Has Anyone Read About Ford CEO Keeping Our President From Getting Blown Up?

[In the OOOPS, Found It Department: Ford Motor CEO Saves Bush From Setting Himself on Fire And finally the CEO of Ford Motor Company is being credited with literally saving President Bush's life. Alan Mulally said the president almost plugged an electrical cord into the hydrogen tank of a special Ford hybrid vehicle at the White House last week. Mulally said he violated protocol and grabbed the president"s arm to prevent Bush from setting himself on fire.] Idiot. And no, I'll leave you to wonder if I mean Bush for trying something so stupid or Ford's CEO for.. well... taking care of a large problem wrapped up in a very tiny mind and soul.

I caught just a part of this story on Democracy Now today, yet it's not in their show headlines. I wrote briefly about Bush's 3-20-07 trip to Ford for a photo op with a hybrid Ford Escape (and god nows we need to escape from the Bushiess) documented here.

But nowhere do I see the story referenced about Ford's CEO having to jump in before Bush did something assinine (which he seems to do every second of every day) like trying to insert an electrical hose into a hydrogen only conduit, which would have resulted in a healthy-sized B-O-O-M!

If anyone knows of a link, please give a shout.

PSA: Spring Ahead...

Uh... you need to change your clocks to reflect this far-earlier-than-normal Daylight Savings Time arrival at 2 AM Sunday (presented to us by a Congress that insists:

1) global warming is a myth,
2) that the supply of fossil fuels is infinite as long as we
a) keep attacking and "liberating" oil producing nations and
b) pretend that dinosaurs live concurrently with humans and
3) won't do anything more useful to address the energy crisis than fuck around with the time while they drive their honkingly huge SUVs around with nobody else in the vehicle)

This public service announcement (PSA) is brought to you by the same person who tells you that the only mankind-contemporaneous dinosaurs among us are in Congress.
