Most interesting technical aspect: thanks to modern communications and computers, a small organization is now capable of building an optical telescope with an aperture equal to the diameter of the earth.

GOP Guv Candidate and CPAC Vice Chair [Click] Investigated For Fatal Crash After Driving For Miles With Motorcycle Stuck To Car [Click] His behavior following the crash as well as after he was stopped strikes me as not inconsistent with DUI.
Alas, it will probably be quite some time before the alcohol and drug tests are done and find their ways into the newspapers. Of course, I suppose he could have had a mild stroke or a transient ischemic attack.
