Feds Want Reduce the Legal Limit from .08 to.05

CNN: The National Transportation Safety Board recommended on Tuesday that all 50 states adopt a blood-alcohol content (BAC) cutoff of 0.05 compared to the 0.08 standard on the books today and used by law enforcement and the courts to prosecute drunk driving.The idea for a tighter standard is part of a safety board initiative outlined in a staff report and approved by the panel to eventually eliminate drunk driving, which accounts for about a third of all road deaths in the United States.

     I don't understand politicians. If you drive drunk you're an idiot and deserve all the punishment they throw at you.  That being said lowering the legal limit is not going to reduce drunk driving incidents.  People that get in accidents and kill people while drunk aren't hovering around the .08 mark.  Reality is if you're .08 and below and you get in a crash it wasn't because you were drunk it's because you are a shitty driver.  Lowering the limit won't make anyone any safer.  It might stop people from enjoying an adult beverage while eating their primo boneless wings at Applebee's but it won't stop some red nose booze bag from driving home from the bar. 

Sergio Garcia's Collapse Was Easily The Highlight of My Weekend

     The Player's Championship lived up to the hype this weekend as the best non-major tournament on the PGA Schedule.  Whether you love Tiger or hate Tiger we can all agree it was amazing to see Sergio Garcia shit it pants when he was tied for the lead with two holes left.  Watching the co-leader of the tournament put three shots in the drink in two holes is one of the great things about golf.  When stuff like that happens it makes me feel great about myself.  It give me the illusion that if I wanted to, I could throw out my Xbox, hit the driving range, and play on tour.  What makes it even sweeter is that Sergio blamed a poor shot on Sunday on someone (Tiger Woods) pulling a club out of their bag during his backswing.  It doesn't get any more ridiculous than that.  What's next, he sucked today because the sky was too blue?  

Girl Arrested After Attempting To Flush Her Baby At School

PENN: Cherlie Lafleur, 19, was arrested after a custodian at McCaskey East High School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, discovered the body of a young baby in a trash can in the ladies restroom at the school on Tuesday.The teen reportedly first attempted to flush the child down the toilet. But when that didn’t work, she deposited the body in the trash can. 
     An autopsy has found that the baby was about 28 weeks gestation, well past the point of viability. Police have not yet determined whether the child was stillborn or alive at birth. “We can not always determine if there was a heartbeat at the time,” said the coroner. Surveillance footage at the school allowed police to track down Lafleur as the suspect. The teen has been charged with concealing the death of a child. 

     Stories like this one are the reason why the FDA approved over the counter use of Plan B for everyone 15 and older.  The only thing worse than a bunch of babies with stupid teenage parents is a trash barrel full of dead babies.  If I was in charge they would just serve school lunches with a side of plan B every day, or  maybe they could just put out a new Plan B carton of lunch milk.  At the very least schools could mail out birth control to anyone that gets below a C average. Let's face it if you get below a C in high school class you probably shouldn't be passing your genes down to another generation anyway.
