...problem is that I can't rub this in, because she won't acknowledge it. I forward her every article about the car's problems, but she keeps saying, "It's fine!" as if this were some kind of Salem witch trial for liberals. Even though Toyota's website says to immediately remove the driver's-side floor mat because the accelerator can get stuck, she won't do it. In a car we drive our baby in. This is a woman who won't give our son nonorganic blueberries...
...lost fortunes in the downturn have probably thought about at one point or another: they allegedly abducted their financial adviser and locked him in a cellar for days, demanding he help them get their money back.

They dislike civilian trials for those suspects - 57% want the Christmas Day suspect tried in a military court, vs. 42% for a civilian trial, according to the CNN poll. And 55% want Guantánamo to stay open, while 32% want it closed, according to a CBS poll. A surprising 51% of people surveyed in January said it was necessary to give up some civil liberties to make the country safer from terrorism...
