My friend Bryan Olive — whom you might know as the customer service manager of the Ayn Rand Institute — has been fighting an Orwellian battle against the Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau over a parking ticket issued for a car he no longer owns. Finally, after many inane go-rounds with bureaucrats and after the government refused to consider his definitive proof that he did not own the car when the ticket was issued, he took his case to a local reporter. The result is this excellent story.

As one commenter said, “If the DMV, which is a government agency, can’t handle title transfers, how the heck will government handle the Obama health care system? Scary times!”

Indeed.
