New York's Finest
I don't think I can blame this bit of lunacy on Mikey, although maybe it's another in the increasingly long line of stupid tickets being written to bring cash to the city coffers. Police gave a Queens woman 3 tickets for having broken headlights. What's wrong with that, you say? Well, it wasn't just the headlights that were broken - the entire car was totaled. The woman was waiting for the insurance adjuster to come by to assess the damage.

Bloomberg would fine bodies in the cemetery for loitering if he wasn't worried about getting their votes for re-election.

Don't give him any ideas.

That's okay. We had a report of a fellow being issued a ticket here in Seattle for forgetting to turn off his headlights when he parked his car.

Oh, that's nothing, darlin'. My husband told me about the ticket a pregnant woman got for sitting on subway steps ("obstruction")! I TinyURL'ed the Newsday article for you; check out

Oh, I know. I called Mikey out on that one a couple of days earlier. I don't know, you think it's too subtle that I don't like him?
