And keep burning those fossil fuels and wishing for a cancer cure

I know you wish to start out your morning with the news of some political story of stupidity or betrayal, but in even bigger news -- America, finally what you really need!

The debate over distracted drivers ramped up a notch on Thursday as Ford Motor Co. announced technology to let computers read their Twitter feeds to them while behind the wheel.

Well, at least it didn't involve bail out money...yet. And Ford was on top of why you should be glad:

"We take what people do -- they talk on the phone, they fumble with mp3 players, they look at maps. We take these activities and make them safer," he said.

Yeah, uh-huh and when drivers discover ways to view porn while driving?

We better get Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich right on that one.
