JERICHO, Ark.—It was just too much, having to return to court twice on
the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don
Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and
their speed traps.
The response from cops? They shot him. Right there in court.

I give up. This is just too out there. Where do you go from here? What
possible form of satire can you do when our society has fallen to such levels
of … of … this?
And it's sad, in a way, that real life is just
too weird for satire nowadays.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
