LaHood Asks For $50 Million Dollars To Start War On Social Media

We are all living in an age of networked information. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, smartphones and public internet access are making the world smaller every day.

No disagreement about distraction, however I consider Ray the original hood when it comes to forward motion of any kind. I think he would have us carrying a lantern in front of our autos to warn the horses! Please appoint someone who has at least a clue.
