2. The Ron DeSantis Bridge:

It starts out strong, but halfway through pretty much falls apart into the water. Do not recommend.

6. In New York City, one of the farthest-out, well-travelled, very peripheral bridges is called the Outerbridge Crossing.

It's actually named after a guy! Eugenius Outerbridge was the first chairman of the NY/NJ Port Authority.

Little Ron’s Rainbow Bridge. Thoughts & prayers.

13. Republican County Commissioner can be a pretty good gig.

Typically, the only requirement is that you win a plurality of the votes in the Republican Primary. There’s usually a pretty good salary for a 4 or 6 year term. A lot of people know this so there’s often a lot of competitors making the actual number of votes needed pretty low. This often results some pretty whacky characters on the ballot with a good chance to win. If you are involved with the local mega church or are a real estate broker with your name on signs around the county you have a distinct advantage. When I lived in Montana I followed local politics and saw some pretty crazy stuff.

14. Disgusting.

It would make me sick if I lived on Sanibel and I'd have to cross that bridge and see that asshole's name on it.

16. This is PERFECT!

With climate change, a bridge to Sanibel Island will soon be a bridge to nowhere.
