Some Washington-area residents think the new crop of lawsuits targeting the ice-cream industry is leaving out a key ingredient to junk-food consumption: personal responsibility.

It all goes to show that trial lawyers can be a bunch of real scumbags. At least, the ones who file suits like this and some of the anti-gun law suits.

No, all of them are scumbags. They are some of the most evil and greedy and destructive people in the land. We must have tort reform that puts 90% of them totally out of business, or see the America we grew up in be destroyed.

"They found their niche," Miss Martin said of the lawyers. "Although I don't agree with their motives, they are smart, smart lawyers."

She's talking about them as if they're actually building a useful product or providing a useful service to our republic...

Liberal feeding frenzy alert - - -

'Bout time. Ben & Jerry's, big liberal supporters, are about to be hoist on its' own petard by the crowd of money grubbing lawyers who respond to the victimisation crowd.

"We didn't know ice cream was fattening?" "Why didn't they warn us?"

"It's for the children!" "What, the ice cream?" "No, you idiot, the lawsuit!" "Oh!"

They'll do it every time...
