Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Sounds like Trouble needed a better lawyer! :(

Leona's charitable foundation already has "multibillions" and yet they got the courts to rob Trouble's trust fund? For shame!

Gee, why bother making a will if the courts can change it after you die.

Trouble is living in Florida with Carl Lekic, the general manager of the Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel, the paper said. The dog's annual expenses are around $190,000, he said.

I am guessing Trouble's "expenses" include about $189,000 in "management" fees for Carl...
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

I read that he takes only $60,000 a year. Approximately $100,000 is spent per year on 24 hour a day security. The rest of the money is spent on food and other items.

Here's a quote from another article:
Lekic put her annual expenses at $190,000, which includes his $60,000 guardian fee, $100,000 for 'round-the-clock security, $8,000 for grooming, $3,000 for miscellaneous expenses, $1,200 for food and anywhere from $2,500 to $18,000 for medical care.

I'm guessing the $3,000 silly outfits fell under "miscellaneous expenses"....

Sheesh, my Uncle Effin left me a shiny gum wrapper in his will, and I was tickled to death to inherit that....

After Leona's death, I read that Trouble never quite managed to get house-trained. I'm guessing that the rest of the expenses are for carpet cleaning.

How much can a doggie door cost? And baseball caps are cheap too.

Does that mean we get a share of the remaining $2,000,000?

And what did you think of my little tribute I made up to you this morning? I'm expecting it to beat out Al Gore for the next Best Documentary Oscar.....

I saw your tribute. I hope that doesn't mean you're going to try to get out of the bill he's going to send you as the most visible member of the NSAS.

You should have put seersucker stripes on his Superman suit. BTW, you used my picture, clearly identifiable, without permission, yet this was not a news photograph of the sort that would let you reproduce my likeness without having a signed release. I may get a lawyer of my own.

How are you going to fund that opera of yours if you run up a pile of legal bills trying to extort peanuts from me? I can show you hundreds of pictures of other dogs that look just like you.... let me see, no that's you.... and yeah, that's definitely you.... well OK, I don't have any of them on me now, but you have a lot of twins out there just like I do!

And at least I didn't use you in the closing sequence... but only because ladies don't usually lift their legs....

Sure, sure, and I am the world's only evil squirrel.

You may be the world's only brownhound who knows how to post on a message board, but I've taunted many other dogs in my life who look like you do.... kinda..... sorta......
