Jim Rogan to be named judge

Yorba Linda attorney and former congressman will sit on O.C. Superior Court in October.

Rogan, whose dramatic welfare-to-Washington story is told in his "Rough Edges" autobiography, was elected to Congress in 1997, representing a Los Angeles district.

But after Rogan's tenure as impeachment manager, Democrats pulled out the stops to defeat him in the most expensive House race ever – a combined $11.5 million. After a stint in the George W. Bush administration, he went into private law practice based in Orange County. The former municipal judge will don his robes in October.

Rogan has managed to win over many Democrats who thought the impeachment inappropriate. Orange's Ed Wallin, a retired judge who served in state superior and appellate courts, came to know Rogan through their mutual hobby of collecting political memorabilia.

"The governor's done a good job on this one," the Democrat said. "He's very bright, he's very hardworking. ... I don't think how I feel about (the impeachment) has anything to do with how he'll do as a judge. A trial judge is not a political position."

4. Ultimate Fighting Championships?

Not really a fan, but doe Joe Rogan (the FF one) host them?

[sgxnk]

5. yes

he has excellent knowledge of MMA (mixed martial arts)

UFC is the most exciting spectator sport ever invented, imo

with the possible exception of the whole lion/gladiator thang :)

i also love MMA because it's no bullsh*te

it put to rest the silly claims of pseudoeffective martial arts, like aikido and tai-chi
