My first question is, what is so difficult about lights on when raining?  In Alabama during the summer, often there are thunderstorms that pop-up every afternoon, or we experience a drought and it doesn&#8217;t rain again until December.  Anyway, the past couple of weeks, we&#8217;ve had scattered afternoon thunderstorms every day, and I meet people constantly who do not have their lights on.  I want to know why people refuse to turn on their headlights in blinding rain.  Let me tell you something, when it&#8217;s pouring, I can&#8217;t see you if you don&#8217;t have on your lights.  Also, because we are in Alabama, there are a number of cars riding around that are &#8220;painted&#8221; in nothing but gray primer.  If you are one of the people driving one of those cars, I DEFINITELY can&#8217;t see you in the rain.  There&#8217;s supposed to be a state law that says lights on when raining, but apparently they don&#8217;t enforce it.  Maybe the good ol&#8217; MPD should be waiting to pull over these people the way they go after people who are speeding.  No lights is just as hazardous as someone who is driving 20 mph over the speed limit.  And, there are SO many without lights, you&#8217;d have your pick of any asshole on the road to pullover.<br \/>\nSecondly,  Spike Lee, you suck.  When I first heard about SpikeTV, I thought of 1)  A dog, and 2)  a mohawk.  Also, when they said the first network for men, I thought, &#8220;What about the 800 variations of ESPN, Fox Sports, Discovery Wings, etc.?&#8221;  Never did I think of Spike Lee until I heard about the commotion he and his moronic cohorts had started.  You know what, Spike?  I think you are full of crap.  You needed some free publicity, and now you&#8217;ve got it.<br \/>\nThird, to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randthought.com\/archives\/2003\/06\/17\/catherine_donkers.html\">Catherine Donkers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/wkyc.com\/news\/news_fullstory.asp?id=6898\">the woman who was breast feeding her kid while she was driving<\/a>, your child should be taken away from you.  If you are that stupid, trust me, your child would benefit from being given to parents who won&#8217;t teach her to be as moronic as you and your husband obviously are.  Some people are too stupid to procreate, and you and your husband top that list!<\/p>\n<p>OK, I feel better now&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, I&#8217;ve been stockpiling things to rant about, so get ready.
