Comforting

A recent "odd" news article stated:

Both were cited for drunken driving and driving while revoked. They're planning to defend themselves in court with an argument that neither had control, so neither was driving.

Miller blew a 0.16 percent blood alcohol reading on the breath test and Marzinske was at 0.09 percent, the police report said. The legal limit is .08 percent.

Miller said he takes drunken driving seriously, "but we were doing things as safe as possible."

Police clocked them going 35 mph in a 55 zone.

Marzinske acknowledged the arrest was embarrasing(sic).

"I asked my daughter right out, 'Are you embarrassed about this?'" he said. "She says, 'A little bit Dad, but it sure is funny.' So we just have fun with it. There isn't much else you can do."

It's nice to know that neither one of these idiots felt they weren't in control. I'm even more impressed that they're teaching their kids that it's funny to drive without a license and while drunk. Maybe if they have to peel their kid off a tree some night, they might lose a little humor. Can you actually believe they didn't think there was anything wrong with what they were doing? I'm guessing that back in them-there rural hills of rustic Wisconsin, telephones to call for a ride haven't been put up yet.
