Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Most of the time I think of the frugal senator with the one person employee who saves all his money for the forgotten 'children' of DOE as a nice and soft spoken dude.......today, I saw a different side.....the side that claimed most of airport road and Marine Corps Drive...bet you didn't think that little white Rocky jeep couldn't drive so fast or up so close your car could be its hood ornament if you stepped on the breaks suddenly.
Yep, MC 256 wuz speeding like a bat flying outta hell, even went on red, so assume that it wuz okay since he's a senator and all that. Me'n hubby decided to stop awhile, didn't want to be on the road at the same time with the road runner. Did think maybe he might've been in a hurry to get to GMH to look at some contract or something, whatever it was, he was trying to get there fast enough that he was willing to sacrifice safety to get there. Too bad because we always talk about speed being one of the factors when there are accidents/crashes.......sometimes I wonder if brains should also be included in those fancy red lights when you turn the car on and if the car shouldn't turn on until the brain is engaged.
Next time you get behind the wheel, Mr. Frugal Former Marine, think about tail gaiting and running red lights and speed limits.....but then, we all know there are hardly any cops around so we can pretty much do what we please.......so much for safety on our roads.
