Another great news show – I could listen to two a day…even three. News you may hear elsewhere, but certainly not in the depth you present. Several of your stories related to people trying to sue “the bad guys” to achieve some form of “justice.” Always remember that when the Repugs throw around the phrase “tort reform” that is code for the little guy getting shut out of suing for any form of justice. No one who has suffered from a corporation’s massive bad acts can ever be made whole, but getting a chunk o’ change can certainly help with the medical bills.
