I’m thinking of calling a lawyer to see if I can file a Vioxx suit. Mark Lanier in Houston is probably busy on other calls, having won a $253 million Vioxx verdict against Merck & Co. this month. No matter. The Internet is full of lawyers offering free consultations, online case evaluations and toll-free telephone numbers.

If Lanier can win that much money for a widow whose husband might not have died from Vioxx, if he can do it with 11 Republicans on the jury in a politically conservative county, then surely anybody can win a case against Merck.
