Just covered by Imus show. 

Maybe more would have killed had they been in a van when hit by that truck.  They would have been trapped in a twisted steel coffin.

So three people had to die because the driver of the truck was "not paying attention and shuffling his paperwork", as he stated to a witness. When are we gonna learn that driving is not a casual activity that can be carried out while eating, applying makeup or nail polish, texting, watching TV, shaving, or just "shuffling paperwork"?
Prayers to the victims and their families who have now become entwined in a senseless tragedy.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

This is awful.

Prison time is justified.  People need to get the message that they are piloting a lethal weapon, not just riding on a sofa in front of TV.

Are there charges yet?  I hope that local riders show up in the hundreds for this guy's arraignment.  These things are taken way too lightly, like that woman who was killed up in Chicago when she was rear-ended by that idiot doing her nails.
