More Anti-Fun Busybodies at Work

This time it's Chuck Humphrey. He's filed a Federal suit, attempting to act as a "private attorney general" (his words, not mine), against a range of companies who run fantasy football leagues. The companies include CBS, Disney (which owns ESPN), and others. See the actual complaint here. He is trying to end this "online gambling". Now, most people probably don't know who Chuck Humphrey is, but I do. He used to be a regular in the poker newsgroup. He was one of the investors in a poker tournament called the Tournament of Champions, which went belly up before the poker boom hit. He's an attorney who has been involved in the poker world for years. He should be the last person to go on an anti-gambling crusade. Radley Balko has about the right response:

But I do wish a non-fatal, but particularly embarassing venerial disease upon him...You can read more about Chuck Humphrey's assface lawsuit here. Me, I hope he loses his sense of taste. In a just world, stupid people like Chuck Humprhey would never get to taste pie. I hate you, Chuck Humphrey.

Crude, but hard to argue with.

The Worldnutdaily must have realized that they're not providing me with quite enough entertainment lately. They've now added Chuck Norris as a regular columnist. This should be good.
