Santa Fe man sues neighbor for refusing to turn off her iPhone. And her dimmer switches and, presumably, her toaster. Seeks $530,000 in damages. Here’s the best part:
The lawsuit was filed Jan. 4 at the First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe. Firstenberg’s attorney, Lindsay Lovejoy, Jr, is a graduate of Harvard and Yale, as well as a former Assistant New Mexico Assistant Attorney General who has argued cases alongside now-US Sen. Tom Udall, D-NM.
There was a Lindsay Lovejoy who lived in Greenwich not so long ago. Is this his son? Here’s his picture – see iif you recognize him:
- Lindsay Lovejoy, Esq.
UPDATE: By God, it is his son! Those radiowaves in North Mianus must have gotten to him early.

This is a little off point, I guess, but several years ago, I met a very liberal lawyer, nice guy, pretty sophisticated but I couldn’t really tell if he had socialist leanings. He probably thought I was to the left because I had longish hair and a beard. He laughingly told me that he thought that if Karl Marx could have seen our tort system, he wouldn’t have bothered with political philosophy but would have become a plaintiff’s lawyer and brought as many suits as he could; both to redistribute wealth and to generally slow down the system. I gave a little confused chuckle and mentioned something about Harpo. I think he realized that his little insight was wasted on me.
