I once put one on the bottom at least 400 feet from shore accidently. It's not that hard.

Of course, I was going through ice . . .

I know someone who did this. Terrible snowstorm. Backwoods Michigan. All of sudden, by the sound of cracking ice, the driver realized she was on a lake. And then partially in a lake.

Incidentally, I know of three other people who have driven their cars into a body of water.

From the passenger's seat?

I probably should have read the article.

I'm lazy.

While not a causal connection, I submit that our actions in Iraq have sped up the revolutionary process in Arab world.

From the Economist:

"Anxiety is turning to paranoia about jobs. Take a deep breath: most Americans have rarely had it better."

Bilmore, tell me I'm whiffing, because you really can't be that much of a misinformed ass.

He wasn't trying to be accurate. He was just having a little fun and warming his fingers up for the election campaign. We can look for lots of snappy posts just like political ads -- and about as accurate.
