| 1 dead after car hits truck carrying military munitions |
| 2003-12-11 |
| EFL One woman was killed Wednesday night after the SUV she was driving crossed the median of Florida’s Turnpike west of Orlando and hit a truck carrying munitions for the military, setting off a large explosion, officials said. ‘After the SUV she was driving crossed the median’: Um, why is it that the SUV drove across the median? I was not aware that SUVs had the ability to drive themselves. The driver of the truck carrying the munitions escaped harm, Miller said, despite the crash near Clermont that exploded the rig’s gas tank and set off three containers of blasting caps. |

| #5 Wow--evil military munitions. Evil gas-guzzling SUV. Innocent "minority" victim. And all in Florida, where Bush "stole" the election. I see TV Movie of the Week written all over this! |

| #3 Amazingly, here is yet another in today's USA Today: "Drivers are getting more protection along many of the nation's highways. That's because states are installing taller concrete highway barriers to withstand large trucks and SUVs, which can jump the old barriers and crash into oncoming traffic." (Emphasis mine.) Now they can jump, too. |

| #1 You got that right Dragon Fly. It's little things like that that really show how f*cked up (oops pulled a Kerry) our media is. |
