Marc Fisher has the best summary of today's arguments at the D.C. Court of Appeals. The good news for former administrative law judge Roy Pearson's epic, seemingly unending $54 million pants lawsuit, writes Fisher, is that the three judges hearing the appeal were "not buying Pearson's notion that a shop sign that promises 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' means that a merchant must honor any cockamamie demand that an unhappy customer might make." We probably won't have a ruling from the appeals court for at least a month, but it sounds like Pearson doesn't have a chance in hell.

IMGoph, c'mon, there's no way the U.S. Supreme Court would agree to hear this case.

Someone really needs to put this nut away...or at least give him a boat and tell him there's a white whale with his name on it out there.
down with pants!
up with kilts!
(thinks thru statements...) oops.
Actually, I think there's a special circle of hell he has a chance in. Not for winning his appeal, of course.
