• Commented on Big Pharma Goes Before Supreme Court To Get State Lawsuits Banned
  Why is this even at the SCOTUS? Of course drug labels should be federally pre-empted. Otherwise there would be 50 states with 50 different requirements of drug labels. The real issue is whether compliance with FDA labeling requirements is enough....

• Commented on The 10 Cities With The Most Crazy Expensive Loans

• Commented on
  Apart from the memories that many have of the park, I can't understand why anyone would fight to keep it open. The rides [[www.rides4u.com] ] are pretty lame and nothing different from a local carnival. The Parachute Jump hasn't been...
• Commented on Procter & Gamble: Pringles Are Not Potato Chips
  These kinds of lawsuits aren't uncommon in Britain. See the Jaffa Cake lawsuit at [en.wikipedia.org] I believe Britain has something of a junk food sin tax and P&G is trying to argue to get out of it based on a...

• Commented on UPS Can't Find Your Lost Computer, So They'll Honor Their Insurance Policy

• Commented on Rite Aid District Manager Successfully Handles A Customer Complaint

• Commented on Class Action Targets Ticket Resellers
  Doesn't the fact that resellers exist prove that the tickets are inefficiently priced in the first place? I hate scalpers as much as anyone but as long as they don't articifially decrease the supply of tickets (buying them all of...
• Commented on Survey Says: Half Of UK Men Would Give Up Sex For 50-Inch Plasma TV

• Commented on Thief Pretends To Work At Target, Steals $17k Worth Of iPods

• Commented on
  Yeah, it's a terrible hotel, it's across from the airport and abuts an expressway. It's in the middle of an import export district, what do you expect? Sheraton's are luxury hotels? Really?...
• Commented on Make Your Own Passport Photos
  This really ticked me a few weeks ago when they just took a [poor] digital photo of me and then put it in their self service machine and charged me 8 bucks for two lousy photos. Next time I'll save...

• Commented on What Is The Most Expensive Drink At Starbucks?
  @ivealwaysgotmail10: The disheveled gent's name is John and he works in my office. I don't think he even owns a bed. Focus: Why do people think that 'sticking it to the man' by getting the most expensive item comped at...
• Commented on Another Ohio Judge Halts A Foreclosure
  IANAOL -- But in reality, they move to file an amended complaint, wait ~20 days and then move for summary judgment. It's not like it was dismissed with prejudice, it only delays the inevitable....
• Commented on Fine Print Mars In-Store Pickup Guarantees
  I did Sears online checkout a few years ago, I went to pick it up and, I swear I'm not making this up, they had a sign that listed the previous day's average wait time -- 48 minutes. Like they...

• Commented on Sears Is #2 Holiday Shopping Destination, Still Can't Make Any Money
