Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

    "Trial lawyers and a consumer health group are teaming up to go after America's ice cream, sending out legal notices to six major chains this week as the group released a study criticizing ice cream's nutritional value." - TIMES     Plaintiff's lawyers rely on fat-kidneyed hedge-pigs disguised as  consumer advocates - usually a Ralph Nader enterprise , this time it's the "Center for Science in the Public Interest."  - to raise a health issue in preparation for a flurry of lawsuits designed to fatten their bank accounts.  The champion elf-skinned scut beating the garbage can this time around is John Banzhaf III.  In days of yore the citizenry, tired of Banzhaf's unscrupulous behavior, would wrap his corpulency in hot tar, add two pillows worth of chicken feathers and carry him out of town on a pole.  Ah, for the days of yore.
