Dear smokinggundotcom,

You people are fucking hilarious. To wit: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1031062reno1.html

A very serious removal from reality. Yes? Yes. If I get all craaazy drunk tomorrow, is it cool if I have my six-year-old niece drive for me? She's smart. Crazy smart! Smart enough to be my new driver.

This guy set precedent by using his seven-year-old boy as a designated driver. Child endangerment? My ass! That child is learning valuable lessons. Like how to drive his drunk father-- or any fucking person you could relate to this sense of abandonment of the self-- around. This boy probably did a better job! Did he have the proper training? Children should learn to drive cars-- tie ties, pour martinis, and discuss anything. Seriously! If only we could achieve this minimal goal without the repurcussions of ill-doing (or ill-seeming, in any event). Alas. It is not to be. Here's to you, good son.

Terrific,
The D.L.

but this is the very thing that sets us apart from europeans. we shelter our children from reality, all the while feeding them a caricature of the world through media and entertainment. god bless america the secular state!
