Salamander Xing!!!!!

Post by lonewolf »

Your federal tax dollars at work! $150K for a salamander crossing! I hope they get the sign right so the salamanders know where to cross the road! Of course, since its also for reptiles & small mammals, they will need a multi-lingual sign.

In keeping with the music theme...Salamander Crossing was also a bluegrass band:

Yes, but did they build them $150K under-road crossing tunnels?

Don't worry, our grandchildren will still be paying for it.


Did you hear about the new Obama Happy Meal?

HAHA! This post reminds me of a few years back when they were having problems with turtles crossing the road on the 522 bypass in Mt. Union. There were so many turtles getting ran over that they built "Turtle Fences" to keep them off the road.

Yeah. The turtle thing was pretty sad. It sucked to see so many of them getting run over. I am a big fan of the fences. I'm all for progress, but it is sad when homes/habitats are destroyed, even if they do belong to little reptiles.

You order whatever you want and the next person in line pays for it.
Did you hear about the George W Bush Happy Meal?
It nearly destroyed McDonald's a year and a half ago, but nobody remembers.

Did you hear about the Dick Cheney Happy Meal?
It costs a hundred billion dollars, but you don't need congressional approval.

Did you hear about the Karl Rove Happy Meal?
Yes, Dark Lord, we hear and obey.

Did you hear about the Rush Limbaugh Happy Meal?
It's a hotdog they only serve to prepubescent boys in the Dominican Republic.

Did you hear about the Glenn Beck Happy Meal?
The toy that comes with it is a used-up douchebag.

Did you hear about the Sarah Palin Happy Meal?
Tha whuuuuuuuut?

And finally,
Did you hear about the Ann Coulter Happy Meal?
It's a single, greasy, cold, dried-out french-fry, served in a bitter sauce. It comes with a toy, but it can ONLY come with a toy.

Thanks, I'm here all week.--->JMS
