Mark Cuban Files BADASS Legal Doc
Frpm TMZ ” Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban just dropped the ultimate “IN YOUR FACE” statement to a minority owner of the team … who tried to take control away from Mark last year. Long story short — the minority owner, a company owned by Ross Perot Jr. — filed legal papers in May 2010 calling Cuban a “careless and reckless” owner who was running the team into the ground. Perot begged a judge to remove Cuban from operational control of the squad before it was too late. Now, Cuban has responded in legal docs with the greatest statement ever … a photo of the Mavs hoisting the NBA championship trophy. In the docs, Cuban adds, “Under Cuban’s stewardship, the Mavericks have become one of the league’s most successful teams and are now NBA champions.” ”

Arrested for dancing at Jefferson Memorial
REALLY WTF !
Stupid laws enforced by stupid people, I guess that’s America.
From RussiaToday “A flashmob in Washington has felt the full force of the law, by being forcibly arrested by police – for dancing in public. They’d gathered at the Jefferson Memorial in defiance of a ban on dancing at the monument. Among those held were RT America presenter Adam Kokesh, who says he was slammed to the ground by officers. The ban came in during 2008 when an activist sued police for arresting her for public dancing. The group say they were paying tribute to her as a champion of the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom, and in response to US District Judge John D. Bates’ ruling that denounced dancing on the site.”
