VETO ISSUES RETRACTION, HALF-HEARTED APOLOGY TO ARCH NEMESIS URQUHART... GOES UNDERGROUND IN PREPARATION FOR BIG MONDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN

Veto has retracted his most recent posting about his arch nemesis Urquhart. Said his spokesman, confidant, and part time legal consultant RJ Pinkerton: "We begged Veto for days to tone it down, to show some mercy. He was just so angry, so foul, so perverse in his accusations... I don't know any right minded person who would print something like that."

Pinkerton then paused for a breath, sipped from his morning cup of gin, and scratched the last thin patch of hair on his splotchy head. "Sweet God almighty," he went on, "doesn't he know there are women and children who read this blog?"

Veto himself has refused comment and is not responding to phone calls or text messages. One report has him holed up in a pool hall on the south side of town, practicing around the clock in preparation for his big Monday night showdown with Urquhart. He is said to be sleeping in three hour stretches on a cot in the back room. The lighting is bad, the food is greasy, and the whole place reeks terribly of cigarette smoke and stale urine.

Said one witness, who claims to have spotted Veto by his green tennis shoes and gray top hot, "I'm pretty sure it was him alright. He was in the back corner, practicing by himself for hours. I tried to strike up a game with him, but communication proved to be a problem. He was bleary eyed, crazed almost. He just kept practicing the same shot over and over, all the while mumbling incoherent gibberish about some son of a bitch named Urquhart."

"Its true," confirmed a cocktail waitress named Dusty, "Veto has been here for 3 days now. He claims he is practicing a special trick shot that will assure him victory over some guy named Urquhart on Monday night. He's a strange one that Veto... doesn't seem entirely right in the head to me."
