alligator lizards in the air....

in the air....

I read this story in the News-Press yesterday and thought it was an April Fools joke..but it wasn't... last week the News-Press screwed up a story about two of its own writers who were involved in an accident on the Chumash Casino Highway of Death aka 154...it seems that the N-P guys plus a friend were hit head on by a drunk driver..one of the guys (the friend) got killed while the other guys were injured...I won't go into details as it's been covered elsewhere, but while the N-P editorials are crying about how unsafe Santa Barbara is, they never mention the toll drunk drivers take on all of us..that's because they have friends like Firestone who own breweries and wineries..what a useless occupation..making beer! and look they got happy beers and designer beers now! people drink and get drunk and look stupid, but they keep doing it..and driving and killing others who ARE NOT DRINKING WHILE DRIVING!!! drunk drivers should be treated like criminals..irresponsible criminals.

and this story was a kind of giggly response to a drunk driver...a driver who happened to have an iguana in his car..and that was the focus of the story!! it seems they were more concerned about the lizard than the guy who died!!! according to the story, One of the guys who was injured is a friend of #69 Julia from the Animal Rescue Team and she happened to rescue the iguana and now brings it to visit her friend in the hospital! I tell ya, if I got hit by a drunk driver and someone brought me his dog to play with, I'd kill the fucking dog!! it's like she's saying "looky, this is the iguana that was in the car that killed your friend..isn't he cute??

and this confirms my disgust at the spineless Republicans who enable this type of behavior as "good business practices"...

There are victims of drunken driving. And, according to one Montana legislator, there are victims of drunken driving laws. While speaking out against a proposed bill that would make DUI laws more strict for repeat offenders, state Rep. Alan Hale, R–Basin, said drunken driving regulations hurt local businesses and are "destroying a way of life." "These DUI laws are not doing our small businesses in our state any good at all. They are destroying them," he said in a speech on the state House floor. "They are destroying a way of life that has been in Montana for years and years." the guy owns a bar and has obvious signs of alcohol abuse...or overuse....unbelievable...dude check into a rehab unit..maybe #69 could send him the iguana... ..this chick is goofy beyond my hottest dreams!!
