In the US green means go, yellow means go faster and red means you didn't go fast enough! But in the case of unstoppable Toyotas I am still thinking that the software problem has more to do with the driver's brain and less to do with the vehicle.

Obama may finally be figuring out how DC works. But I doubt he'll be taking any trips for a while. Might even cut into his golf schedule. For shame!

You have to wonder what an actor could be getting up to that is so important that he can't spend more than 15 hours in Japan. He'll spend more than that going back and forth.

Typical of the Chinese government. They don't get their own way so they pitch a hissy fit. Guess they learned it from NK?

sushi, Fox is as much a news channel as CNN or ABC. Every news channel has a point of view. None are "unbiased." Unbiased news is right up there with military intellegence or goevernment efficiency.
Obama has finally realized that, contrary to what Reid and Pelosi are telling him, he can't have it all his own way. Too bad he didn't figure this out ten months ago.

Not the retiring type, is he? I guess he's young enough for some prison time.

That revolt would last a few hours maybe. What do these loons think they are going to accomplish?

Kim Jong Il looking for brandy, I'll bet. It's the freaking huge sunglasses and the sickly looking face that are the giveaway. Nasty knife to threaten with too. Guess he couldn't get a nuke under the hoodie.
I hope they catch the guy. I can only imagine what the clerk was thinking looking at that creep and that knife. At least nobody was hurt.

That place will certainly suck the cash right out of your bank account. But the life blood? Dunno. Maybe it has something to do with the type of people it attracts.

I suppose he would have been safer in Afghanistan then. But obviously the Pakistanis don't take orders from Karzai.

This falling off the platform bit is really getting old. Seems like it never used to happen ten years ago. I wonder what is going on.

What I would like to see is a paper that details every incident of unintended acceleration, the investigation and the result. The rest is just speculation. It would appear that both Sikes and Toyota have some explaining to do.

Maybe, but mob rule is not a good option for either fowl.
Elections would be an option. How about that?

If there was a reasonable bill on the table it would stand a chance of passage. If the democrats can't even get the bill through the representatives it would seem that the bill is far too extreme.

Wherever Islam is dominant ignorance, repression and barbarity are the norm. Good thing Europe is waking up to this problem.

Tough to say what happened. I've seen a few software glitches that were tough to re-create but it's not impossible to reproduce a software problem. But, between the money and sensationalism involved I doubt the engineers are going to get a lot of good data or time to work on it. I still can't understand why a CHP officer couldn't figure out how to stop a "runaway" car. It's not that difficult. Who can say?

In reality it is neither. Israel was attacked and took the territory in question in a bona-fide war. There is nothing to be done but whine about that. As a counterpoint; if the Arab attack had succeeded and Israel ended up with no territory left, even though the mandate for their existance had come from the UN General Assembly in 1947, what would (or could) the UN have done? I suggest nothing.
On the other hand if Israel wants peace with the Palistinians then building more settlements is counterproductive. The conclusion is obvious. Is anybody really surprised?
