The truth be told, you always get a much better deal from the Mob than you do from ATLA, or whatver B.S. name they are going to call it.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Association of Trial Lawyers of America voted during its convention this week to change its name to the American Association for Justice.
Spokeswoman Chris Mather said there was overwhelming support for the change, and that the new name "reflects whose side we're on in the fight for justice."
The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, a critic of the trial lawyers group, called it "an astounding admission of the unpopularity of trial lawyers in America."
The 60-year-old association has 65,000 members.
"How much does it cost for engineer brain?"
"Three dollars an ounce."
"How much does it cost for programmer brain?"
"Four dollars an ounce."
"How much for lawyer brain?"
"$1,000 an ounce."
"Why is lawyer brain so much more?"
"Do you know how many lawyers we had to kill to get one ounce of brain?"
Trial lawyers like unions are the worst.
They changed their name to market themselves and hide who they are better.
It follows - liberals lie and call themselves "progressives"
so tort scum can lie and associate their name with the word "justice"
And they have zilch to do with "justice". They should be the NABSL.
BSL = Blood Sucking Leeches
Exactly.
They shouldn't be allowed to call themselves Americans.
"They changed their name to market themselves and hide who they are better."
Kind of like liberals calling themselves progessives. The old term became a deservedly negative word and they had to come up with something different.
progressive/liberal/socialist/communist
very few words have as negative a connotation as lawyer.
True . . . true.
The truth be told, you always get a much better deal from the Mob than you do from ATLA, or whatver B.S. name they are going to call it.
HILLARY!
They are as respected as NAMBLA
Was that the gay love child of the gay man Richard Simmons?
A man walked into a curio shop and began to
browse. He was attracted to a brass rat on a
shelf behind the counter. He asked the shopkeeper
for a price, and was told to make an offer.
Presently they agreed on a price, and the brass
rat changed hands. The shopkeeper warned the
customer as he took the money, 'This sale is
final. If you leave the shop with the brass rat,
I won't take it back under any circumstances.'
The customer agreed and left with the rat. As he
walked home, he noticed that a live rat came
scurrying out of an alley and began to follow
him. Soon there were more, all following him and
milling bout his feet. The man began to run, but
the rats kept up, and more joined the procession.
After a few minutes, thousands of rats were
chasing after the man. The man ran frantically
for the river, and threw the brass rat into the
water. The live rats followed the brass rat, and
soon all had drowned. The man returned to the
curio shop, and on seeing him enter, the
shopkeeper shouted, 'I told you, the sale was
final! You cannot return the brass rat!'
The customer replied, 'That's no problem. I just
wondered if you had a brass lawyer in stock.'
Pinchy Sulzberger runs the NY Times. I think his "Partner" is Richard Simmons, and Simmons is the "man" in the relationship.
