For this, the historic 500th posting I've made on this blog, I find myself asking a critical question ...
Can I sue myself?
I suffered some minor injuries recently as the result of a household accident. Nothing critical, nothing requiring hospitalization. However, it was (and continues to be) painful.
Looking at the news reports of people filing lawsuits over anything and everything, it occurs to me that someone ought to pay for my suffering. The fact that it was my fault ... why should that get in the way? If a woman can sue McDonald's for burning her crotch because she spilt hot coffee on herself is a valid example.
As I sat semi-lucid in the fog of some pain killers the doc gave me, it came to me. It was like one of those moments you see in Cheech and Chong (or other 'stoner' movies) when the high out of his mind character sees enlightenment ... "WOW, man ...".
I ought to sue. I don't know who. The who doesn't matter, even if it is myself. If Obama has taught me anything, it is that someone else should have to pay. Now, I just need his DoJ to tell me who is going to send me the money ....
