(Of course, he&#8217;s practically a caricature of the rich-as-leeches.) Drunk? Drugs? Blow-job? Daskalos admits he was driving while talking on his cell phone (oh! was it the new iPhone?!!). This is a crime in Albuquerque, though the Journal doesn&#8217;t mention that. Instead of that crime, he was written up for &#8220;failure to maintain a lane.&#8221; You might think: <span style=\"border-bottom: thin dashed blue; cursor: help;\" title=\"Big Fucking Deal\">BFD<\/span>, but Daskalos is hell-on-wheels and destined to kill someone. (Only himself, one can hope.) <\/p>\n<p>This ticket should be enough to get Daskalos thrown in jail based on a judge&#8217;s ruling earlier. JD&#8217;s not worried. The cop who wrote this up dated the ticket &#8220;11\/7\/08.&#8221; Daskalos attorney says the wrong date invalidates the ticket. Perhaps the cop is recently from Europe or, more likely, the cop knows that same bit of law.

He&#8217;s really a spoiled punk with way too much money and &#8212; is there a connection here? &#8212; many friends in high places. It must be his money, because Daskalos shouldn&#8217;t have a friend in the world; he should be shunned until he grows up and apologizes to the entire planet for his astonishing self-centeredness. peace, mjh<\/p>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/loco\/criminally-stupid\/\">Criminally Stupid<\/a> (Sat 06\/16\/07) and<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edgewiseblog.com\/mjh\/loco\/idiot-on-board\/\">Idiot on Board<\/a> (Sun 01\/14\/07)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jason Daskalos &#8212; Daskaloser &#8212; is on the front page of the Albuquerque Journal again.
