Last week the House Judiciary Committee passed H.R. 180, the National Blue Alert Act of 2013.

A bus driver in Bartow, Florida has been charged with false imprisonment, child abuse, and neglect after pulling over and encouraging two students to fight in her own front yard.

We rag on the Sunshine State quite a bit because it seems to be America's capital for bath salt-induced vehicular mayhem and other forms of bizarre criminal behavior. But the dedicated public servants in the Florida Legislature have just done a really good turn: they've criminalized slow driving.

A 90-year old man was out grocery shopping when he fell. He was in pain, but store staff helped him get to his car so he could drive home. Once he got home, he realized he couldn't get out of his car and the battery died. He lived in the car, without water, for four days.

Remember that horrific "custom" Monster Energy-themed Mazda 626 that popped up on Craigslist a few weeks ago? Of course you do. You can't un-see stuff like that. We were quick to dogpile on that car because of its hideous looks, but it turns out there's kind of a sad and touching story there.

A good rule of thumb for car tuning, and life in general, is that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something. This "completely custom" Mazda is proof of this rule. It's also proof that Monster Energy drinks will destroy your brain eventually.

In a refreshing change of pace from the clichéd burning bush, an entity claiming to be God set her Scion TC on fire. The woman/self-identified deity then proceeded to sit down in the middle of US-92. Also pertinent: there were two dogs in the car and experts suggest this woman probably isn't God.

A Florida woman who celebrated her 21st birthday last week by going out with a man she met through a series of texts ended up getting carjacked by her date following a romantic walk on the beach.

Florida, everyone's favorite state that just sorta hangs there off the rest of the US, is about to get a whole lot more icky. More than it already is, I mean. It's already a bit icky. Maybe it's the humidity.

All-wheel-drive means you can safely drive however you want in any kind of weather conditions, right? Right? No?
