"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

Near Death Experience

by Lee

So I’m driving home for lunch as I do every day.  It’s raining, cold, and wet here today.  I’m driving along at the speed limit when all of a sudden my car lurches forward.  My cruise control decided to engage even though it was turned off.  I popped the car in neutral and coasted to the shoulder.  The engine was revving like crazy, as was my heart, which was about 240 bpm.  I turned the car off, waited a few seconds, and turned it back on again.  Everything seemed fine, so I continued home.  As I pulled into my apartment I felt the cruise control kick in again.  So I won’t be going back to work, I’ll be taking the damn car into the shop.

Just what I wanted to piss away $1,000 on right before Christmas.  Fuck.
