One Mo' Time

Chicago's Panhandlers Clean Up?

When I heard this story this morning, I thought "Great. The little guy finally get's a break." Then I heard the rest of the story.

Here's the wind-up:

" A judge awards nearly a half-million dollars to 3,000 homeless people, saying they had been subjected to false arrest and harrassment."

Now, the pitch:

"The plaintiffs will split $99,000 among themselves, while the lawyers get $375,000 for representing them in court."

You know what I say: sometimes you can't win for losing -- to the lawyers!
