Malkemes v. Malkames

Attorney Mark Malkames has been spending lots of late nights before Bethlehem's Zoning Hearing Board. Representing developer Abe Atiyeh, he has fought an uphill battle to get zoning approval for voluntary alcohol rehab enters that always seem to be located near a school. At this point, he's cross-examined half the City, but met someone new at the December 10 hearing - Bob Malkemes. Malkemes told Malkames that their names are spelled differently, but the two families are distantly related.

"I think we spell it right," said the barrister.

"We're more handsome," replied the witness.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
