A couple of years ago commuting from Maryland to Northern VA, where there are only a couple of ways

[madinmaryland]

to get there, it took nearly three hours to make a 50 minute drive. The reason???

A major in the armed services had died in the service of his country and was on his way to his final resting place in Arlington National Cemetary. I accepted that traffic jam and respected his service of this country.

Now if Governor "vaginal probe" O'Donnell of Virginia had shut down a portion of the beltway in VA due to a dispute of the town manager of DC suburb, all HELL would have broken loose.

FUCK, Krispie Kreeme!

2. Aww...those DMV drivers? Close the Beltway? Mess with DC rush hour?

Shoot...they get pissed if someone has an accident.....I remember once they shut the beltway down to let a helicopter to land - emergency situation...those drivers were honking horns..it was not happening fast enough
