Michael Vick = terrorist?

August 15th, 2007

For all of Michael Vick’s faults, I don’t think he’s a terrorist. But evidently an inmate in South Carolina does.

Jonathan Lee Riches is suing Vick for — get this — stealing his two pit bulls, selling them on eBay and using the proceeds to buy missiles from Iran.

I don’t know what the going rate is for pit bulls, but if Vick is selling them to buy missiles — well, either those dogs have a Warren Buffet-type touch in the stock market, or those are some really lousy missiles.

Riches is seeking $63 billion in damages — or, as he put it in his handwritten lawsuit, “$63,000,000,000 billion.”

    I’m picking Vick in our Fantasy Football draft as my sleeper.

    Couldn’t that mean he’s actually suing Vick for $63,000,000,000,000,000,000? I believe that is 63 Quintillion.

    Cineaste, Vick will be a sleeper, alright. The only question is whether it will be on the top bunk or the bottom.

    I’m sure he’s worse than a terrorist in the minds of the PETA folks. However, this guy’s apparently deranged or an opportunist or both (more likely).
