    honestly, the police departments are way more of a problem than commercials or movies.

    Political Correctness... As Clint Eastwood says, and I quote, "Quit being P---y's and just F-----g get over it. It's a sad time in history."

    Real life Prius car chase the other day in Los Angeles. Police chase Prius with a murder suspect in it. Murder suspect leans out the passenger window and shoots at police cars chasing him.

    High speed chase in LA traffic and in a Prius?
    I don’t know which is harder to believe....

    I wonder when ‘chase’ becomes ‘high-speed chase?’
