Baby Boomers may be well familiar with Judge Judy Sheindlin. The Libra, born October 21, 1942, is one of us. Yes, she too is a Boomer. Unlike some Boomers I have not been a fan of Judge Judy; that is, I wasn’t until recently reading her book Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell Me Its’ Raining. Yeah, I found the title pretty disgusting myself, but the book was a definite eye opener. If you were not a fan of Judge Judy, because you thought you knew all there was to know about her and you didn’t like her, reading her book will likely change your mind. And if you have always been a devoted fan of the tough mother of 5 and grandmother of 11, well the book will probably make you like her more.
A family court judge for over two decades, the judge lays it all on the line in her book when she exposes little good, but lots of bad and ugly in the criminal justice system, the welfare system, and oh, so much more juicy stuff. You can catch snippets of her in action on various YouTube videos, or you can get an first-rate critique of her book at www.potpourri101.com .
