W. T. H. B. F.?!??

Wednesday, May. 02, 2007 - 9:08 a.m.

In my rare but usually more than a little important second post of the day, I draw your attention to a little something that can be filed in the What The Holy Blithering Fuck?!?? department.

It seems that a Washington DC attorney is suing a drycleaner for $67 million dollars in a case which originally stemmed from the drycleaner misplacing a pair of the attorney's suit trousers.

The attorney who is suing is African American.

The owners of the drycleaning establishment are Korean.

If this were the other way around, and a Korean attorney were suing an African-American-owned drycleaning store for $67 million, don't you know the Reverend Al Sharpton would get his bad self on television with veins bulging convincingly, telling his brethren to watch out for certain racist communities trying to keep the brothers down?

Where is Sharpton now? Why won't he come to the defense of this old Korean couple whose retirement and life savings have been ravaged beyond any hope of salvage by the attorney fees they are forced to spend?

I hope this attorney is disbarred.

Okay. I should be calmed down pretty soon.
