I will ignore both the shockingly bad grammar in the telecast graphics as well as the multi-level ignorance re: armored vehicles and simply observe:

A:  Being the spouse of the head of Jelly Bellys seems to come with some coin.

B:  Don't play with tanks!

Best,

A tragic accident.
Any time is a good time for pie.

There's a joke in there about literally turning a belly to jelly but I ain't making it...
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

The whole thing falls a little flat to me.

Yeah, I went there. If you're dumb enough to ride on the outside of a tank, and with your back facing forward, and you're going down a hill...hello, Physics calling...it's indeed a tragedy, but one that was very easily avoided with a dab of common sense.

"Drugs and alcohol do not appear to have been a factor in the accident, a CHP official said."
Either they were a factor, or they were not a factor. To say they "do not appear to have been a factor" suggest a lack of certainty on the part of the official.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
