Here is the latest in the never-ending JACC neighborhood controversy. A subpoena was recently served on Judith Gallas, who is currently the JACC accountant--but for who knows how much longer? In the subpoena, Gallas was commanded to turn over...

...a two-page list of stuff, and you could see considerable thought went into compiling the list. The two pages could, however, be summarized in one word: EVERYTHING.

Galllas--whose address is 2018 Franklin Ave. SE--has been scheduled to appear on April 8, 2009, as part of the discovery process.

See, that's the thing about suing somebody. When you sue somebody, you hand them the right to obtain "discovery" and get their hands on information as part of the court proceeding. Shooting off your own foot is an appropriate metaphor, in some ways, but not such an apt metaphor in other ways because--in the long run--shooting off your own foot may be less painful and damaging.
