    In this morning's news, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood states that the U.S. had to pressure Toyota to enact the recall. He accused the company of being "a little safety deaf" and resistant to change, and that it took a visit to Japan by federal officials to get the company to act on the gas-pedal problem.

    Still think this is a problem with a trigger-happy liberal media, Austin?

    Not only that, but the U.S. National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration reports that it has received about 100 complaints involving the brakes on the gas-electric hybrid Prius. This car is NOT involved in the massive recall; this is a brake problem that so far has been implicated in two accidents resulting in injuries, not a gas pedal problem.

    Toyota is now paying its dealers up to $75,000 to extend service hours and offer other goodies to try to win back customers' trust. They know now that they're in big trouble.
