So I saw Judge Seitz and Raoul Cantero chatting briefly at lunch today, no doubt busily dissecting SexyLexus and the various noncomments about the story that appear in Vanessa Blum's excellent front-pager today in the DBR.

What makes me most happy about this story is that you guys have really spiced up the DBR comments section. Consider the one from "Gary" that was posted at 1:45 today -- I sure hope that makes the paper tomorrow!

Meanwhile, signs of the recovery are everywhere -- from the "Transit Service Center" near the Omni to that spiffy new "Parking Cashier" at the James L. Knight -- things sure are shaping up around here.

When The Donald says it's not:

Thirty buyers of Trump International units at 551 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. are suing the developers and Trump for allegedly misleading them into thinking the TV star's participation was a sure thing. Though sales contracts identify the project as the SB Fort Lauderdale Hotel & Condominium and state that Trump can withdraw from the licensing deal, the suit claims that marketing materials suggested Trump was on board as a developer.

''Everybody thought they were buying into Trump Tower,'' said Joseph Altschul, the Fort Lauderdale lawyer who filed the suit in Broward County Circuit Court.

The suit claims plaintiffs ''paid a premium for a condominium unit with the Trump name purportedly attached to it,'' reads the suit filed in Broward County Circuit Court. The project's website described it Thursday as ``a signature development by Donald J. Trump.''

This case again raises the issue, so carefully analyzed by Judge Seitz, of whether consumers can be misled by the overall impression and strength of an expensive condo marketing campaign as against disclaimers and exculpatory language inserted (buried?) some place in the contract docs.

The short answer: Joe, don't put a lot of money in this one.

When "mere multimillionaire" The Donald pulls out, maybe you should too.
