Dear John Pick,

Why do you volunteer to fall on swords?  The next time you decide to block a website, just do it.  Don't announce it.

Runaround Sue has decided not to stop at announcing a lawsuit against me.  Now he has threatened the blogger over at Salisbury Soapbox.

Showing his angry side, Runaround Sue was inflamed when Soapbox criticized him for not providing the whole story about the recent Doug Brown funeral.

According to Jihad Joe, "a local attorney" in Salisbury is planning to sue me, and has invited Jihad Joe to join the case.  Jihad Joe claims I called him a terrorist and defamed his character.

Of course, one must possess character in order to defame it.

One also must be careful in what one chooses to believe.  Since Jihad Joe did not identify said attorney, this could be made up news -- just like most of Jihad Joe's made up assertions, accusations, insinuations, and suppositions based on nothing but stale air.  Until I am served, there is no case, as Jihad Joe has pointed out in other forums.  So I await the Baltimore County Deputy Sheriff with open arms.  Make sure on the service papers you say "go to front door".  I can't always hear someone knocking on the back door, and the doorbell button back there isn't working.

I am fairly confident that I would prevail, given a fair opportunity to present my case.

Just one important thing:  you shouldn't file in Wicomico County.  Most of the judges in Wicomico County know my father, and they would probably have to recuse themselves.  A lot of people in the potential jury pool know either me, my dad, or my late stepmother.  And since my blog is written in Baltimore County-- and hosted on servers in Los Angeles County -- I will intend to argue over jurisdiction.  Just where did the alleged offenses occur? 

I will be needing counsel, so if anyone is interested, please contact me at blog@gunpowderchronicle.com.  I figure Charlie Jannace can't, because he previously represented Jihad Joe. But, there are still a lot of good attorneys out there.  I definitely won't be representing myself, as only a fool has himself for a client.

The Delmar Dego, The Wicomico Wop, Jihad Joe Albero slings insults and lies like a Taco Bell customer breaking wind.  But I think now he has gone overboard.  In the words of Howard Beale, "I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE."

Where is the town of Bivale?

Anyone?

Buehler?  Buehler?  Anyone?

Oh, there isn't a town of Bivale?

Imagine my shocking surprise when I logged on to The Daily Slime in Salisbury to find the following headline under "Breaking News":

Patient Jumps from Window at PRMC

Jihad Joe is announcing that he is apparently now being sued by Mayor Barrie "Headlights" Tilghman.

I want to offer a service to the ENTIRE blogosphere.  If there are any lawyers out there reading this (Bill?  Hadley?  Don?  George?) who can slip by the courthouse and pick up a copy of the papers, let me know at blog@gunpowderchronicle.com. I'll send you my fax number, and you can fax them over to me.  I'll scan and post the entire text of the lawsuits here, and provide comments where I can.

Let me again restate that although I think Jihad Joe is a repugnant little troll, I think using the courts to silence bloggers is bad fom, and shamelessly stupid.

Andy Harris now posting a weekly update over at Jihad Joe's site, AQD.

What is he thinking?  If Andy thinks this will gain him credibility, I'd have to question his wisdom.

Sunday's Daily Slime featured an article claiming that 60% of Wicomico County's Residents don't have access to a fire hydrant and therefore, there homes may be in imminent danger of destruction by fire.

I say, "So, there are other options."

The Great Curmudgeon, over at Duvafiles, informs the blogging community that the Bloods have officially taken over Pemberton Manor.

Tell me, was that takeover made easier by the fact that Pemberton Manor -- a haven of Section 8 housing subsidies -- is Salisbury's only gated community?

Let's face it, if you can't keep a bunch of gangstas and their tramps out of a gated community, what can you do?
