I'd say the schadenfreude is on me for continuing to live here but I'm not sure who's deriving any pleasure from what Fallin and her buddy Brownback have done to Oklahoma and Kansas, respectively. :smithicide:

The optimist in me hopes that it's a temporary pain that leads to a permanent debunking of trickle down economics. So thanks for taking one for the team I guess?

Like all the states with Tea Party governors, my state's infrastructure is crumbling. So I assumed that was the cause when I heard a busy bridge collapsed in town today. Turns out that wasn't directly true, but I'm still guessing the fact that this bridge was built in 1952 and poorly maintained since was a contributing factor.



What happened was that the clearance of the span over the eastbound side is 14'8", while the westbound side is 14'4". Apparently this semi loaded with a boom lift went through the eastbound side earlier today, did whatever he needed to do, and then went back west, probably without a care in the world...

Luckily nobody was injured so we can laugh. I enjoyed the internet commenters' response (our state is facing a $1.3 billion budget shortfall):

"In response to bridge collapse, Governor Fallin announces tax cuts for the energy industry."

"Mary Fallin cuts additional 50 teachers to pay for bridge repair"

Mary Fallin will find a way to make this worse, so expect more in this thread later.

Don't forget their legislator trying to defund their own state supreme court and passing a law that says "can't hear you lalalalalalala! Also you're illegal poopy heads"

She didn't really ASK to be made into a symbol, she was just being defiant and taking some selfies for her own satisfaction at an event which upset her, and then social media turned her into a hero and popped her onto a pedestal juuuuusst quickly enough for her to violently tumble off of it.

EDIT: Really it's more indicative of the fact that the internet chews people up and spits them out. If you are unlucky enough to be noticed, in ANY capacity, everything you do and have done will be rooted up quickly. So then we make folk heroes of people and doom them to this intense, overwhelming scrutiny.

I'm not saying I agree with this woman's word or actions. But racists and xenophobes are a dime-a-dozen on the internet. Its kinda our fault for canonizing her and expecting her to be perfect, just because she took A Selfie.

Yes, yes, I'm being excessively dismissive, and one can reasonably infer something about a person's motivations when doing something like that. Still, it is at least a bit silly to say that someone is "right about" something when you're only really judging your own inferences about what their opinions are likely to be.

Yeah, I honestly feel slightly bad for her more than anything. Some random lady's terrible opinions hardly matter, and don't really justify the endless hounding and apologetics she's going to get.

I think the lady saw the bike approaching in her peripheral vision and the lizard brain kicked in with "MOVE FASTER THING COMING AT ME"
It probably would've been fine if the bike hadn't swerved to avoid her.

Wasn't this guy a guest on the Daily Show a while back? His story for writing it was kind of hilarious IIRC because it was basically "Yeah, I used to be a huge rear end in a top hat to people until someone was a huge rear end in a top hat to me on facebook! It hurt my feelings, this is important now!"
