My tinfoil hat wearing little brother, who lives in Minnesota called me today to tell me he thinks the republican governor Pawlenty took the bridge down on purpose so that the feds would come in and build a new one at no cost to Minnesotans. I almost hung up on him and told him to quit smoking so much pot as it clearly has fried his brains.
That's ridiculous. Only Christine Gregoire in Washington State is that corrupt. :-)
