What did Shakespeare mean with "...kill all the lawyers"??
People have argued for centuries about whether Shakespeare's dialogue about killing all the lawyers is extoling or condemning those who practice law. While I may tell a lawyer joke or two on occasion (like what do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 100? Your Honor. What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 85? Mr. Senator) I actually have a lot of respect for lawyers. The honest ones anyway.
Lawyers are expensive, and they command high salaries. Partners at major law firms earn millions of dollars and according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics says that in 2012, the median salary for attorneys in the U. S. was more than $113,000.
There is something to be said for experience, particularly in complex fields like the law. Marsha J. Moutrie is the City Attorney for the City of Santa Monica, my hometown. A city that can't live within its means and therefore is allowing growth at a frenetic pace in order to broaden the tax base. With over 20 years of experience in this position, she deserves more than the $110,000 salary she started at in 1993.
But is she really worth $404,764.50 annually? Does she need an top assistance city attorney (Joseph P. Lawrence) whose total compensation is right behind hers, at $399,168.14? In 2012, there were 13 attorneys working for the S. M. City Attorney's office on a list of attorneys with the title city attorney or assistant city attorney provided by TransparentCalifornia.com and all but one of them were earning over $300,000 at the time.
There are some who think these salaries are too high. I was one of them at first glance. But now that I've done a little research, finding that each of these attorneys who were on the payroll at that time had so much experience, I don't really have a problem with it. Yes, Marsha Moutrie is earning more than double what California Attorney General Kamala Harris earns, but the difference in their tenure on their respective jobs is extreme. Further, you have to pay top salaries to attract and keep the best and brightest. So while at a glance, these salaries seem a bit excessive, I don't think they're too high. Unless of course the residents of Santa Monica want their city attorney's office to start hiring recent law school grads to handle the important work of that office.
So why do the salaries seem so high? Cost-of-living-adjustments, known as COLAs, only these COLAs aren't nearly as sweet to the taxpayers who are forced to swallow them. If Ms Moutrie's base salary of $110,000 had been increased by an average of 5% per year over her 20 year tenure, it would now be $277,965. It sits at $288,919. It's the same concept as saving for retirement. You keep adding to the account and it keeps growing.

An era has ended with Jay Leno doing his "final" episode of the Tonight Show. I put the word final in quotes because in my mind, if Jimmy Fallon doesn't deliver strong ratings as Leno's replacement, NBC may choose to bring him back yet again.
Jay Leno's 22 year tenure in that chair, second only to Johnny Carson's 30 years there, is simply amazing. The first time he departed, opening the door for Conan O'Brien, ratings fell through the floor. They didn't improve at first when O'Brien left and Leno returned. But eventually Leno regained and held onto the top spot in ratings among late night talk shows.
In spite of the higher ratings toward the end of his tenure, Leno's last few years did not deliver audience counts as high as he had back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. That's not his fault. When he first started, the only competition in his time slot was David Letterman. Last night, the night of Leno's final show, David Letterman's show was on CBS, Jimmy Kimmel's show was on ABC and Arsenio Hall's show is aired on various stations. Chelsea Handler, Conan O'Brien and Stephen Colbert, among others, have shows on various cable networks. Clearly it is fragmentation of the audience for late-night talk shows and not a reduction in Leno's popularity that has caused his #1 ratings numbers to be lower toward the end of his tenure.
Why is Jay Leno so popular? The answer can be found in two very special Southern California locations. One is the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach. Leno can be found there every Sunday night, trying out material. He's down to earth, approachable and definitely interested in the audience's appreciation (or lack thereof) for his material.
The other location is Bob's Big Boy restaurant in Burbank on Friday nights. Every Friday, starting at 3 in the afternoon and running well into the night, owners of classic cars gather there. They admire each other's cars, grab some burgers and fries and have a great time. Leno is often found there, with one of the many cars in his collection. He's just another car guy, not the star of a late night talk show, on those nights.
I enjoy Jimmy Fallon, but I will miss Jay Leno's monologue, skits and ability to get guests to really open up.

Random ponderings:
I don't watch American Idol, but after seeing how one contestant's mother reacted to her daughter being sent home, I'm thinking parents there to watch their kids perform should be muzzled and chained to their chairs. Okay, maybe just make them sign an agreement not to horn in on their kid's interview after being sent home.
Jay Leno's final monologue hit one nail squarely on the head, isn't it sad that O. J. Simpson still hasn't found the real killer of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman? Is he too busy eating at the prison cafeteria to look these days?
If you're going to sue Paramount Pictures and Tom Cruise personally and claim they stole your screenplay to make "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol", might as well sue for $1 billion.
It's interesting how in this day and age you can become good friends with people you may never meet in person.
Given the amount of episodes of "The Jerry Springer Show" that involve or focus on lesbians, when he's ready to retire, Howard Stern is the obvious replacement host.
While I'm not a fan of Senator Dianne Feinstein, she did NOT say "...all veterans are mentally ill and the government should prevent them from owning firearms." What she did say was still objectionable.
Would it bother you to get a credit card offer addressed like this?
I'm dying to hear the explanation from Bank of American of how this happened.
Since last baseball season ended, the best move the Dodgers made was locking up Clayton Kershaw. The second-best move they made was retaining manager Don Mattingly.
I'll never fly on an airplane that has pay toilets. What if I didn't have correct change?
I nominate Justin Beiber's father for Father of the Year, 2014. Worst Father of the Year, 2014.
AOL's CEO puts foot in mouth again. More on this in tomorrow's blog.
Paris Hilton wishes she had 1/10th of the talent of Reese Witherspoon.
Leonard Nimoy says quitting smoking will make you live longer. Prospering is not promised by the Star Trek actor.
There really is a national grocery bagging championship in Las Vegas?? (yes, there is)
Only heartless bureaucrats would force the mother of a dying pre-teen to provide proof that he's dying in order to keep him from being forced to take some stupid exam. Naturally this is going on in Florida.
The saddest thing about the Enid, OK restaurant owner who uses vile language to express his thoughts on not serving homosexuals, African-Americans, Hispanics and the disabled is that most of that city's population who don't fall into one of those groupings won't care about his blatant discrimination.
My thanks to the A&E network for today's binge-a-thon of Parking Wars.

[Speaking to people outside the court]
Gerry Conlon: I'm an innocent man. I spent 15 years in prison for something I didn't do. I watched my father die in a British prison for something he didn't do. And this government still says he's guilty. I want to tell them that until my father is proved innocent, until all the people involved in this case are proved innocent, until the guilty ones are brought to justice, I will fight on. In the name of my father and of the truth!
