You know how sometimes when you’re writing up your Articles of Piracy you wish you had access to some really snazzy buccaneering fonts–just to make it look professional, you know?

I can sort of understand this story–I mean I see Siefried and Roy as a threat too–but I really wonder about the psychiatrist:
Former professional football kicker Cole Ford, accused of firing shots into the Jungle Palace home of Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, believed the illusionists posed a threat to the world.
According to a psychiatric evaluation report, Ford came to Las Vegas about three years ago to pursue an ultimately unsuccessful lawsuit that claimed sports books exploited athletes.
While in Las Vegas, he also “went to local events to continue with his search for a reality that made sense to him,” psychiatrist Norton Roitman wrote.
I mean, what kind of psychiatrists hears that his patient is going to Las Vegas shows in search of a reality that makes sense, and lets that pass without comment?
