Melanie!

I was going to stop my post right there, it works for me.

Ok ok, here's what I was going to say --

I don't know all that much about the merits of Charlie's lawsuit against WPLG, but he has a very good lawyer:

Perez, 46, now plans to add a retaliation charge to his complaint, his attorney Melanie E. Damian said late Thursday.

WPLG, you screwed up with Art Carlson (horrors -- he got old!), and you're screwing up now.

If I were your counsel I would work out a quick and reasonable settlement before the fees accrue and Melanie sinks her teeth into this one.

BTW, you can read Charlie's own take on what he is doing, and WPLG's reaction over at the blog of my friend Random Pixels.
