*shakes head* dickhead. Unsurprisingly the original story is from the Daily Mail lol.

I was pleasantly surprised when reading the comments after the story (on the original Mail site) how little anti-Islamic vitriol there was. Usually their regular contributors are more fired up than that :P

Perhaps an effective countermeasure would be to set up an emergency atheist hotline. Then, if a driver starts praying, a freethinking passenger could call the hotline and have a loud, one-sided chat about evolution.
Any takers?

She started young, too. She killed her brother with a shotgun when she was only 19. That incident was swept under the carpet. I guess she figured she'd get away with it again.

Yeah, isn't that weird. AND she smacked some woman in the head over a booster seat, and was suspected in an attempted mail bombing...

Any one of those things by themselves gives me reason to think wacko. I hope I didn't hurt her feelings.
