RIP.
I’m sure Biden will make some hysterically ghoulish remark about all this.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!

It’s right out of “A Tale of Two Cities” - some peasant got run over by a nobleman’s coach and the nobleman flung out some coins and went along his way.
It was ‘the worst of times’ for this guy, to be sure. ;)
What did the victim know and when did he know it?

Thanks. I appreciate your explanation. I’m sorry if I came across as a wee bit snippy.
Yeah, I saw all the interpretations, but decided they needed to figure it out for themselves.
True ‘dat.

A Bernalillo County Sheriff's deputy escorting Vice President Joe Biden's motorcade was hit this afternoon at Gibson and Carlisle. Police say a woman drove around two police units blocking the intersection and hit a car driven by a sergeant with BCSO.The link is also privvy to three exclusive images:
Nevermind.
The article concludes with the noted historical ABQ danger in such situations. Happens all the time. Carry on...
According to an anonymous source, mind control drugs are part and parcel of the new “swine flu” vaccine.
Or, if you drunkenly crash your car into a barricade in the middle of the night, claim you were "on my way to a vote", just like Uncle Teddy once told you.
