Porn Valley- The Grand Vizier called this morning apologizing to say that with all the excitement of the Max Hardcore/Ira Isaacs trials this and last week, he plum forgot about the Ducati lawsuit against Skeeter Kerkove. The Vizier will update his report, but for now says Skeeter settled with Ducati, avoiding facing trial at the last minute. A trial date had been scheduled for Tuesday of this past week.

“It was a confidential settlement,” says The Vizier. “Word also on the street is that Ducati’s hired new directors and is shooting up a storm.”
