Biden’s Fun Police Outlaw Roadside Humor – By Athena Thorne (PJ Media) / Jan 17, 2024
“Puritanism,” journalist H.L. Mencken famously quipped, is “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” A century later, Puritanism has surely been replaced by Progressivism, and the mirthless prigs in our progressive government are doing their best to stamp out joy.
God forbid anyone enjoy a light-hearted laugh as they trudge along on the daily treadmill of life. When you’re driving down the highway in late October, say, why should you enjoy a chuckle at a sign reminding you to “Make mummy happy, buckle up,” when you can instead be bleakly chided, “UNBUCKLED SEAT BELTS FINE + POINTS.”
Here comes the government to fix more problems we didn’t know we had. Policy wonks have been busy updating the rules, and now funny variable message signs (VMS) such as these must go from the wayside:
It's the final day of Work Zone Awareness Week and we activated our variable message sign with one final message. Please be mindful of our crews in work zones, give them plenty of space, slow down and move over a lane when possible. You'll be glad you did and so will we! pic.twitter.com/3KX7a7GCzF
