The neighbor paid a private company to asphalt the road in front of her house (illegal) and now she's not allowing the garbage truck to drive on it to pick up garbage from the one house past hers. Like, not just while it sets...forever, to prevent damage. Drama ensues.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.
