ivyficMost ludicrous lawsuit of the day:
"Ralph de Toledano filed suit last week in Washington, DC against Mark Felt, his son and attorney John O'Connor, alleging that he would not have signed away rights for just $5,000 to the 1979 book he co-authored with Felt if they hadn't concealed that Felt would reveal he was Deep Throat."
Well, if you put it that way... Yeah, it's completely unreasonable that Mark Felt did not tell his co-author that he was a top-secret informant and was going to accidentally let that fact slip to the media twenty-five years in the future. Because of course, even though he was concealing this from the rest of the world, his co-author should know.
Oh -- wait, wait. I know. He should have just told de Toledano that in 25 this book was going to be worth a lot. "Why?" "It just will. Trust me on that one." "Ooookaaaaay."
