...if you drive in Massachusetts, you should worry about the Old And The Incontinent.

Massachusetts is one of just three states that does not place any restrictions on elderly drivers. The results are stories like this, and this.

Natural Truth of the Day

“Right now patriotism requires more than the usual candor. It requires speaking truthfully and constructively to a president who is a man, and just a man. We hire them, we fire them, they come back for photo-ops. They're not magic.” 

~Peggy Noonan, WSJ
