Another day.

Don't get me wrong: the money is good if it materializes as promised, is fairly distributed and not played as a short-term political slush fund that's all well and gone 20 years down the line when cancers from the environmental fallout might just be getting diagnosed.

Still, a lil part of me would loved to have seen a courtroom showdown between a homegrown Mississippi trial lawyer and an international team of oil company executive lawyers.

Cathartic justice, plus some down-home American showmanship and all...
