Quick Facts - Theatre of the Absurd Edition

In 2008, the city of San Francisco planned to paint their bike lanes to add an additional layer of safety for their bike riders.  This plan has been delayed for four years because of a lawsuit filed by a local resident claiming bike lanes cause pollution.  Huh?

A federal judge in Boston has decided that the Massachusetts Department of Corrections must provide sex change surgery for a male inmate who wants to become a woman.  The inmate is serving a life sentence for murder. Judge Mark L. Wolf says that denying the inmate the surgery he wants would be cruel and unusual punishment because the inmate is so miserable living as a man.  Note to Judge Wolf: He's supposed to be miserable--he's in prison for murder!
