”Buddy Ford Is As Full As A Tick On A Coon Hound’s Back”
“Sit right back and hear a tale about fateful trips. Gilligan’s Island, the classic TV show, featured Gilligan as the Skipper's little buddy and first mate. Tampa Bay's little buddy figuratively and literally is the submissive Buddy Ford. Like Gilligan, Buddy Ford had a yacht that would set sail for a 3-hour cruise, with all of little Buddy’s legal buddies all aboard. Judge McEwen shoved off several times on Buddy Ford's yacht. Judge McEwen told Buddy not to say anything to anyone about the 3-hour cruises, as she knew they were ethics violations. How could Judge McEwen not have a bias or be compromised by this socializing. But Tampa Bay's little buddy couldn’t help himself, always wanting to impress others. Buddy Ford can keep a secret, but it’s the people he tells that can’t keep a secret. Looks like the weather is getting rough!”
“Displayed prominently in Buddy Fords waiting room is a picture of our little buddy and Judge McEwen. This picture shines as a ray of hope on the debtors waiting to be rehabilitated. The debtors are the real castaways in this story.”
“Within the intricacies of life's grand game, there occasionally emerges an unassisted triple play of injustice—an individual, akin to a skilled fielder, executing a perplexing sequence of actions without any collaboration from others. This figure, acting like an enigma cloaked in shadows, masterfully orchestrates a series of unfair deeds, dismissing goodness and fairness with each choreographed step. Just as the unassisted triple play stands as a rare occurrence in baseball, this person's ability to perpetrate harm unaided leaves us in awe by the depths of their unjust nature, a reminder that not all plays on life's diamonds are brilliant.”
“Imagine a baseball team of unjust, unfair lawyers and a comprised umpire forming an unlikely baseball line up. Each member steps onto the field with their own unscrupulous tactics and lack of integrity eager to earn a fee. The unjust empire takes the mound making bias calls and consistently favoring the home team. At the plate the pitcher Magic Michael Markham, from the law firm of Johnson Pope, throws curveballs of deceit, aiming to bend the law. The unjust shortstop Buddy Ford blocks the path to justice obstructing any chance of a fair play. Jamie Rand the reprobate batter, swings with dishonesty, exploiting every opportunity to secure a tainted victory. Dick Dauval the batboy trying to make fouls balls, fair! The game leaves legal scholars yearning for a return to genuine fair play and respect for the rule of law.“
