I read another headline on Yahoo! this morning that has me wondering whether our government has gone berserk, most notably the Treasury Department. I didn’t have time to read the story, but here is the headline:

Snow turns interstate into parking lot

I am assuming that Treasury Secretary John Snow must have been angry from the fall he took yesterday (you may recall that I wrote yesterday about the headline saying that Snow fell from New Mexico to the Great Lakes) and he must have brought all the force of the Treasury Department to bear to close the interstate. You know, if this were the middle of summer all the travelers on the interstate could stop and park and have a cool drink and maybe listen to some of the truck drivers’ colorful stories. You have to ask what is Snow thinking to turn interstate highways into parking lots during the holiday rush. People won’t be able to reunite with their loved ones; the important last minute holiday gifts won’t be able to move down the interstates to the waiting arms of the children. Banks won’t be able to move those dollars that have declined in value during Treasury Secretary Snow’s tenure back and forth and commerce will be disrupted.

This is yet another instance of our government gone wild. Here in Jimbo’s world we wonder, when will it stop?
