Am in Charleston, SC playing Perry Mason in my daughter and son-in-law's breach of contract civil suit against the renters from hell who trashed their brand new house and bolted four months into a two-year lease.  The lawyer wanted a $3,500 retainer to be replenished when half was gone.  Vulture! Will be back on Chickaboomer later today.  By the way, CB has just logged post number 9,000 as of Sunday!

  11. The Chewbacca Defense is a term for any legal strategy or propaganda strategy that seeks to overwhelm its audience with nonsensical arguments, as a way of confusing the audience and drowning out legitimate opposing arguments. It is thus a kind of logical fallacy: specifically, a red herring fallacy and non sequitur similar to argumentum ad nauseam.
