This is hard to watch, but it needs to be seen. And it actually has a phone number, so we can all call and tell these people what a fine job we think they are doing. My favorite part is where they actually *tape over* the license plate numbers of the trucks and the name [...]

Ok, first I have to apologize to my good friend, who is actually a witch, for using the term “witch hunt” but really, sometimes it is just the right term to use.
