Damn that sucks.

How much will this cost the economy, now that there will be a detour, though.

Obama wanted Infrastructure spending and the Republicans called it "Socialism"! I wonder how many disasters it will take before they vote to fund projects!
The Oklahoma school without a Tornado shelter or a bridge in Seattle?

Oh, I forgot that the Moon landings never happened, the Internet doesn't exist and the Earth is flat. Yep, I'm with you here.
