•In stranger emigration news, NYT also reports today that laws restricting where sex offenders can live are so restrictive they’ve had the “perverse” effect of creating a shantytown under a bridge in Miami where seventy sex offenders live. I hope children don’t wander down there.
•And a WSJ cover article today notes the war between a smalltown mayor and the participants in an annual Moon over Amtrak event held at the local traintracks by pants-dropping revelers. Are traditionalists pro-mooning if it’s been going on since 1979? I think libertarians have to be. The real solution, of course: abolish Amtrak.
If the mayor insists on stopping Moon over Amtrak, maybe they should relocate it to the bridge where the sex offenders are. Synergy!

Oh, speaking of immigrants, did you catch my ten second-long sound bite on the ten o’clock news broadcast by Ch. 9 on Wednesday? I realize the answer is probably “no,” but humor me. It’s probably the last time I’ll be a participant in a segment that leads a network newscast.

Speaking of alcohol stories, here’s one reminiscent of _Wind in the Willows_:

I’m insulted. It was a Pogues-Dubliners collaboration!
BTW, Michael Evanchik dragooned me into an impromptu pub crawl after this month’s Lolita Bar debate, which culminated in our ejection from a bar by an Irish bartender/waitress.
More on that later.
