AWPC: Dumbest Ever Nomination

It is officially a winter storm in P-town. The PDX is not equipped to handle such things since it happens for maybe a week every five years or so. But it is definitely a winter storm. In KC or MSP this system would have made schools open two hours late. Scary! Here the schools are already calling off Monday and several have thrown in Tuesday for good measure.

My place of employment decided it was important to have Boxing Day/Kwanza off and had us work today, Sunday, the Winter Solstice to make up for this coming Friday. Not working today meant not getting holiday pay for X-mas Eve and Bloody Fucking Christ's Mass Day. So even though the roads are not fit for the uninitiated, a good quarter of the workers showed up today. And one of them said what is not the dumbest thing I've ever heard, since Bush has all the top slots filled in those categories, but definitely ranks up there.
Him: I kept giving it more gas and even made it into high gear and still couldn't get traction.
Damn Portlanders.
