Slow Saturday Special: Helicopters Shot Down Over Hamptons

"After receiving tens of thousands of complaints about noise from planes and helicopters shuttling the rich and famous into the Hamptons, an eastern Long Island town has passed new laws aimed at curtailing the cacophony.... The battle for the skies above the Hamptons is headed to a courtroom. A group representing helicopter operators has sued, claiming new laws restricting flights at East Hampton’s town airport are unconstitutional. The town enacted the laws last week to address tens of thousands of complaints it has received about noise from planes and helicopters shuttling the rich and famous into the Hamptons, particularly during the summer."

Also see:

"illegal immigrants, who mow the lawns, trim the hedges, clean the swimming pools, park the cars, serve the hors d'oeuvres, tidy up the mansions, and do many of the other things that make life so enjoyable for the rich."

Sort of explains why the immigration system is in the shape it is, doesn't it?
