He’s still alive. About his plea deal the prosecutor said this: We could have gone forward with seven counts, but that is all we could have ever hoped to solve.

@Jolly Money follows the market. No conspiracy theory can alter that reality.

@jon-nyc Now it’s Go Argentina and Go Brazil time for me.. Speaking of Brazil, I heard this morning on the BBC that Pele has been transferred into palliative care owing to terminal bowel cancer.

You know, it probably IS best for the planet that these people aren't having more kids...
