t even listen to either.
