Ah! Our NTSB would ban even the use of hands free, unless the device is built into the car. I agree about the distractions, but there are so many things that distract. Car radio, passengers' conversations, GPS, pretty girl in the car ahead.

That's just another of those giant DUHS that seem so obvious to me that I am still amazed at the stupidity of those who do such things. Seriously: wtf.

So I can eat burritos and such. But I won't talk on the phone while I drive.

I assume she did. And she is running against Mean Joe Walsh (not of James Gang tradition) who is being given a boatload of $$$$$$ by John Boehner to run in a largely Democratic district (mine). This is the guy who is being sued by his wife for a huge amount of dough for child support.

I got a chuckle when I heard Tammy Duckworth's campaign ad, with a Clash song playing in the background.

Although, to be fair, the world has gone so crazy, I'm not sure what could surprise me anymore. Our Constitution has been utterly gutted. Our Congress is worse than worthless, our President is practically MIA, and the Supreme Court is rubber-stamping the wholesale giveaway of our country to corporate interests.
What? Me? Bitter?
