Driving Lessons
Sadly enough, the first American journalist has died in Iraq. Why do I say "died" instead of "was killed"? Because he died "in a Humvee accident." What? What's that now? CAN'T OUR MILITARY DRIVE, FLY OR SHOOT ANYMORE? Not to trivialize the death or stress of war but it seems like every damn soldier who dies dies in a helecopter crash, vehicle accident, or in friendly fire. Christ, we're even shooting anti-aircraft missiles at allied planes! Ugh. It's really, really, sad that journalists (even conservative ones) are being killed by this war. But a Humvee accident? What, driver's ed doesn't teach desert driving any more?
