Sounds like another example of senile judges and why the law is turning into a laughingstock.

When people do things that seem utterly ridiculous to me, I try to imagine some other reasonable viewpoint from which they may be looking at the issue. I woke up this morning wondering if, perhaps, the judges in question were just younger than I. Spike was a common nickname when I was a kid. I vaguely remember a dog named Spike, a bulldog, I think, in a comic strip. And then there was Spike Jones, the entertainer. So it's hard for me to imagine that Spike Lee has any more ownership of "Spike" than George Bush has of "George."

But you don't hear the name as often nowadays. The only other Spike I can think of in today's popular culture is the one on Buffy. So perhaps if one is young enough, one might reasonably see Spike Lee as the model for all Spikes.

Nah...

It's ridiculous, indeed.
