Stop me before I drink again...

... or I'll sue

A coalition of lawyers who have actively and successfully sued tobacco companies says it is close to filing a class-action lawsuit against soft-drink makers for selling sugared sodas in schools. The lawyers, who have been trying to develop a case against the soft-drink makers for more than two years, say a lawsuit could be filed within the next few weeks, probably in Massachusetts, which has one of the nation's most plaintiff-friendly consumer-protection laws.
Thank you, MA, home of the KK Senators.
Leading the litigation effort is Richard A. Daynard, an associate dean at Northeastern University School of Law in Boston, who is also president of the Tobacco Control Resource Center and chairman of the Tobacco Products Liability Project, both of which have provided legal support to attorneys suing tobacco companies. Daynard was involved in many of the state cases against the tobacco firms that led to the landmark $246 billion settlement in 1998. [...]

"You want to keep kids away from dangerous objects, and a soda machine is demonstrated to be a dangerous object for kids."

Hmmm. Let me see how this goes. Soda is dangerous for minors, abortion is not.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Funny, when I went to high-school I never noticed the abortion vending machines.

"Thank you, MA, home of the KK Senators."


Whoa! "The KK Senators"! Holy crap. That kinda, vaguely reminds me of the Ku Klux Klan, that group with a history of murder, torture, and harassment of racial minorities! You know those guys? They advocate white supremacy!!

HEY -- I bet Ted Kennedy and John Kerry are kinda like those guys! Think about it: K. K!

Wow, they're fricking AWFUL. Why are they still in Congress?





[Darleen says: the Klass Klowns keep getting elected because Uncle Teddy is MA's electorial equivalent of a pity fuck and at least the electorate can keep "Do you know who I am?" Kerry out of the state as much as possible. Now, why do you obsess about race so much?]

Oh, I see. The "KK" appellation is supposed to automatically remind us of Klass Klowns. Because that's how everybody spells it in all the news articles they write about that most famous of organizations. Those Klass Klowns, really, when you think about it, they changed the face of America forever, and still provide a relevant counterpoint to the prevailing culture and mores of our nation. Silly. Frickin'. Me. Why didn't I think of that? Why did "KK" automatically make me think of that obscure group of racists, the Klu Klux Klan, founded in 1998 after a schism in The Church Of The Subgenius, which we all know was a joke anyway?

I guess I'm just paranoid.
