We got ourselfs a new Supreme Court Justice, proving once agin at experience means nuthin. It’s all how y’feel about thangs. It’s feelin’s at count. DaddyO sez Kagan “…knows that the Supreme Court’s decisions shape not just the character of our democracy, but the circumstances of our daily lives.” An besides, she was his bud in Chicago. back when he wuz organizin’ communities. Whut is it they say about it ain’t whu’tchy know, it’s who y’know?
An, speakin uv the law, a body cain’t hep but be drawn to this headline: Outsourcing to India Draws Western Lawyers. Thair ye go. It ain’t enough at we gotta put up with customer disservice fokes we cain’t understand, now lawyers are bein’ outsourced t’India.
Now, I gotta wonder if at case I jist won wuz done by one a’them outsourced lawyers. Or maybe a gang uv’em.
Thair I wuz, opnin’ a envelope at obviously had a check in it. I could jist feel the extry spit formin a drool. How much could it be? It wuz from one a’them big lawyer gangs at specializes in class-action lawsuits. An since I git a lotta invitations t’join in on’em, I figgered one had jist come through. At maybe I’d won the lottery.
The big fat check was fer how much? $13.42… Thirteen Dollars and Forty Two Cents? Ye gotta be kiddin. At’s a insult! But the insult gits deeper. At big check can only be used it says t’buy more travel through Expedia. Well, Expedia couldn’a thunk up a better promotion. Git sued, lose and distribute coupons t’git fokes t’do bidness with’em.
Well, first, I don’t remember suin’em. But I find out at all I had t’do wuz nuthin, an iss big law firm would fight fer me anyhow. If ‘ey ebm asked me t’begin with, I probly threw the junk mail away. So I got a law gang t’say they’s my lawyers an I been cheated or sumpm an at’s a travesty, so somebody needs t’git paid fer that? An who gits paid in real spendin money? Would anybody guess it might be the lawyers?
So, Ms Kagan — scuse me, Justice Kagan — I’d say y’got y’self a job right off the bat. Cause lawsuits like at shore affect my daily life. An probly raise prices on everthang jist t’pay lawyers t’git rich while claimin’ e’re fightin fer us foke out here in the trenches.
Like at ole boy Thomas Paine said back air in 1792, when fathers wuz first bein promoted t’forefathers an women wuz jist keepin’ house an bein’ mamas. “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil” –The Rights of Man (1792)
