No Loftier Purpose

A current post by the estimable Lee Rodgers on his superb blog at 

indicates that he finds something untoward about our public treasury having shelled out $4.3 million to two San Francisco Bay Area legal megafirms for putting together the deal in which our government dropped more than a half billion taxpayer dollars into and with the now bankrupt solar panel maker, Solyndra. 

This is hugely disappointing because I always enjoyed listening to the unusually intelligent radio talk show that the acerbic and well informed Mr. Rodgers used to host. 

But I cannot overlook that only the most benighted of the poor sods among us can fail to appreciate and understand that paying legal fees is the highest calling in American life and business. After all, were this not so lawyers might find it difficult to realize the God-given right that He has bestowed on them to each be paid at least a million dollars a year.
