If this doesn't REALLY push tort reform, nothing will.

OK you get a ^5 for that.

Kooch is a dirty old man who has had three bites at the apple.  



This being the latest in his cradle robbing.  Sounds like kama to me.   Must have been a partial plate he broke, he is older than dirt.

I win.

from the dump we now have this....

When I bit into the olive pit, (unbeknown to me at the time), upon impact the tooth split in half, vertically through the crown and the tooth, below the level of the bone. Externally there was no evidence of a break. This was not about aesthetics. The internal structure of the tooth was rendered nonrestorable.Although the pain was excruciating, I shook it off and I went right back to work.

This tooth is a key tooth which anchored my upper bridgework. The injured tooth and the bone above it became infected. I took a course of antibiotics for the infection, had an adverse reaction to the antibiotics which caused me to have an intestinal obstruction and emergency medical intervention.

Later, my dentist referred me to a specialist who informed me that the damaged tooth had to be removed. A third dentist removed the tooth and I was fitted for a temporary partial. I waited for the bone to heal. An implant was placed, but it failed. Many months later still a second implant succeeded. My bridgework had to be completely reconfigured, a new partial was designed, so this injury did not affect only one tooth, but rather involved six (6) replacement teeth as well. A new crown with a new precision attachment was engineered and put in place. To clarify, no dental expenses were covered by any health plan, nor did I have dental insurance that covered the injury, which, until it was resolved, affected my ability to chew food properly.

I have lost two implants in the last ten years.  Never a plesant experience but good grief Dennis, man up.

Kucinich Settles Lawsuit Over Olive Pit in Sandwich

Thank God it's all over and we can sleep peacefully tonight

Perhaps he was concerned that he would no longer be able to eat pine nut, dandelion, and berry salads with Grandfather Twilight and Gandhi to discuss which one would be his campaign manager. Or maybe they just wanted tips on how much money an old guy had to have to attract a young skank.

I figure a $150,000 in cash only gets them to look your way.

Charlie Sheen has the better idea....a briefcase of coke and a little cash....sex is way cheaper that way. All the sex I ever had cost the hell outta me, one way or the other.

The cost benefit analysis would probably be interesting but I am not sure I am up to undertaking it at this time.
