THIS WEEK'S SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE

I'm all for tolerance, but this is just fucked up in so many ways, I can't begin to grasp it:

MIAMI - A Broward County courtroom will play host in the coming weeks to a procession of transgender witnesses and a defendant who received special permission to wear a dress at his trial.

While the Jerry Springer-like details have titillated bailiffs and clerks for months, the facts of the case are sobering.

A woman died because she had too much silicone injected into her buttocks in search of a fuller figure. Two men - who live as husband and wife - are charged with killing her in the course of an underground ''pumping party'' they conducted without license to practice medicine.
