Shoulda Jailed Her

Unfortunately, this sort of thing is becoming all too common. Half the people on the road can't drive worth a damn to begin with, and the half of us that can spend all our time dodging and trying to anticipate the next stupid move of the first half.

I was in BestBuy the other day and saw several car "radios" with in-dash navigation displays that were proudly advertising DVD-player capabilities. Last I looked, that was still illegal--at least in Texas, and apparently in Canada--but that doesn't seem to be stopping the retailers from selling them. That swooshing sound you hear is auto insurance rates climbing for the stratosphere.
