Now that the California gubernatorial race has turned into a complete circus sideshow, with both Arnold Schwarznegger and Larry Flynt of Hustler running, I’m suggesting that Darl McBride should mount a campaign, as well. Since the state of California isn’t doing so well financially, he can mount frivolous lawsuits against other states in an attempt to prop up the economy.
In fact, he could have the State of CalifOrnia (SCO) claim to own the copyright to the concept of rolling blackouts, which they purchased from PG&E. Then, he can sue, say, Idaho, for initiating blackouts without paying proper licensing fees.
Or perhaps, after IBM’s lawyers are finished breaking his spine on the Catherine wheel, he’ll just have to find another ailing public company in need of a business model that involves suing people.
