California trial lawyers dance the java jive

A California judge ruled on Thursday that all coffee sold in the state must come with a cancer warning.

Journalists, as a class, tend to favor regulation, but journalists also tend to favor coffee even more. So, this news was met with consternation and mixed emotions. Some treated the story as “News of the Weird.” Some conservatives have chalked it up as another wacky ruling from a wacky California judge.
