I heard that Dandy Don raised the same red flags on WCCO last night. <br /> <br /> He then neatly folded one of the red flags into a neacktie and demonstrated the Pratt/Shelby knot. The other red flag he deftly transformed into a scale model of the I-35E "unweave the weave" project.<br /> <br /> The final red flag he stuffed into his trousers, loudly shouting to his shocked co-workers, "I have a gopher in my pocket! Do you want to know what his name is?"<br /> That “study” was done by the Reason Foundation which is funded by the petroleum industry. They’re also global warming skeptics.

Sure, our transport infrastructure has been crumbling over the last few years and this new work on 35W makes us more congested, but other cities that leave you stuck FAR LONGER, like DC or Chicago, aren't on these guys' top five?<br /> <br /> I regularly drive during Friday rush hours from NE Minneapolis to Richfield, taking 35W. In the thickest it's been I've had a 40 minute drive. (And note that rush hour here is maybe between 4:20-5:20.)<br /> <br /> Worst in the nation? Give me a break.

And sure, there's some parental responsibility. But parents could use some help, too. Like home builders installing safer screens. Anyway, my point is, it’s easy to blame the parents.
