TM: Got ya.

TM: I was in awe, I was dumbstruck. There are a lot of accolades that one can have in this world but I can’t imagine anything quite this important, quite this flattering. I read the blog every day. This is probably the most important journalistic outlet on the internet. And when I found out you wanted to talk to me, all I thought was that A.Rational must have a lot of pull because I know "You So Crazy" and Raph probably aren’t all that interested.

API: Our first feature was Jennifer Johnston, I’m sure you’re aware? 

TM: Yeah, I was pretty disappointed.

TM: Well I do know Jennifer did get some threats. Frankly, I think what it really boils down to is that I do have a lot of adoring fans out there and many of them were expecting me to be the first feature.
It’ s sort of like the Hillary Clinton thing , no matter how much she stands up there and says “Get behind Obama, Get behind Obama,” people see through it . It was similar here too, people just did not believe I genuinely did not want to hurt Jennifer.

TM: I can’t really answer that other than saying that all of my public statements have been not to hurt Jennifer and I’m not going to go into that any further.

TM: I have pretty much depleted my entire trust fund paying off these people for their adoration.

TM: Those were unfounded. You will notice in about a year as the money dwindles they will turn to someone else.

TM: It’s my honor to answer this question. When I first started working at the public defenders office I looked about 17. My first few jury trials, I felt like the jury would walk in and look at me funny like there is the defendant and there is his son, but where is the lawyer? So I sort of just decided to grow a beard.

TM: I think that being a public defender is probably the best job you can ever have. You hit a point when you’ve been at work for a few years and you’re still making $40,000 a year and all your friends are making significantly more to the point where you can’t eat dinner with them.

TM: It was a short suit; the pants were only short because I was small. I had on a pair of brown skin bucks and it was a sear suckered suit that came down to my knees.

TM: I think it was the time we were robbed and they kidnapped my brother.

TM: No.

TM: Well, I was about eight years old and I was with my aunt and my Grandmother’s sister in the supermarket. She was pushing me around in the shopping cart. A guy walked by and was talking to my aunt and said “Aw, that’s such a cute little girl.”
