It’s a Christmas miracle! Looks like Evel and Kanye have settled their differences…

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Evel Knievel and Kanye West have worked it out.

The 69-year-old iconic motorcycle daredevil said he and West met at his Clearwater condo recently. They settled a federal lawsuit over the use of Knievel’s trademarked image in a popular West music video.

Knievel sued West and his record company last year. He took issue with a 2006 music video for the song “Touch the Sky,” in which the rapper takes on the persona of “Evel Kanyevel” and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon.

Generally speaking, I think Kanye West is a douchebag. But “Evel Kanyevel”? Gotta admit — that’s a good one.

By the way, did you notice that local television station/protector of decency WSB finally got off of its inbred, retardo, bible belt, easily offended-by-jokes-it-doesn’t-understand ass and started airing Jimmy Kimmel Live? Finally now we too in the Atlanta Metro Area can stare at our televisions not laughing at Kimmel’s jokes. So, if you’re tired of seeing repeats of Letterman, Leno, et al; tune into ABC tonight at 12:05 and start watching repeats of JKL.
