Better than a soap...

If anyone wants to see a lawyer's media circus, follow Conrad Black's trial in Chicago, staged by a heavy legal team of experts who are staging the most farcical trial of all. Lord and Lady Black were reportedly not going out to lunch today at the break, but brought their lunches in brown paper bags. SNORT big time...all planned I'm sure by his legal team to make him seem like just a regular sort of person. Conrad Black has never been ordinary. He grew up in Toronto in an affluent family; attended Upper Canada College, a very upscale, posh and select boys private school where he got thrown out for selling exam papers...an achievement in itself...his notority and larcenous behaviour started early on in his life. This clip from Google:

"Former media baron Lord Conrad M. Black's trial for racketeering and fraud trial began today in Chicago with defense lawyers grilling prospective jurors. Black, 62, is former chairman and chief executive of Hollinger International, which once owned the Chicago Sun-Times, the Toronto-based National Post, The Daily Telegraph of London and the Jerusalem Post, as well as hundreds of community newspapers. The Toronto, London and Jerusalem papers have been sold and the company name has been changed to Sun-Times Media Group. Black is charged with pocketing millions of dollars....etc....etc..."

Check back to how Lord Black, born in Canada, gave up his citizenship in Canada to become an English lord...and the UK press are now calling him a Canadian, which technically he is not. Further, can't remember the awful article on Lady Black...was it in Vogue, Vanity Fair...not sure...the stuff upstairs and downstairs is made of....This should prove an interesting trial.

And that is Rosey's blog for Thur., Mar. 14 where the snow melt has occured all inside of two or three days, loosing a winter's worth of snow in one fell swoop...not that there won't be more to come but the great depth of snow is going. If ever there was bad press for winter, it's been these past few days of slushy soupy snowmelt and now spongy mud.
