In other post-Katrina insurance news, Mississippi trial lawyer Dickie Scruggs, a major force in post-hurricane contract-shredding litigation, is continuing in his battle with Mississippi Insurance Commissioner George Dale. Scruggs recently donated $250,000 to a group called Mississipians for Fair Elections, in a further attempt to drive Dale from office.

This action comes on the heels of Scruggs' earlier foray into cartooning.

Classy as always, Dickie.
