Was it Letterman?

She must not have wearing a seat belt.

Sad.

Yep. I checked MSNBC, but the story wasn't there yet when I posted it. They got scooped on a story about Brokaw.

Condolences to the bereaved.

Be Well.

"The Brokaws were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane," said Brokaw in the statement. "Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic."


Bullshit. If the Brokaws were in the left lane, they were in the "fastlane". The whole "Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable" scene is ridiculous, at best. Sure, some pass on the right, but the vast majorities are caused/created from the left lane.


From the standpoint they present, the odds are WAY against them.

For what? What the hell is your point?

Or are you one of those people who are so set in their ideology you'll find ANYTHING or ANY REASON to criticize someone you view as belonging to the "left?"

to criticize someone you view as belonging to the "left?"

No..quite the opposite..I doubt anyone who profess to belong to "The Media".They can't be corrupted by an Ideaology, can they? By defenition, they present "facts" as "truth". All you have to do is swallow the bait..(which contains the hook!)

You got it in 1....that's our little A1-"No lib has EVER done anything honest, decent, Patriotic-or anything else.

American1st-
Where do you get your information about the world (outside of what you personally witness)?

For what? What the hell is your point?

they're in the fast lane and the traffic is flowing freely...until, suddenly, all hell breaks loose in the right-hand lane. OK. Not entirely logical...

WTF?

The "left lane" is the fast lane, Betel. Have You ever driven on an interstate?

Most states have laws about "Pass Left, Keep Right"...never seen one of those?

Have you ever had a mind that was not so twisted by ideology that it had an original thought?

Wear your seatbelt or die.

So, Brokaws cruising along, when a spool of cable passes him, on the right, then another car passes him, again, on the right, and they DIDN"T see the "errant" spool of wire? Was that car piloted by blind people?

I do think I understand your point, though, "American1st", complete with proof:

Tom Brokaw must be at fault because he drives in the left lane, which are all lanes to the left of a complete fucking lunatic.

Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable" scene is ridiculous, at best.

Try driving on I-94 or 96 around Detroit. They'll pass you everywhere except (on occasion) the median. I've seen many come down an on ramp on the right and pass three lanes of traffic to get to the left lane, where they have to slow down to merge.

It's called tunnel vision. When You are totally focused on the rear end of the car in front of You and ignoring the rest of the trafic. It happens more than You think.

Larry

It's called tunnel vision.

Indeed.

You know that "deep throat" was the inside informant in Watergate before "Deep Throat" was a porn flick, right?

Obviously NOT something the liberals came up with recently to smear the pitiful shits that thought they were being so clever with their wonderful new name!!!

NO BALLS ON FOREHEAD, AmericanTEABAGGER!!!!

Nope. It was evidently piloted by your average driver who thought it a good idea to fiddlefuck around with their cell phone instead of driving.

You really don't get out much, do you?

Tea Baggers Tea Baggers Tea Baggers. I think you libshits just love the sound of that term.

Damned right, we love it!!!

Just like we love every queef the Moosfart let loose with. Ditto the musing of Flush Rimjob and the Beckker Bot.

We just can't get comedy like this at ANY price. And it's all FREE!!!!

Thank you, Republican Party!!!! Your death throes are the best show in the past 100 years. May you linger long and hilariously.

It seems to fit. You bemoan the influence of the disenfranchised while taking it proudly on the chin for the billionaires who fund your "populism" while they cram every inch down your throats and make you say thank you as if it were a patriotic gesture.

(certainly not to put too fine a point on it, but it's late...)

Betelg,

Quote one thing I have written that supports your accusation. All I am an saying is that everytime you on the left type or say the word Tea Bagger I think you must have your dick in your hand while saying it. It is funny that you all seem to be laughing at your own little Tea Bag joke. You try to marginalize anyone who disagrees with the radical left wing belief system or our President and Congress. The Dems are coming up with every hairbrained way to tax the living shit out of everyone in this country and you just try to criticize the Tea Party movement as Tea Baggers as opposed to debating them. I am believer that you lose the debate when you start calling the other side names.

Betelg,

It is funny though that you call them Tea Baggers while at the same time have your own tongue far up the ass of your left wing Communist Super Hero Leader

The "left lane" is the fast lane, Betel. Have You ever driven on an interstate?

Well, this was in New York City, not rural Nebraska. Freeways in urban areas don't abide by the 'fast lane' rules. All lanes are driving lanes.

All lanes are driving lanes.

Even in urban areas I believe the leftlane is the passing lane. The middle is the cruising lane and the right lane is the slow lane/turn lane.

Quite often all three lanes become parking lanes...

True that.

Nothing more annoying than being caught in stop and go traffic on the highway. Particularly when you end stopped beside a roadsign telling you how fast you should be going.

Death throes.

Worthy to archive because it will obviously be fun a year from now to rub this dickhead's face in it.

Since it's such a low-grade dickhead, I'm not interested. It would waste a dozen keystrokes on some creep not worth the effort

Sounds like an awful accident--being thrown from your vehicle after crashing into the median railing, down onto the train tracks below.

Wear your seat belts, people. Had she done so, she would probably be alive, just some nasty cuts and bruises.

Sorry I do not believe in Seat Belts. The only thing I use them for is to rest my head when I want to fall asleep on the road. Damned things are too confining.

Twenty bucks says you've never driven in New York City.

New York City is our Rome, the taxis our Chariot Races.

"New York City is our Rome, the taxis our Chariot Races."

I've driven in both. NYC is tame by comparison: at least they have some respect for lanes.

Having said that, I've seen footage of some parts of Asia, and wouldn't even consider trying it.

Yeah, I never had a problem driving in NYC. The rules may be tough but they are generally adhered to.

The worst I've witnessed is Saudi Arabia. When half the drivers are wearing those headdresses that block out peripheral vision, you know it's going to be interesting! (And it's not like you can blame the poor driving on women, since women aren't allowed to drive in the Kingdom...)

I was in a NYC taxi one time, another taxi deliberately hit him because he didn't like the way he was trying to merge. That was the only time in my life I stiffed a cabbie on a fare, and it wasn't even his fault! But when taxi drivers are out of their taxis getting ready for a fistfight, I suddenly find traveling by foot more tolerable. As I recall I didn't even have cash or I would have at least left a few bucks on the seat or something.
