Congress is mulling legislation to protect the fast food industry from class action lawsuits. Let's hope this actually passes. If it does, I'm sure it wont be too long before some new hot topic steals the attention of the Big Mother lobby who wants to control every aspect of your life, but at least things will be a little less farcical. Here's a money quote for you:
Democrats called the bill a Republican political ploy aimed at hurting trial lawyers and helping the multibillion dollar food business.
Yep, you heard it folks. The Democratic party is all about leaping to the defense of trial lawyers. Just remember, any time you hear some mediocrity ramble about "Helping the little guy," that the liberal definition of, "Little guy," is, "Trial lawyer."
Even if it doesn't pass congress, it may not matter:
Louisiana has passed similar state legislation. Nineteen other state legislatures — Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin — were considering similar bills as of March 1, the National Conference of State Legislatures said Wednesday.
And yes, I know that the French word for two is, "Deux." Keep your pants on.
