I'm getting tired of this daily grind. And the chances of Ed McMahon showing up on my doorstep are pretty slim. Besides, in my neighborhood, someone would probably steal the check from him before he even found my house.
Trouble is, all the good lawsuits have already been taken.
The tobacco industry's coughed up billions of dollars, the gun makers are under fire in several states and now Rhode Island's touching up the first of many expected suits against companies that made and sold lead paint. I can't make any money from it, but the paint lawsuit did open my eyes to the possibilities of what I'll call delayed litigation. Apparently, you can sue companies for something they produced a long time ago, even if they didn't know their products were dangerous. I've already started my list. The government says freon is eating holes in the ozone.
