$50,000 the Easy Way
Posted by Dave Blount at June 23, 2007 8:06 AM
From Nyack, New York comes one of countless examples of the tyranny of political correctness. An unidentified woman looted $50,000 from a local restaurant by claiming that way back when she worked for it a chef made "lewd and unwelcome remarks."
Neither the woman nor the chef has worked for the restaurant for about six years. How the avaricious woman could prove the remarks were made, much less that the restaurant should be held responsible for them, is a mystery. But the owner chose to settle because he couldn't afford to defend himself in our kangaroo courts.
The lucky winner apparently didn't have to worry about legal costs, because she had the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in her corner. John Edwards would be delighted to see our tax dollars at work, helping looters prey on honest businesses.
On a tip from Wiggins.
