Today the Common Sense Politics Blog is pleased to announce a new feature called Deb’s Corner.
We’re not sure how often we’ll be able to get Deb to speak up, but when she does we know we’re in for a double-dose of good old fashioned common sense. Take it away, Deb!

Empathy … It’s Not Just For Breakfast Anymore
Monday a local auto dealership got a ruling from an “empathetic” judge right here in M.C. for a lawsuit that’s been going on since last September.
The dealership had been sued by a former employee who quit on the anniversary of his first year (for which he had already received 2 weeks vacation pay … something the dealership normally doesn’t do for the first year of employment).
The former employee then sued the dealership for two more weeks of vacation pay plus other damages amounting to $4000.
It should have been a slam-dunk for the dealership, but the judge ruled they have to pay one week’s vacation pay plus court costs.
How’s that for “empathy”?
