"There’s been a literal and physical punching."

Top satire at ricochet by John Gabriel, The Mean Streets of Mackinac Island written in the style of 40's detective pulp, Dixon Hill if you're familiar with the STNG story line. John let's you know it's a joke by the title, by the first sentence and by hilariously incongruent photographs. True story: John Yob, aid to Rand Paul claims Rich Beeson, deputy campaign manager for Marco Rubio punched him at a Republican conference at (fairyland) Mackinac Island. Facts are clouded because parties were drunk.

If you're interested, and who isn't? [yob, beeson, mackinac]

It does look like a nice hotel for a weekend if you can take a level of saccharine so aching your teeth are set on edge. John Gabriel's tale is a hard-bitten detective short story with Disneyland pictures and a lingering scent of cotton candy.
