Michael Vick, onetime NFL quarterback, loved watching dogs fight to the death for his pleasure. Since the time of Jack London writing White Fang this action has generally been viewed as distasteful, stomach churning and downright illegal, which is why Vick’s in prison.
But, while it takes a certain twisting of the mind to enjoy watching dogs rip each others throats out, it’s a whole new type of crazy that leads someone to accuse Vick of trying to buy Iranian missiles for an Al Qaeda mission.
But that’s exactly what happened. Vick’s fellow inmate Jonathan Lee Riches filed a “$63,000,000,000 billion dollar” lawsuit (either “$63 billion,” or “$63,000,000,000″ would have worked just fine Jonathan). It claimed that Vick stole two pit bulls from him and sold them on eBay. According to Riches, Michael Vick used the money from the sale to buy missiles from Iran.
Those pit bulls must have been capable of crapping gold if Vick made enough money from their sale to buy missiles.
The handwritten lawsuit filing (read it) goes on to inform us that Vick needed the missiles because he pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda.
I envision that pledge reading like this: I pledge allegiance to Al Qaeda, and to the insanity for which it stands: a bunch of terrorists under Osama, with killing and destruction for all. Something tells me Michael Vick, for all his faults, didn’t do that.
By the way, you’ve got to love that Jonathan Lee Riches hand-wrote the copyright symbol at the end of his name. It’s a classy touch.
