You usually don’t associate sports with the First Amendment. The UFC hopes the courts will do what the NY legislature has failed to do, thus far. On a personal note, this was …

Maybe when Stewart Copeland is done being a drummer, he has a possible career as a political spin doctor.
“Chinese Democracy” is Axl Rose’s “Star Wars” prequel trilogy.
Containing not one but two references to “Insane in the Brain!” I couldn’t be prouder of myself. (subscription required)
