Some days, I really like being a lawyer

Like the day Scooter Libby was indicted. Today is one of those days, but on a much smaller scale. Why? Because Richard Hatch was sentenced, and CNN issued this headline: "'Fat naked guy' gets 51 months for 'Survivor' tax dodge." The simple brilliance of it sends chills down my spine. Some copy editor deserves a big, fat bonus.

Of course, this is not the only important legal headline of the day. Hawaiian golfers are no longer potentially liable for errant balls. And I'd like to see this woman sue the energy company for shutting off her power over $0.01. But those are just extra, added goodies.

"'Fat naked guy' gets 51 months. . . " is just awesome.
