A reader of the blog forwarded a link to the Brunswick Sun, which featured an article about the hobby of LAPDOG JUDGE COLLIER.
Following is an excerpt from that article:
Judge courts a new passion

Anyone who has set foot in the Medina County Court of Common Pleas leaves Courtroom No. 1 knowing one thing for certain -- Judge Christopher Collier has little tolerance for any funny business.
From behind the bench, Collier makes it clear that in his courtroom, there is no gray area; an excuse, no matter how creative, is still an excuse; and those who choose not to help themselves are deserving of just about everything life throws at them.
While his approach is pretty black and white, Collier is the first to admit that generalization couldn't be farther from the truth once he takes off his judge's robe.
"My job may be to instruct juries and sentence people," Collier says. "But my passion in life is color, lines and shapes and how things look."
Collier, who says he's been fascinated by the visual arts for as long as he can remember, recalls painting toy cars as a child, suspending them from wires and taking pictures of them with a camera.
"Nothing really made sense about what I was doing, but to me, when the cars were painted a certain color and hung just right at a certain angle and in certain light, they just looked right to me," said Collier, 54.
Collier hasn't had any formal training in art but has spent much of his free time over the past decade recapturing the artistic flair he had as a child. About eight years ago, he says he developed an interest in "F.O.O.," a term he coined himself which stands for "found objects only."
"I started making collections that included only things I found," Collier said, noting that if you name it, it was probably in at least one of his collections. "Like the Matchbox cars, I'd sort the objects I found and arrange them into a collage until they looked just right and then I'd paint them and display them somewhere."...

LAPDOG COLLIER formerly had a hobby of collecting model trains. Since he has been appointed to a lifetime uncontested appointment to the Medina County Bench, however, LAPDOG COLLIER has given up his model train collection.
LAPDOG COLLIER HAS FOUND IT MUCH MORE FUN, AND MUCH MORE PROFITABLE, TO RAILROAD INNOCENT CITIZENS ON BEHALF OF CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN!
LAPDOG COLLIER'S NEW HOBBY WILL PROVIDE JUST AS MUCH EXCITEMENT AND WILL ALSO PAY BIG DIVIDENDS, BUT IN A MUCH DIFFERENT MANNER.
AFTER LAPDOG COLLIER, THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND TOWN WHORE, IS CONVICTED OF HIS CRIMES, INCLUDING TAMPERING WITH THE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT IN THE CASE BEING PROFILED AT THIS BLOG, HE WILL BE ABLE TO TATTOO OTHER INMATES IN HIS CELL BLOCK.
LAPDOG COLLIER will be able to barter his services as a tattoo artist in exchange for gum and candy bars from other inmates.
SO, IT SEEMS, THAT LAPDOG COLLIER MAY INDEED HAVE A FUTURE OUTSIDE HIS KANGAROO COURTROOM!
