  1. Ike not inspired by the Autobahn on Interstate Highway System: 50th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    According to Bill Bryson's "Made In America: An Informal History ot the English Language in the United States", Ike was not inspired by the Autobahn. Actually, Hitler decided to build the Autobahn after learning about the United States' transcontinental highways being built during the 20s and 30s. Eisenhower's most likely basis for the Interstate system was his experience leading a military convoy across the country during World War I.

  2. Are you all deaf and blind!?! on Search and Seizure at the Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Thanks to the "convenient" subtitles in the video on Mr. Hiibel's site we're led to believe the officer asks, "How'd you get home yesterday?". Don't look at the video and listen closely. The officer really says, "How much alcohol have you had to drink?" Why did he ask that? Because besides suspicion of domestic battery the officer was also investigating a DUI and/or public intoxication. I'd be willing to be that Hiibel was driving and pulled over after seeing a cop car. He stood on the passenger side and had his daughter sit in the driver's seat to try and fool the officer into thinking she was the driver. Obviously it worked! Hey Hiibel, thanks for wasting the taxpayer's money! I can't believe this is going to the Supreme Court.
