Please, fix up your roads SC, so the rest of us can drive through as fast as possible.
Thanks.
What? You don’t care to stop at an outdated Mexican themed (and slightly racist) fun park called “South of the Border”? Pedro would be most disappointed.
I stopped there once, with my parents. In the late 50s. That was enough.
BACK UP, AMIGO! YOU MEESED IT!
I won’t mees it when that god-forsaken place finally goes under.
“so the rest of us can drive through as fast as possible”
We’ll fix them, and then set up speed traps so you guys can help us pay for them.
Of course you hicks would do that. Just like any third world country.
Why would you want to drive through a third world country anyway? Would you be happier if we simply made it a toll road for those with residence outside the state?
Build a bridge that spans from North Carolina’s border, all the way to Georgia. Now hurry up!
I’m going to take a wild guess you’re not local. Otherwise you would know you’re as likely to get a beat down with your speeding ticket here in SC. But don’t let that stop you. Your money is good here.
Yet another cabinet failure. I challenge anyone to name a cabinet success from this administration …..
…or, Sanford before her.
How many of HER scandals exploded less than a year after HE left office?
That speaks to long term management problems that everyone but the voters of SC1 should be able to figure out.
The kitchen cabinets at the governor’s mansion are doing pretty well, I hear.
“Reach the beach non-sense”. Why else would anyone visit SC for pleasure? (I know, that sentence sounds crazy) To go to Columbia? lol
Like we really need to be spending $$$$$$ onstreaming traffic cam videos when South Carolina bridges and roads are death traps?? Who is the SHIT 4 BRAINS that approved this crap over at SCDOT?? We need names so we can assemble protest marches outside of their fooking homes! Sheeshus, this is total criminal insanity!! Traffic cams are more important that a child’s life???? WOW!!
I kneel before you, you hit the nail on the head. Not to worry about SCDOT. In the next month SCDOT and everyone involved in the corruption may become guests of another embarrassment known as SCDOC (S.C. Dept. of Corrections). Courtesy of the USFHWA, FBI and Inspector’s General.
NO WAY “everybody involved in the corruption” is gonna do time. Not enough room for all of ’em.
… but there is plenty of room at all of those FEMA camps.
Main thing is, let’s not raise a 0.00000000000001 cent gas tax to pay to fix anything. In fact, let’s never raise any taxes ever again. Let’s just set our rates now for the next 100 years and budget cut our way to economic nirvana.
Like Frankenstein says….”Tax baaaaad”…
…and Frankenstein is right.
Frankenstein has two bolts coming out of his neck and is cobbled together from pig anuses and corpses and speaks in almost mono-syllabic utterances.

But he’s still right. And he has an enormous schvanstucka.
Holy shit! We can post videos on here again!
Yup … That Terri … still the best, still the finest … Got wood?
Ah well. It was nice while it lasted. Video gone bye-bye, link deleted. Same thing happened when I tried to post one.
… just like Limbaugh? :>)
I’d support a gas tax hike if it was guaranteed to “fix anything,” I suspect instead the money would go for more big-ticket new roads that are built for politics more than actual need. First force the SCDOT and the Infrastructure Bank to take the politics out building roads and then let’s talk.
Yeah, let’s attract more pasty white rednecks from southern Ohio and West Virginia. Like we don’t have enough.
Plus Indiana, Kentucky and “Pensyltucky.”
Fricking Ohioans, man.
They’ve fucked up “Hang On Sloopy” forever. That alone should get them banned.
“We’ll fuck you up the ass, but at least give you a reach around on the beach.”
The Fixx was a highly underappreciated band of the early 1980’s, blending jangly pop and alternative riffs all while espousing political views that were ahead of their time. Their seminal album, Reach the beach, was a compendium of uhhh ummmm aw shit Thanks Will.
One of my favorite ’80s bands.
love that album. cy curnin. awesome.
“… government is screwing the pooch by funding an unnecessarily large system (and a bunch of totally unnecessary new projects). And then whining about being broke. …”
Surprised? You would not be if you visited Taxifornia. There is a plethora of g’ment programs, projects, agencies, “upgrade activities”, even tourism related subsidies for projects, just like SC’s … that almost all seem dedicated to nothing more than expansion of g’ment.
Consider: a “high speed” rail passenger service 130 miles long,running from the middle of nowhere (north of Fresno) to the middle of nowhere (south of Bakersfield), but it is *half-fast (existing airlines are twice as fast), *with no visible market or potential passengers (nobody in Bakersfield wants to go to Fresno), and will cost more than $9 Billion taxpayer dollars. (http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Court-gives-California-s-proposed-high-speed-5825246.php – today: 10/15/2014)
AND, yes, we have g’ment entities all over the state complaining about being without fund … a din and spew that never seems to end.
I guess modern g’ment bureaucracy as practiced in the 21st century everywhere in the USA IS a now charity.
What SC needs is a passenger rail service.
What SC needs is a single rail to run the politicos who champion such ideas right outta town.
Derp
SCDOT is out of control and needs a big house cleaning. That is obvious. What is it going to take? Class action lawsuits and discovery with subpoenas to expose the stealing going on inside this agency? Do these people really want to be found and have warrants for their arrest issued?
