From Reason’s “Brickbats,” March 2005:
As a judge, Antonio Mareiro gets to be called “Your Honor” or “Your Excellency” in court. The Brazillian jurist liked it so much, he went to court and won an order granting him the right to be called by those terms even outside of court. Anyone in his Rio de Janeiro neighborhood who slips and calls him by his name risks being fined.
I was unable to reach North Korea’s Dear Leader Kim Jong Il for comment, but my CITIZEN JOURNALIST instincts suggest to me he’d say something supportive. Probably in Korean. And with a little Korean lisp. And maybe a bow.
The court didn’t (and couldn’t) grant Mareiro the right to be called these things outside of court. The court simply agreed to hurt people who didn’t call him those things.
Maybe someone should explain the difference to Reason.
I demand the right to be called…Loretta! Don’t you repress me!
What do you call a drunken incompetent lawyer who knows the Governor?
Your honor.
I prefer “O Captain, My Captain” myself. Or “O Most Radiant Child Of The Sun And Moon”. Either one is good. Anything else earns you a beatdown. I mean it!
And the first wiseass that tries that old “Hello, chummmmmmm….p!” thing on me earns an Indian burn.
Get back, Loretta!
It’s a LOT like Newt still wanting to be addressed as “Mr. Speaker”.
And Clinton demanding to be called “Studley Hungwell”.
Hillary Clinton, that is.
Sweet Loretta modern thought she was a woman but she was another man.
All the girls around her say she has it comin’ and she gets it while she can.
Get Back. Get Back Get Back to where you once belonged.
Get Back. Get Back Get Back to where you once belonged.
Does this make the Armadillo “Jojo”?
I think this guy watched too much Seinfeld
