Just between you and me, about the “Tarzan and me” controversy. Consult a grammar if you want, you will find that “me” is correct. Try Strunk and White for example.
Here’s the way to tell: Would you say, “Can you spare some time for I?” or would you say, “Can you spare some time for me?” Then you would say, “…for Tarzan and me.” Putting "Tarzan and " in front of “me” doesn’t change the fact that it’s the direct object of the preposition “for” and thus must be in the objective case. You would say, “Tarzan and I would like to see you,” because then “Tarzan” and “I” are both the subjects of the sentence.
Well, everyone seems to agree that this Judge Eric Brand is a corrupt, two-faced, evil-doer! Tarzan carries plenty of arrows and I hope he gets to use some soon, although we still have to meet that mystery woman in the speeding limousine………

“Overly eager to help—he was not!” Yoda couldn’t have said it any better! The Judge is definitely strong in the dark side of the force.

Whoever said that the judge was behind the poaching was spot on!
