Writers hang around with shady characters. These stories reflect the irony and variety of situations that exist in this bizarre world. It seems that weekly, the bar is raised on the outrage society accepts. Anything goes. Shock disappears faster than an ice cube in the heat. Irony is woven in the fabric of every day conversation as much as wise ass remarks. Being irked by people, and politics comes as regularly as the sun rising and setting. Irony runs rampant.
