Not happy with "predetermined outcome" rassler kicks other rassler below the belt.

In his lawsuit, the plaintiff alleges pro wrestling is "scripted", and "choreographed". Really??? This is painful to read. Whatever happens to his lawsuit, I hope J Milz recovers from his injury. Scripted or not scripted, it wouldn't hurt to wear a cup. The ball's in your court, Guido.

Cover up of Conservative Radio Host hit and run outside Gay Bar.

Lally Law Office PLLC

OK, so a former republican councilman and current conservative talk-radio bloviater does a hit-and-run outside a gay bar. He hits the bouncer's vehicle. The bouncer sees him do it. He sees they guy and identifies him as said talk radio host. He writes down the license plate. The license plate number traces back to said talk show host. Security cameras inside the bar show that said talk show hose was inside the establishment before the collision. The police send evidence to the DA. The DA won't prosecute because "nobody saw him do it". Sounds like somebody is a radio fan.

500 Valentines?

Mike walked into a post office just before Valentine's Day, and he couldn't help noticing a middle aged man standing in a corner sticking " Love " stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. Then the man got out a bottle of Chanel perfume from his pocket and started spraying the scent over the envelopes.

By now, Mike's curiosity had got the better of him, and so he asked the man why he was sending all those cards. The man replied, " I'm sending out 500 Valentine cards signed, " Guess Who? "
" But why? " asked Mike.

" I'm a divorce lawyer, " the man replied.
