Jurisprudential Special Olympics Winner! How you can help Branum defeat grammar.
Well, since my post yesterday went over roughly as well as a boisterous fart during the Thanksgiving Dinner blessing, I’ll hold back ridiculing the Birthers and World Nut Daily one more day. Instead, I’ll go back to the standard classic of goofing on James Branum.
This morning I thought I would look for something wrong with his site. In less than 5 minutes I filled up a legal pad.
[WARNING: What follows is an orgy of similes and metaphors. It is not intended for young children, expectant mothers, nor retarded Oklahoma based Resistance Lawyers.]
This guy does to the written language what Chris Brown did to Rihanna and romance. It’s like he has a jihad against spelling and punctuation. If grammar was a human, it would have been beheaded on YouTube. It’s like Branum writing is as out of place as Jeffrey Dahmer releasing a cook book of his favorite recipes. (How to Serve Humans.) So, I’ll go over a few, but let’s see if you can go over there and identify the legion of errors that populate his shitty site. Honestly, I would rather have Michael J. Fox do my dental work than read his page, but it is a sacrifice I make for you, my angry readers. He is roughly as accurate as an epileptic sniper. Even a retarded child rises above his level of discourse so quickly that he gets the bends. I would rather run naked, greased up, and blindfolded through the San Fran pride parade than read his stuff. (Then again, I am famously and flamboyantly gay.) He does to the legal profession what Gary Glitter does in Thailand. Anyway, enough of my jackassery.
(Ah screw it, there’s always room for Jello and Jackassery.
I would rather shave my nuts with Greg Louganis’ bloody razor than read his page. His grammar stinks worse than Ted Kennedy’s current suit. His thoughts tumble in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. His logic is like a little boat that gently drifts across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball does. The flaws in his logic are like a suicide jumper, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup. His vocabulary is as bad as, like, whatever. He towers above his peers like a Bonsai tree. I would rather do hurdles wearing skinny jeans and a fiberglass thong than try to figure out what he is saying. I would rather teabag a piranha tank too. When his blog disappears, the absence will be unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr. Pepper can. His site is like a mix between animal pr0n, midget pr0n, and snuff films except without the artistic merit. His clients get less release than David Carradine in a Bangkok closet. He’s as effective at getting his clients off as a castrati gigolo.
(Thanks to the Sniper and The Donovan for several of those.)
First off, just kinda funny, but he has a link to the “Joy Mennonite Church” that he is apparently VERY involved in. He serves as their “Minister of Peace and Justice.” (This reminds me of my favorite bad guy name/title of all time: Adrian Vlok, Law and Order Minister for the Republic of South Africa.) Well James, Minister of Peace and Justice….Joy Mennonite has your name spelled wrong.
But, why should James give a shit about spelling, after all, he’s not exactly the Spelling Minister for the Republic of Douchebagistan. Take for instance his blog posting about a clemency filling for Victor Agosto. I mean, James, my man, you not only spelled “filing” wrong (he has “flling”), but you also spelled your clients name wrong. (Hint, there are very few folks names “Vcitor.”)
Regarding your links to your law schools and other stuff. Well done in the link to the University of Oklahoma City Law School. That one worked like a champ. You will no doubt be pleased to note that your school moved into the 137th place out of roughly 170 this year. (My law school is only 98 places ahead of yours.) However, your link to New College of California School of Law of San Francisco really ought to come down. The school was so ate up it lost its accreditation. Oh, and the second attempt you made at linking to the Oklahoma Center for Conscience…that isn’t a URL. I don’t know what in the hell you were going for, but not working.
His sentence structure alone makes me want to stab myself in the brain with a crayon dipped in hydrochloric acid. Let’s just start with this sentence:
I take cases based from servicemembers in the South Central Region of the US (see map below) as well as limited G.I. resistance cases from around the world
Dude, what in the holy mother of Spongebob does “cases based from servicemembers” mean? You do know that in English declarative sentences end with a period, right? And how is it you claim here that you do the South Central Region and “limited” GI cases from around the world, and then later that:
I have clients who reside in almost every state of the union and several foreign countries (many members of the US military today are not US citizens).
Anyway, moving on.
Actually, that’s about it for now I suppose.
Oh, except for this, yes, he really did spell “Lawyer” wrong on his facebook page no fewer than 3 times.
NOTE: All spelling and grammatical errors in this post are due to the fact that I am like an FBI profiler of stupid. I had to get inside the head of Branum to see how he thinks. And now, if you will excuse me, I will go and eat my frosted flakes out of a bedpan.

Using Branum as an attorney is as about as smart as this guy on House last night. Long story short, guy doesn’t want to be deployed again so he goes to House trying to get some excuse. House tells the guy at least guys during Vietnam had the balls to go to Canada or shoot themselves in the foot. Later the guy shows up in the ER after shooting himself in the foot, which House just bandges up and tells him to take his antibiotics and the foot will be fine. At the end of the show the guy is being wheeled off missing a leg. What a dipshit…
To complete my analogy going to jail to not go to war is about as smart as chopping off a leg to not go to war.

