I have a 82 year old friend who lives near Santa Cruz and she has Mesotheilioma. Her daughter called for a booklet on the disease and received it promptly along with phone call from the attorney pushing the book. Within 6 days he and a partner were sitting in her living room signing her up for a lawsuit.

Nothing too unusual there until I asked her where he was from and she said TEXAS. They flew into SF and drove over to see her yesterday. I am still in shock...

We should deduct every dollar NOAA spends on this idiocy from the tsunami relief fund and announce this to the world and ask the attorney firm that is sponsoring this crap to match it.

This would be funny if it weren't so sad. Ok, how about "INSANE"? A natural disaster is grounds for a LAWSUIT? I am continually amazed.

Shakespeare had it right about Lawyers, that's for sure.

Act of God in an earthquake/volcanic/tectonically active area?

Maybe, but it's the United States fault because they deliberately didn't share their voodoo technology with the rest of the world, because they're trying to kill of all the poor third world peope, and oh, yes, white Europeans from socialist countries, and before I forget, terrorist sympathizers in Aceh.

So, ergo, if it's America's fault, it's Bush's fault yet again!

This is great...Two Degrees of Separation from George W. Bush, the hot new game lefties and their ilk just love to play.

This lawyer scum gives the term "AMBULANCE CHASER" a whole new meaning, on a much larger scale. What a disgrace.

We had to know that sooner or later, someone would end up suing us over this. It must have taken this long for the lawyers to sort out who was going to go for what.

"At least the attorney has a name that suits him."

Fagan? That name rings a bell. Some evil guy in an animated movie with dogs? The one in Manhatten?

My favorite and most repeated line: "I'm having a bad day."

These idiots are about to experience US law, where there is no expectation of performance by the government.

SEVERAL dozen European victims...60 plaintiffs from Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland...
Okay, hands-up anyone who's surprised by the nationalities of the 'plaintiffs'.
