General Motors has a better idea. They are developing driverless cars. For those who have been bullied by human-driven cars in the passing lane of a road that merges in 500 feet, this will be as good as a ban on pompous political ads.

GM says testing will begin in 2015. I wish they’d bump it up. It took me three tries to Parallel Park the other day. I finally gave up. The Low Fuel light came on, my neck muscles cramped, and a tethered group of pre-schoolers on a daily walk stopped to point and snicker.

The next twelve months may have more hidden twists and turns than a presidential hopeful’s victory speech. Who to trust? Only one who has never failed on a promise. Only one whose word has never been broken. Only one who has already looked around every bend of a common road and pledged allegiance to its every traveler.

“Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence . . . .” (Proverbs 3:25-26 NIV).
