Unhappy schmuck

Joseph Stiglitz Asks $1 Million in Suit Against Ex-Divorce Lawyer
Sitglitz, economist and promoter of the happiness index, is unhappy.
He is suing his former divorce lawyer because he ended up having to share his Noble Prize award money with his ex-wife.
Stiglitz, a bankster apologist, must be applying some kind of Keynesian earnings multiplier here, since, according to Bloomberg, Stiglitz is asking a federal jury in Washington to award him more than $1 million in damages from his former lawyer, who he says failed to file divorce papers in time to prevent his second wife from claiming part of his $300,000 Nobel Prize money. 
Before the Judge in the case nixed the ideas, Stiglitz initially sought $5 million and suggested that he could testify as his own damages expert.
