Wow...
What if I get in a crash?
What if I'm on the road for business and there is an emergency at home?
What if I have a medical emergency and have to pull over?
What if I see a fire on the side of the road and need to report it (this has happened to me twice)?
What if I'm pulled over and searched illegally or for some reason need to call my lawyer?
What if there's a National Emergency and Mr. President is in his limo? Oh wait...they're the government, how foolish of me to think they'd be bound by the same laws as Joe Citizen.
Can't use nukes? All of a sudden they just won't go off anymore??? Oh, you mean because of international treaties and agreements...Nobody ever breaks those...
The fact is that the title of this story is how troops are coming home, but the whole part about Hobama ordering 30,000 troops to Afghanistan is ignored. And that's 30,000 troops on top of those that are already there.
Announcing something like this and slipping the "30,000 more are going to Afghanistan" part in when everyone's cheering about the troops coming back from Iraq...typical political maneuvering. What's sad is that he'll go up in popularity because 99% of people won't even know about the troops heading to Afghanistan until next week sometime.
From TFA:
"While the US has been scaling down its troop presence in Iraq it has been stepping up its military commitment to Afghanistan, with the president ordering a surge of 30,000 additional soldiers there. "
So, we're pulling our armed forces out of Iraq, just to send them to Afghanistan.
A couple of nukes and they can all come home! I'm just saying...

The majority of the population does NOT want to see this pass, yet it made it through the Senate with NO opposition?
I thought the government was for the people by the people. What a fucking joke.
Easy workaround here:
Cut the cable for the parking bake. ...?
Always leave engaged.
Take out the bulb for the brake light.
Profit!
Dude... #3... Awesome.
