    However, Hater Joe's is still going strong selling pointy white hats and excess McCain Palin merchandise.

    Growing up, there was a Gristedes right down the street from my house and I remember it being a really great, more upscale grocery store.

    Anyone can sue anyone in Mur-kah.


    "...grubby little toes..." I'm going to sue you for that.


    Could be that they think Trader Joe's is going out of business soon and feel it would be a shame not to squeeze a little money out of the brand recognition.
