Reader Nick brought this to my attention: the United States Department of Transportation YouTube channel. if you ever want to lay back in the easy chair and watch countless creepy videos of the state harping on “distracted driving,” this is the place. “Distracted driving” is an “epidemic that has taken over America,” according to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
If you run out of fascinating material on Big Guv’s ghoulish YouTube channel, go to www.distraction.gov for another fix of nursemaid politics from despotic, federal paper shufflers with saggy jowls.
Remember that the U.S. government had the time to organize and carry out an entire summit on “distracted driving.” Yet another “war” on yet another activity to which special interests and babysitter bureaucrats have paid way too much attention.
