Will this lawsuit fly?
Can you get drunk on a flight, then sue the airline for giving you the booze?
Well, of course you can sue, it's the American way! The question is can you sue successfully? And if alcohol can cause this, shouldn't it be illegal? This whole going to work thing is the sucker's way out. I need to find something to sue on to get me meeeeeeeeelions. Any suggestions Mr. Lawyer?

but didn't Hemingway smoke?
Cigarette Pack-Shaped Books Get British American Tobacco Steamed
"British American Tobacco, however, claims that the book containing the Hemingway classics "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Undefeated" too closely resembles a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. BAT believes the association could threaten the health of its brand."

Bell's beer is coming back to Chicago
(Crain’s) — A year after pulling its beers from Chicago taps and liquor stores, Bell’s Brewery Inc. is making plans for a return.
The Kalamazoo, Mich., brewery stopped serving Chicago after a dispute with National Wine & Spirits Inc., the Indianapolis company that holds the rights to distribute Bell’s Beer in Illinois...
Brewery president Larry Bell says he has found a way to get around the impasse: He has created three new beers specifically for the Chicago market...
Mr. Bell, a Park Forest native, says he is finalizing contracts with two distributors to bring the beers, under the name Kalamazoo, to bars and restaurants in just a few areas of Chicago. The company already has federal permits to sell three varieties of Kalamazoo — Indian pale ale, porter and royal amber ale.
Each bottle will have a label reading: "Brewed especially for the people of the great state of Illinois." (even Blago? ed.)
Mr. Bell also needs a license and label approval from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, but litigation may be a more significant obstacle.
He says National Wine & Spirits officials have told him they will sue to stop the sale of Kalamazoo beers in Chicago. NWS executives could not be reached for comment Monday afternoon.
"I think it will be a very interesting court case"” Mr. Bell says. "They’ve promised to make it as messy and difficult as they can..."
"We know we’re going to get sued, so we’re just sticking our toes in the water with a couple of people who are willing to get in the water with us," (Smiff? ed.) Mr. Bell says...

Suit accuses Apple, AT&T of monopoly
You know, when you paid the $600 for the newest Apple iCrap, you knew what the stipulations were. Nobody forced you to buy it either. So I don't see how these iIdiots have a case. This ain't the only phone that's carried exclusively either. That's what a phone company does to entice you to join them. If you don't like it, don't buy the phone. They'll get the hint real fast.
