- And finally, the latest entry in BCB’s Department of You Poor, Poor Bastard is brought to us by St. Joseph Catholic Orphan Society v. Edwards, in which counsel for real party in interest prepared an appellate brief on behalf of his client for submission to the Supreme Court of Kentucky, which promptly refused to accept it due to the fact that he had missed the filing deadline by a single day. The court went on to chastise the poor, poor bastard in its opinion for whining about mistranscribing the deadline in his calendar and then dragging his mother into the debacle by arguing that he had been distracted by her impending surgery, which the court characterized as a routine, previously-scheduled, procedure. As much as I admire those wingtips, can’t say that I’d like to find myself standing in them at the moment.
