Secretary John Bryson is a terrible driver.

Saturday afternoon was just not a good day for United States Secretary of Commerce John Bryson.  Bryson was in the Los Angeles area when he was involved in not one, but two accidents within minutes.  The wrecks took place on San Gabriel Boulevard in Los Angeles county; the first wreck was in San Gabriel proper and the second was in nearby Rosemead.  Now, police are investigating Secretary of Commerce John Bryson on felony hit-and-run charges.

During the first wreck, Bryson hit a SUV stopped at a railroad crossing to wait for a train, then hit the car a second time as he pulled away. The three men in the SUV followed Bryson as he left the scene, calling police in the process.  During the second wreck, Bryson hit a car occupied by a man and woman.  The scene of the second accident is where police found Bryson, passed out in his Lexus.  He was taken to the hospital after being treated at the scene; two men from the first wreck were examined by paramedics, and the couple at the second scene complained of pain but denied treatment.

The wrecks are being examined by the LA County Sheriff’s Department and the San Gabriel Police.  Here’s my question; if he wasn’t the US Secretary of Commerce, would he be in jail now for DUI?  Police say there is no immediate indication that drugs or alcohol played a part in the wrecks, but when you hit two cars three times within minutes and the cops find you passed out in your car, well… I don’t care if it’s 5 PM on Saturday or not, you’re probably getting a DUI even if you’re just high on coffee.

These days, with increased terror threats and a general uneasiness, it’s pretty easy to get your plane escorted to an emergency landing by jet fighters.  Any sort of disturbance during an international flight is a pretty bad idea, and a flight going from Lahore, Pakistan to Manchester, England ended up with an escort from Typhoon [...]

Amanda Bynes has a history of getting wild and crazy.  She’s obviously got something wrong with her, as she can’t stop drinking like Randy Travis and smoking pot like Fiona Apple now that she’s retired from acting to become a full-time Twitter celebrity and train-wreck.  Well, Bynes is in trouble again, thanks to some very [...]

In the middle of the street in broad daylight you wouldn’t expect to see someone being hacked to death with a machete, but we’re living in strange times.  In the Woolwich suburb of London, England, two suspected Muslim terrorists hacked an active duty soldier to death on the street.  As the men hacked the soldier to [...]

Every year, when the NBA has to decide who gets the top draft pick, they turn to a series of ping pong balls, each weighted according to the odds that it will come to the top of the machine.  Obviously, it’s a strange system, but there we are.  It keeps teams from taking too hard [...]

The Doors were a distinctive band, but there were two aspects that stuck out more than others in their awesome sound.  The first was the baritone caterwaul of poetry coming from the mouth of Jim Morrison.  The other is the awesome keyboard work of Ray Manzarek.  Morrison died in 1971, but Manzarek was able to [...]

There are a lot of scary things about tornadoes.  They’re just a big, scary force of nature that cannot be reasoned with, cannot be controlled, and can rarely be predicted.  Once a tornado is on the ground, you don’t really know where it’s going to hit or how hard it is going to hit.  A [...]
