SOCIOPATHS WITH DEFECTIVE TOOLS.  Dodge recalls 242,780 Ram pickups.  A two-time recipient of government-guaranteed loans; a company that hires Marshall Mathers as a spokesman; a brand with the unofficial slogan, "if you can't dodge it, ram it"; a model design that includes an illuminated rams-head atop the radiator, well-designed to shine into the rear-view mirror of a vehicle the sociopath is tailgating.

Does it come as too big a surprise that the tie-rod assemblies are defective?