Another pre-emptive Ghey bomb…
BTW, your post yesterday went over fine….
You really ought to take your comedy act on the road…. What a great way to start the day, laughing and laughing.
Hey… Chrytal Cooper-Matheaeis…er…whatever…is HAWT.
I wonder if she’s easy.
Dutch–you know the deal with liberal hippie chicks, as long as you can stand the smell….
Gasmasks, brother…Gasmasks.
Also covers a couple of other fedishes too….
Hillarious! Just what I needed. Sometimes I’m not sure what’s better though, the post or the comments!
How dare you pro-war MURDERS slander this fine crusader of TRUTH and JUSTICE! This man has done more for PEACE and LOVE than any of you ever could!!! WAR MONGERS! RACISTS!
BTW- Isn’t the plural of Court Martial “Courts Martial”? Shouldn’t Branum know that?
Also, it looks like Branum’s not understanding “Advise” and “Advice” has been around for a while.

Branum: It is not uncommon for soldiers to ask for advise on how to leave a post, etc.

TSO is like the MC at some ‘celebrity roast’. He has to restrain himself so as not to overshadow the actual stars.

Mr. Casey,
IF you CAPITOLIZE every OTHER word or so, IT doesn’t add to your ARGUEMENT, it makes YOU look like a RETARD.
love,
dutch508
Dutch, I believe Casey was actually goofing on Branum.
hmm…YOUR point is NOTED.
I do think you capitolized the wrong words. It should be random so that it makes no sense at all. Never capitolize words you want to add em-fas-is to.
We could do what the DUmpmonkiez did. Change out all the Os with *s…
“We c*uld d* what the DUmpm*nkiez did. Change *ut all the *s with *s…”
that’s harder than it l**ks.
I knew I get at least one person with that fake rant. hahaha
I would have tried to write it even worse, but I can not get my brain to idle that low.
I feel ya dawg!
You just feel like a leftist, Mr. Casey.
The spelling errors would explain it all… This guy’s name isn’t Branum, it’s Barnum.
He’s selling these suckers the modern version of “This Way to See the Egress”
This, my friend, is art. I may not know how to define art (as certain facebook banter has proven) but I know it when I see it.
And your quip on his page… awesome. I think I might friend him so I can get a better look at the women that have friended him and do a special “hot women who love losers lawyers” edition of Tuesday Titillation.
TSO – Has anybody ever asked this asshat how many times he took the bar exam? Just curious. (1st time passer here).
Hey Dutch, that Anna Le Roy chick don’t look too bad, either.
Just in case you were wondering.
You are correct, sir.
While in the Bell County jail, war-resister Travis Bishop met another inmate who also was mistreated by the U.S. Army, Leo Church.
Leo received 8 months jail, primarily because he put the safety and welfare of his children over his obligation to the Army. Leo tried to get help from his unit, but they refused and in the end threw the book at him.
Leo should not be in jail, so he and his family asked if I could take on his case for post-trial clemency and appeals. Leo also wants to speak out about his experiences, so that the public can know what Army families are forced to go through these days.
If you would like to know more Leo’s case and how to support him, please visit his website at FreeLeoChurch.wordpress.com
My name is Leo Church and i am a war resitors. I tried to get out of the Army to support my wife and my son and my daughter but the stopped me and now i cannot feed them because i am in jail for 8 monthes. Many fine people have helped me by donating money to me and my war resistors in the amount of 3 million dollors. But the Army will not release the money to me or my families of my wife and my son and my daughter. But they will release the monies to a third party. If you can do this for me you can keep HALF. All you need to do is email me your account number to freeleochurch@wordpress.com and i will ‘get the ball rollings’ so you can i can get the money. Thank you and god bless.

TSO…Freaking funny as hell. Now, if’n yer gonna be a lawyer, ya gots to fill legal pads fast-like. Know what ah mean? O’course, spehlin does matter, so you practice til it pahfekt. 🙂
I think that the clemency fling with Victor Agosto is probably not a spelling mistake but accurate. If by clemency you mean “a fate worse than death, oh god, my eyes”
I have no problem ripping on Branum, but I feel, and I am not joking, that no matter how we feel about the people he represents, they deserve to have a lawyer that does not manipulate them to suit his own needs and then kill their futures at trial with his, at best, shoddy legal work.
I agree Casey, wholeheartedly. Which is why the fact that he UTTERLY SCREWED the “Anonymous objector” in that video really pisses me off. I could do a legal analysis of how he ruined the dude’s case, but no one tends to read those pieces I do.
Also, I still think it is against ABA ethics to raise money for a legal defense that does not exist.
I’d read your legal break-down of his practices.
Ded hie goe tew law skoo or git hiz deploma oute of a boks of kraker jaks? I spelt mie post lik dis so he culd reed it in kase he cheks yer blawg…
TSO–I’m thinking Branum and Oily Tits, aka “Super Nirther” ought to get together and go bowling sometime.
TSO – it is definately against legal ethics to raise money for a defense that does not exist UNLESS – you specify where the funds will go if they are not needed (the fund raising money for the SEALS says it will go to defend other servicemembers similarly charged) or you return the money if it is not used for the stated purpose of defending the stated client. Under state provisions, he is responisble for providing an accounting to the state bar if asked and to the client.
Oh, we know where the money goes – Sizzlers, Twizzlers and snicker-doodles.
Where do I send the copy of my medical bills for this grammeurysm?
