There seems to be an abundance of 'intoxicated' Abilenians.

There seems to be an abundance of 'intoxicated' Americans. Especially behind the wheel. Scary.

Unless I'm foncused, both access roads are one-way in that area...which means this dude actually had to pull almost a full U-turn to enter the exit ramp.
I can see why the officer suspected he was intoxicated.

Is there anyone, anywhere, who still believes in Reaganomics? Ever since "VooDoo Economics" (--GHWB) appeared in 1981, we have seen one series of scams after another. First, the S&L Crisis of the 1980s, then the Leveraged Buyouts of the 1990s, and now the Free-Market Meltdown of the 2010s. We are witnessing the utter destruction for our free enterprise system by the false gods of deregulation, led by Phil Gramm and Newt Gingrich. When Reagan spoke of "trickle" down effect, we had no idea just how tiny the trickle would be. Now we do. It is now 30 years overdue to re-regulate the finance markets. Put rational limits on banks, credit card carriers, brokers, and exchange markets. It's pretty clear which party would bring sanity to our economic policies and which would continue driving us to the poor house.
