dog…they were fixing that road minutes after we bombed it with B-52s. We could never cut it off.

I thought we bombed the crap out of that road. Looks like they got it fixed.

Guv’nor Butch says we need $250 million more, just to maintain Idaho’s roads. But due to the economic downturn, people are in NO mood for higher taxes.

Perhaps if we can get some of that economic stimulus money, we could spend a couple mil. on a one-time expense – a buttload of “SLOPPY ROAD – DRIVE SLOWLY” signs, and post ’em all over the state! They’d prolly last for 20 years!

The all-American version of this is the ‘closed captioning’ provided by television channels. It is often sloppy, but often times ironically so when a couple of words come together that accidentally have a reverse meaning.

Sometimes these gaffs are the best part of television since I rarely find ‘corporate propaganda’ viewing a worthwhile endeavor. But it is useful to tune in once in a while to find out what the masses are being told to believe.
