| Infinti EX35 embodies the next wave in crossovers
The Pacific Coast Highway is one of the nation's most spectacular drives, curving gracefully along cliffs that drop precipitously toward rocky beaches laced with the foam of thunderous breakers. Focusing on the road can be a challenge for visiting drivers, particularly when passing the multi-level manses of Malibu. Should you look up, down or straight ahead? Since this is not a divided highway, it's best to keep your eyes on the road as much as possible. Driving south from Point Mugu, I happened across a head-on collision that crushed the fronts of both cars. Ambulances were en route. I have no idea whether the unfortunate drivers were tourists, but it was easy to see how the mishap could happen amid such awesome visual distraction. .
Concentration camps in America: The consequences of 40 years of fear
If you type the phrase "concentration camps" into your Internet search engine, you will find page after page of references to martial law and the construction of concentration camps in the United States on behalf of the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A close examination reveals that many of these references lack sufficient facts to support their conclusions; however, taken as a whole, there is an abundance of factual information showing an alarming trend in the deployment of federal and military forces to restrain and detain American citizens. Among the Internet sites are those listing between 600 and 800 locations in the United States where the government is establishing "concentration camps." Many of these are former or active military bases; however, several provide detailed information about their location and improvements, including maps, videos, and satellite photographs.

Religious bigotry factor in politics
In South Carolina, the conservatives couldn't decide whether it was better to vote their religion or their politics, giving McCain the win.Florida came up. The press had anointed McCain the man, a winner, a hero. Giuliani, who expected to come into Florida as the press's favorite child, had now been eclipsed by McCain. He was now "the loser," who miscalculated. Even though Huckabee got less than half the votes of Romney, if Romney could have just picked up 37 percent of Huckabee's voters, he would have beaten McCain. Remember the surveys which found that about half of Protestants had an unfavorable view of Mormons, and Huckabee already had shown a talent for exploiting this bigotry.On Super Tuesday, West Virginia was reported early. Romney won the popular vote, but didn't get enough to take the state by primary rule.McCain and Huckabee's campaigns huddled behind closed doors and McCain threw his voters over to Huckabee, giving him the state.Why? Because they both despise Romney.
