Anybody know the next day I’ll be able to wake up and not be horribly embarrassed by yet another bizarro-world plot unfolding in DC? I’ve already got my fill of embarrassment coming out of my own damn state (WI.)

Gas taxes have been out-paced by inflation, and hindered by hybrids, fuel efficient vehicles, and Elon Musk. The money is there, but not to an extent that it can fix the issues by itself anymore.

Wisconsinite here. This is exactly the set of midwestern states. Anything west of Minnesota to south of Iowa is great plains and beyond. South/east of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio is some combination of Missouri valley, Appalacia, and “not the midwest.”

That map looks familiar. Where have I seen it before? Oh yeah I remember now.....

Damn you beat me. Came here to suggest him or Winterkorn.

Man I sure am glad we’ve got that whole separation of church and state thing.....

My house is occupied by me, my wife, a kid and a 50lb dog. In the garage there is a VW Golf Sportwagen, and a new Mini Clubman S. They are both plenty big for anything and everything i’ve needed to accomplish.

This was a great read to start my friday. Thanks for the AM chuckle dude!

This makes me incredibly sad. My poor 2010 Golf is undoubtedly in that lot somewhere. I miss the fun to drive with a side of ~54mpg on my daily commute. I’d planned to keep it for another 10 years too. Might have considered keeping it if VW didn’t make it financially irresponsible to not sell it back.

I got you guys covered....popped up on my FB feed moments ago...

Grow hops! They’re a rather attractive and very fast growing vine. And they help get rid of the mites that can kill off bees.

Wifey doesn’t always do well eating wheat so we have these pretzels around too. And I agree, they’re way better.

You cannot have herd immunity protecting those with allergies and complications if the herd isn’t immune. You really want to play the probabilities game with your kid’s life?

TIL: You could get a current model year crossover with a manual. Who the hell would have thought?! But it was victim of every manufacturer’s “put a stick in the base-ass base model and walk away” philosophy. Dammit.

Dear Wisconsin “lawmakers” -

Stick-on “vents.” You know, to “cool” your “engine” better!

Resign? Recuse? How about plan C. Put him on the rocket we’re going to launch into the sun with all of his russian slurping buddies.
