Hit Me With Your Marine Hose!


MDLs are fun.

They keep lawyers busy, usually there are interesting and sophisticated legal issues, and the judge often takes interest in and sometimes even ownership of the cases.

I see Judge Graham has certified a class in the marine hose antitrust cases in a thoughtful, well-reasoned order.

Some of the defendants have also settled, though the Manuli defendants -- represented by Alan Greer and a team from Sullivan & Cromwell -- appear to be big losers here.

That's what happens sometimes when the parties can't or won't negotiate a reasonable resolution.

Now comes the 23(f) for the Sullivan boys -- YAY MORE BILLING!

Even I would be slightly concerned about having The Grinder on my back.

Then I would eat him alive.

Third!

Down in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

CHORUS:
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I'm a warrior
Can't get food for them kid, good God


Oh no...
Oh no...
Oh no...
Oh no...

I've been hit with marine hose more than my share. I always had a really good time. Speaking of anti-trusts, can't you lawyers do anything about the price of pet pharmaceuticals? There's some serious bs going on in that market. The price of Sentinel, a combination flea and heart-worm treatment recently went up by 50% for no apparent reason. Why isn't all this crap available in generics by now? Seriously, 5 bucks for many human medicines, 120 for our pets? Somethings wrong.

It means we love our pets far more than we do our fellow humans.
