TOYOTA RECALL: It’s not about the car.

So let’s set the record straight about how a perfectly normal Toyota, or any other car, truck, or SUV, can accelerate wildly “out of control” with an even reasonably competent driver behind the wheel. Can’t happen. Period. End of story.

Before the ink dried on breathless press reports, plaintiff lawyers were working overtime to empty Toyota’s colossal corporate coffers. When you combine our culture of victimization, the vilification of corporations, and a big payoff, the result is inevitable.

It's about power. I blame the Obama administration.
