Smiles, Everyone, Smiles!

Boy it's another crappy day in paradise. I open up the paper and learn that Michael Putney thinks the Marlins stadium giveaway is a ridiculous joke, then I read how our schools chief was just named National Superintendent of the Year but he's about to be fired for no good reason.

Ok, that's business-as-usual in the Magic City. But here's the tragic news -- Ashley Dupre dropped her Girls Gone Wild lawsuit:

The call girl associated with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has dropped a Miami lawsuit against "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis.

Court documents show Ashley Dupre voluntarily dismissed the $10 million federal lawsuit Thursday accusing Francis of exploiting her image and name on the Internet, The Associated Press reported. She said she was only 17 when she signed a binding contract giving permission to appear in the "Girls Gone Wild" video.

Come on! Gone is our chance for a really interesting 3d DCA Watch, one where Judge Schwartz could finally opine on the sanctity of contract law in the context of underage, drunken displays of public nudity. That would have made slogging through those opinions week after week worthwhile.....

Fake Eliot Spitzer, the tribe awaits your comments.
