Jane is the name of our Tom Tom automobile navigation system. She speaks in a refined British accent, which is always amusing, especially when she mentions roundabouts, which we don’t have in Texas. We’ll miss her.
The Obama bureaucracy wants to cripple Tom Tom and similar devices. The Janes and their dynamic screens are too distracting for drivers, they say, etc., etc.
The Nanny State. Ever in search of private jobs to destroy and conveniences to eliminate. To justify the jobs of the overpaid, very-hard-to-fire bureaucrats, you see.

Oh boy… what next? I propose a cop in every car.
Don’t worry – the government will tell you where to go.
My navigational lady is named Chloë. I can’t give her up.
A cop in every car? Don’t tell ’em. They might get ideas, but only if the cop is in a union, preferably SEIU.
The government already tells me what to do. Telling me where to go wouldn’t be much of an escalation.
