I've noticed a lot of taxpayer associations popping up talking about black holes. Perhaps they are scared of a certain super collider, but its usually a rail line that will severely hamper their ability to drive. Right? I mean they are freedom destroyers.
This one is in response to the Norfolk Light Rail to Virginia Beach:
"This project is nothing but a black hole on the backs of the taxpayers," said Robert Dean of the Virginia Beach Taxpayer Alliance.
Project Name - Verb - Black Hole
Man, it sucks to have a black hole on your back.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a "black hole on your back" describes what this guy is?
ReplyDeleteJust remember, never stand between the average Virginian and their motor vehicle.
Note: People in Arlington and Alexandria are NOT average Virginians.
A lot of highway projects are black holes or money pits.
ReplyDeleteI guess they got tire of "boondoggle".
ReplyDeleteI guess boondoggle is too alarmist.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think Boondoggle got dropped because it's not threatening enough. It almost sounds like a type of carnival. Like, "look at this stuffed bear I won at the Jefferson County Boondoggle last summer." Nobody thinks black holes are fun sounding. Particularly when they're perched on your back, apparently.
ReplyDeleteI got yer black holes right here!
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a lot of red Cap'n. $18 Billion is no joke.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pan! Most of that $18 billion is the $14.5 billion the New York State DOT wants to spend replacing the Tappan Zee Bridge with a wider span.
