This is the latest post in what I
half-jokingly call The Kimberlin Saga®. If you are new to the story, that’s okay! Not
everyone reads my blog. The short
version is that convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin has been harassing me for
over two years, his worst conduct being when he attempted to frame me for a
crime. I recognize that this might sound
like an incredible claim, but I provide video and documentary evidence of that
fact; in other words, you don’t have to believe my word. You only have to believe your eyes. And more recently when his wife came to us
claiming that this convicted terrorist had threatened her harm, we tried to help
her leave him, and for that, he is suing myself, John Hoge, Robert Stacy McCain
and Ali Akbar for helping his wife and he is suing Hoge, McCain, Akbar, DB
Capital Strategies, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Patrick “Patterico” Frey,
Mandy Nagy, Lee Stranahan, Erick Erickson, Breitbart.com, the Blaze, Mercury
Radio Arts, Red State, the National Bloggers Club, and others alleging that we are all in organized
crime for reporting factually about the spate of SWATtings committed against
myself, Frey and Erickson. So, if you
are new to the story, go to this page and you’ll be able to catch up on what has
been happening.

As you might
guess, dear reader, I am often faced with a dilemma. I often see Brett Kimberlin failing, and part
of me wants to tell you all about it. To
point, and laugh at his failures. It has
been observed that evil is often banal, but in Brett Kimberlin’s case, it is ridiculous,
too. I mean his evil lair is not some
Dr. Evil style mountain facility, but his mother’s basement. When caught with forged documents in the past,
he
allegedly attempted to eat them. And
he was caught imitating a DOD official, looking like this (right).
He is evil,
but he is also ridiculous. He is “ridicu-evil,”
to coin a term, so there is a desire to point out the latest example of his
ridicu-evilness.
But I also
have to be mindful that I am not “educating the midget” as I often say. I mean, I have watched in real time as Brett
Kimberlin has learned more and more what he is supposed to do just by reading
my legal writing, as well as the writing of various other lawyers who have been
involved. As much as Team Kimberlin
calls me an idiot, and similar terms, their respect for me is indicated in the
most sincere form of flattery: imitation.
So I have to constantly be careful what I say to the world at large,
lest I end up helping Team Kimberlin.

Evil can be banal, ridiculous,
and very, very short |
So a funny
thing happened last week, but I couldn’t tell you why I thought it was
funny. I have shared it privately with
friends and family, but I haven’t shared it with you, dear reader. After all, the mantra has been “case first,
blog second,” meaning that my first concern is the legal cases and letting you
fine folks in on the joke has always taken a back seat to that. Which sucks occasionally, but what can you
do?
Well, at this
point, Brett has failed to a point of no return. He has filed a notice of appeal so frivolous
that we wouldn’t even have to lift a finger to get it dismissed. And he has passed a point of (financial) no
return: he has paid the $500 fee for his appeal. This man who claims to only make $19,500 a
year has blown the equivalent of about a third of a month’s salary on it and
now is the time to point and laugh at his failure, since it provides him no
benefit to be corrected.
What am I
driving at? Well, it is a little thing
the appellate courts call the “final judgment rule.” To quote from the Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals (which is the one that would be hearing the appeal):
