Exclusive: Chuck Norris rallies for law to reduce serial litigants’ frivolous lawsuits

Which leads one to wonder whether Chuck Norris will call up fellow scholar Ted Nugent and discuss their position on this or maybe just the Bowflex:
World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah and author Jerome Corsi have finally made good on their threats and sued Esquire for a satirical article that claimed that they were no longer members of the so-called ‘birther’ movement…
…the suit calls Corsi a “world renowned author” and says WND “competes nationally and internationally” with Esquire.
Yes, they truly compete. Many are the times Americans debate over buying a copy of Esquire versus opening their uncle’s forwarded emails about what recently found Kenyan birth certificates show. Clearly there’s no frivolity here.
