I'm getting tired of being blamed for that jerk. (Not that I blame the state he was born in, either. I blame the money, and the lack of scruples about how it was gotten.)

12. There's also a George Bush Turnpike in North Dallas.
I'm really beginning to wonder about this state. I hope some day they'll change the name of these highways like they did with Washington National Airport (it'll always be "National Airport" to me, certainly not Reagan).

Fast forward to the year 2020...and picture yourself driving along the John F. Kerry highway. Wouldn't THAT be nice.

37. I think it's real
Edited on Tue Dec-05-06 12:42 PM by Autonomy
I was just about to say, upon close examination, including magnifying it, that it looks photoshopped, but then I noticed something...

Look at the "V" in "village". The right arm of the V passes over a ripple in the paper it's printed on. It appears to be the largest ripple caused by a quick application to the sign. There's a minor unevenness in the right arm of the V. You can see where the ripple causes a indentation on the inside of the right arm, and a convex 'bump' on the outside of the right arm of the V. If it were photoshopped, I believe the artist would have made this minor flaw on some of the other letters, but as it is, it's only visible on one letter.

It seems to be real.

edit: typo

49. I live about 30 miles south of Waco,
and I'm not sure if it's photoshopped or not. It looks real until I see the very bottom of the sign. It seems that the dripping paint trails go on a bit too far. Of course it may be some ice drippings. I'd have to know what time of what day the picture was taken. It didn't start freezing until a few days ago here. It does look like an early morning shot heading South so it could be ice. Dumbass Parkway is a stretch of US 84. I always take I-35. Maybe I'll have to go to Waco and look for myself.

The thing that amuses me about this highway is that it runs between Waco and Gatesville, a town largely surrounded by state prisons.

I just wish Waco would get the Dubya Liberry instead of SMU. There's still plenty of wide open land around Waco where they could put it and nobody would have to look at it unless they were specifically going there. Midland would have been the best, though. Sigh.

I hope the whole hospital was scrubbed well after the village idiot was born at Yale-New Haven Hospital because 26 years later my brother and then I were born there. Yuck! Love the sign! Shows not everyone in Texas loves Dumya.
