Steve the sinkhole was born on Monday and died on Tuesday after Caltrans poured cement into his gaping hole. He was 35 years old. He was conceived by California Highway Patrol Officer Sean Wilkenfeld, who wanted to get people to pay attention to the annual winter warning: Drive slowly and avoid potholes. It worked. People paid attention to the sinkhole along Highway 13 at Broadway Terrace in Oakland. The CHP's Twitter feed was full of fun and laughter, and Wilkenfeld told NBC Bay Area that Steve is possibly the first sinkhole with a named in the United States. As for why the name Steve? The answer was: Why not?
the highest taxes and the highest living costs in America, and you gotta name and make a big public celebrity out of a sinkhole to finally get Californication to repair “him”
(that only leavees 69,000,000 more sinkholes Californication has not repaired)
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
HA!
WELL, IF Blackburn were in Californication, they’d hire a new welfare caseworker for each one
and
then a crew of additional government employees to throw tax money into it

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most > prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?
Can you spell ‘politicians?’
ha!!!!!
nice one..
(there’s a theory that everything thrown into a black hole eventually comes out “the other end”....I don’t know if this is just an anal fixation within the astronomical guild .. but if all that $$$ is gonna be thrown in then maybe we should position ourselves on the other side?
smile smile
I like that. :) CA could create a new government office...The CA Department of Astro-fiscal Scatology.
sorry to pop your bubble but Californication already has that office
I hate to say it about my own kind, and there's no going back, but women getting the right to vote was the turning point, IMO.
Lol...shoulda guessed it.
nolo commento on THAT, but
I’d settle for just preventing them from driving... at least prevent them from driving in the Costco Parking Lot (Demolition Derby !!) ha ha
I’ll just cheat and pull up what Ann Coulter has said. :)
And Winnie was one smart dude, wasn’t he?
