Un-freaking-believable
The world has gone stark raving bonkers. (Link via Fark)
A man has been arrested and charged with driving his car on a sidewalk and nearly hitting Republican Congresswoman Katherine Harris as she stood on a street corner campaigning for re-election.
He's charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and may also be facing federal charges. Why? He did it deliberately.
He told a police lieutenant that Harris supporters were standing in the street and impeding traffic.
"I intimidated them with my car," he said, according to the police report. "I was exercising my political expression. I did not run them down, I scared them a little."
Think we can get the election over before someone gets killed?

There's nothing quite as stupid as committing aggravated assault, and then admitting it to the cops.
Frickin' idiot. Hope they spank him good.

But "I was exercising my political expression"?? WTH?? I don't like Teddy Kennedy, but I don't want to hit him with my car.
For one thing, it would total my car. And I love my car.
