Hey, remember that ludicrous lawsuit about a bus crash we wrote about last month where the passengers collected $17.5 million from the bus manufacturer on a trumped-up design-defect theory after swearing that they hadn’t sued the bankrupt bus charter company (Dec. 1)? Turns out there may be some perjury involved, and a federal bankruptcy judge is none-too-pleased at the attempted double-dip. (Tommy Witherspoon, “Bankruptcy judge outraged over bus crash testimonies”, Waco Tribune-Herald, Jan. 14 (via Prince)).

Three cheers for Judge Kelly in expressing his outrage in terms that everyone can understand. I move that “total b.s.” should replace the archaic terms of “frivolous,” “vexatious”and “obdurate.”
