Seriously, Dennis Kucinich - WTF?? A $150K lawsuit over an olive pit?
I've given you a LOT of support over the years, including money. But this sort of thing just isn't helpful. Your chances of ever even becoming a VP candidate went from about zero to something less than that. This is pretty disappointing. An olive pit in your sandwich. Highly unpleasant, a bit shocking, perhaps even very painful (if you bit hard on it in just the right way), but worthy of a big lawsuit? (to me, $150K is a lot of money - is that the cost of your dental work, or some extra tacked on??)
Why couldn't you have just talked to the kitchen manager and simply acknowledged that sometimes mistakes happen?? Also, in this case, I'm betting that the mistake happened at the olive canning plant.

We should really learn more about the situation. I will tell you my dad bit into an olive pit that was in his food, and it cracked his tooth pretty bad. Treatment for it can be expensive.
Plus its sort of par for the course to just sue for the maximum and then let the jury decide how much is appropriate.
Yeah, maybe you're right, but he should have been savvy enough to know how this would look to some people, including those who might otherwise consider voting for him.
