Drunk driving is deadly and stupid.  Here is a case where an intoxicated 28-year-old plowed into a Sunday bike race along a highway near the United States-Mexico border.  His stupid mistake killed 1 and injured 10 others. A city official snapped a quick photo just as the car slammed into the racers and you can see bicyclists and their bikes being tossed into the air by the collision.

The driver, Juan Campos, has been charged with the killing of Alejandro Alvarez, who was 37.

Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes into the 34-kilometer (21 mile) race Sunday along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.

I was searching around to read responses about Barack Obama’s huge self-written speech when I stumbled on one man’s rant. The speech in itself is interesting, the fact that Obama wrote it himself makes it better. It is particularly long but well worth the watch. Obama went against the trend of just denouncing bad publicity by speaking out against something that means something to him.

The other blogger seems to think that this speech has put Obama in a bad position for his campaign. But, I think otherwise, this from-the-heart speech will probably in the end help him in his campaign. All Americans want is the truth, and by Obama speaking out on these issues instead of slandering Clinton he just made himself more appealing.

Although Skeet Skeet is right, that was a ballsy move.
