California sues car manufacturers? Is this some kind of joke? Easily the single most ridiculous thing I’ve read all day (and the day hasn’t really begun for me). state attorney-general Bill Lockyer, has this little nugget to say (amongst other things):

The impacts are already costing millions of dollars and the price tag is increasing. It is time to hold these companies responsible for their contribution to this crisis.

It’s not the car manufacturers that you’ve got to take to task. It’s yourselves. The car manufacturers did not build the California infrastructure. The highways/freeways on top of freeways. It’s the mentality of the people living there, what they’ve become used to and what you as the state the governs these things have failed to address. This is like the kid the spilt the milk pointing at anyone (and everyone else) to lay the blame.
