Guess who is no longer being sued? (for now anyway).
Details from the CT Post:
A federal judge refused to order the state to put Mel Thompson’s name on the Derby mayoral ballot after telling the independent candidate the case needs to be heard by a state court.
But Thompson said there is no guarantee a state court judge would hear the case Friday or that he could complete all the requirements in time.
“I’d have to draft the complaint, serve the parties and then file the return of service and suit in court,” he said. “It’ll cost at least $800. I’d rather put that money into a write-in campaign.”
For reasons that I still don’t understand, Disgruntled_Republican and I were both named in the lawsuit. Look for a longer editorial later today about this.
But for now: Yay!

I’ll be seeing if I can get him to sue me later on.
Just an update on the baseball playoffs…notice how he Rockies are up 2-0? Also look for a Yankees victory tonight. Tonight is the night that the plate will be expanded for Andy Pettitte. Laugh all you want…Yanks/Colorado World Series.
Mr. Reality,
I was watching the strike zone closely last night as you suggested we did. It didn’t appear to me Yankees got any breaks or that the strike zone had been expanded as you predicted it would be.
They are not going to do it every game Robin Hood. It’s a subtle thing.
It’ll be a Sox-Rox World Series. Though the Sox-Indians ALCS could go 7 games.
More on topic, though. Matt Holliday is one of my favorite players, but I have serious doubts about whether he touched the plate in that tiebreaker game against the Padres. I’m suing.
I’m telling you my friend was involved in the Florida voting controversy. He’s all into these conspiracy theories. He really believes that the election was stolen from Gore & Kerry too (in Ohio). He thinks MLB is fixed and that George Bush (with his ties to MLB) is assisting the league. He suggests that some of these people who helped rig the elections are assisting MLB to do the same thing to maximize television revenue. He told me that the Yankees will be in the series against a surprise team. I suspect that is the Rockies.
He told me to look at the Sunday’s TV lineup…3 games…1 in NY, 1 in Chi, 1 in LA. Now you must be wondering what’s up with the Rockies…the Rockies would supress the notion of a fix and as long as the Yankees are in it revenue will soar! As long as the Yankees get out of the ALDS, the team they play in the ALCS doesn’t matter becasue it would be either BOS or LA. Both of those teams against the Yankees would bring in good ratings.
Um, if you want good ratings it’s Red Sox nation baby. America’s most favorite team!
Even Mets fans hate the Yankees…

I like days like today, when the team insignia magically disappears, and things become suddenly nice and quiet.
It will grow quieter still if Carmona wins tonight. (and he’ll have to win it, as one can’t imagine that Petite will blow a game a la Wang last night.)
I’m with Gabe.

Bet thats the first, and last, time you ever type that!!!
hahahaha
CGG and DR, I’m really glad that this ridiculous lawsuit against you two has gone nowhere. I’ll leave it at that since I’d rather not be sued myself.
It seems that Mel Thompson hasn’t quite given up yet, though he’s pouting about his lack of progress.
And based on extensive independent research, he’s ready to write his victory speech.
External polls about the race for mayor of Derby? Who’s doing that? Gallup? Pew?
Polling eh? Who knew that Thompson was so well funded. Someone should sue HIM for $100 million.
