Yanno, when I start out on a long road trip - let's say 8 hours long - I don't have to get .........
.... very far to know if I am headed in the right direction or the wrong direction. If the signs I see are right, I never expect to get there in less than 8 hours, but I do expect to get there eventually.

Are political roadsigns harder to read?

I don't think so.

1. It depends on if your car is full of crazed shirtail relatives
who keep grabbing the steering wheel to drive you in the ditch.

The signs might still be there but you're not on the road anymore.

7. Different opposition for different trips, I guess. Most of the time it's Republicans. nm

8. If Stinky leaves Maryland heading east at 65 MPH and Obama leaves Chicago heading west at >>>
Edited on Sat Jun-20-09 12:33 PM by Gidney N Cloyd
55 MPH, how long will Stinky have to wait in the Columbus, Ohio Olive Garden for Obama to arrive?

11. Unfortunately, our party keeps putting up "Detour" signs on their own road.
Well, what is allegedly their road.
