A Nebraska judge was ordered removed from the bench on Friday in Lincoln. After many years of service, Douglas County Judge Richard "Deacon" Jones had shown a "continuing pattern of misconduct," according to the state's Supreme Court.

Sure, Judge Jones was prone to use profanity when addressing court workers. He also was known to set bail at 13 cents, or more creatively at "one gazillion pengos.''

Maybe he liked to throw firecrackers into another judge's office. Can you blame the guy? It's not like he ever sent a death threat to another judge. Oh, wait, he did that, too.

Judge Jones also occasionally signed court papers as "Adolf Hitler" or "Snow White." And he was accused of groping a female colleague.

His lawyer, David Herzog, noted that Jones was "personally and professionally devastated" by the high court's decision.

"Judge Jones' uniqueness and talent, perceptions and judicial temperament are going to be missed," Herzog lamented.
