The Freeway to Serfdom
"One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license." - P.J. O'Rourke

'Kart Vader'
CTV.ca | Que. police trying to nab speeding 'Kart Vader'
"Calling himself "Kart Vader," the driver flies down streets and freeways at night at up to 160 kilometres an hour, sometimes barely missing other vehicles or pedestrians.
"We've stopped counting traffic violations, there are too many; red lights, stop signs, pedestrians in danger, reckless driving," says Jean Mainguy of the Quebec City Police."
After generating the requisite buzz, CTV helpfully provides a direct link.
"A warning on the website's front page reads: "This first edition of a long series has been made for personal entertainment only. Do not attempt any of these stunts, as they were performed by trained professionals."
Those who choose to hit "Decline" on Kart Vader's website are taken to a page for a diaper manufacturer."
Anyone doing Christmas shopping for me should seriously consider a copy of Vader's exploits on the streets of Quebec City.
Here are some fun screen shots:
Very Roninesque.
How to become roadkill.
Tribute to Monaco.
Ride on, Vader.
