Tim Philpot, the shy hedonist







Fighting over who pays the bill

Rather like Shaggy and Scooby, Tim Philpot loves to eat. He writes about his favorite dishes and eateries in his autobiographical novel set in Lexington. Kentucky.
Rather than praising his wife’s home cooking, he extols his mother’s chicken and appears to have a fondness for sharing burgers with various minors he mentors in the story. He plots imposing “Irretrievably Broken Hearings” with his law school co-conspirators at “Tolly Ho”, near the UK campus. The book’s final chapter closes with a visit to Natasha’s donut shop where he counsels Natasha against leaving her abusive husband who is addicted to pain killers and “Black Tar Heroin.”
In the book, Judge Philpot’s favorite gastronomic establishments include:

Restaurant
Bob Evans
Denny’s
Cracker Barrel
Five Guys           
Tolly Ho
Natasha’s
Unfortunately, the US Supreme Court’s decision upholding the legality of same-sex marriage has given Judge Philpot some dyspepsia or at least curbed his appetite for eating out.
He previously limited  his female entrée partners to only his wife, to avoid scandalous accusations of sexual promiscuity. Now he worries about being seen publically nibbling with his male friends too, for fear of being outed as homosexuals.

Tim Philpot says he is not heterosexual - then what?

Image
Poem Timmy P wrote a poem:  Being gay is so passé, And hetero is retro. Nowadays, one swings both ways, To stay “de rigueur” in the Metro! Relax Nosario, I’m not throwing open the closet doors. What I’m saying here is that God doesn’t care about gonads and chromosomes. When we sit on his lap, our sexuality doesn’t matter one iota. When he sees our hearts and minds and souls, we are all hermaphrodites in his eyes.   Therefore, spiritually speaking our gender and sexual identity is meaningless. Unless we want to perform a legal commitment ceremony – then it becomes really important. I know it’s confusing but there’s probably an appendix in the bible that explains it.

Attitude towards successful men: Part 1

Image
It is difficult to convincingly label Judge Philpot as either misogynist or anti-male through his public actions because there are more subtle layers of bias underlying his decisions in individual cases. His dichotomous attitude towards women has already been explored from the Madonna/Whore complex perspective in this blog: ( http://judgephilpot.blogspot.com/2017/01/dichotomy-in-judge-philpots-attitude.html ). Judge Philpot’s conscious and subconscious attitudes are not doubt shaped by his own conflicted upbringing, which he freely discusses in nearly every public speech.   His latest book (Judge Z) provides glaring and inescapable truths about his attitude to other men, particularly in the context of their ethnicity and his perception of their material success or achievement. Almost every male character who is not firmly on the judge’s team ideologically speaking, is portrayed negatively and only one achieves any kind of redemption. The males who are not White, Anglo-Saxo

Judge Philpot's White Savior Complex

Image
1. INTRODUCTION “White Savior Complex” refers to a common trope, prevalent throughout much of US popular culture, which validates white superiority by depicting individuals who heroically rescue “less developed” cultures through dissemination of “western” values and wisdom: https://matadornetwork.com/change/4-ways-americans-taught-white-savior-complex-can/ Judge Philpot writes about his mystical spiritual experiences in India in his autobiographical novel “Judge Z” and makes clear the importance of his proselytizing mission in the acknowledgements section of the book. It is clear that even in the 21st century fundamentalists can pervert great religions and sow discord in increasingly interconnected societies. The judiciary should be free of religious zeal that goes beyond passion for justice in interpreting the law. In the autobiography, Judge Z writes that he previously visited India only once on a “judicial exchange” rather than on proselytizing missionary t
