Buried deep within the bowls of the  National Defense Authorization Act for 2008, was a provision to allow trial lawyers to loot funds intended to reconstruction of Iraq.    Don Surber calls this “Sue the victims.”    I just call

Keith B. Richburg, Washington Post, fights to keep his Rolodex relevant, and explores the issue of the Reverend Al Sharpton’s relevance:
