So the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed during rush hour. They said on the news that there were probably 50-100 cars fell into the Mississippi river.
I guess this makes my 2hr commute today not seem so bad |

Road repairs and maintenance are funded by state governments, much like levees (hint, hint) so the funds don't come out of federal reserves. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

I didn't say anything to cupcake's post because it wasn't a blatant attempt to place blame on the administration of this country for this incident (which is what your comment did). It is just amazing to me how many people immediately turn their attention to Bush on a few issues but don't want to give him any credit for the good things happening (*cough* economy *cough*) -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
