It seems a bit of a controversy has flared up on a small scale this week thanks to another jackass from Illinois who refuses to obey the law in Wisconsin. A certain Sun-Times columnist got busted for speeding and decided to write about it (via Gapers Block). Never really willing to admit that she was in the wrong for driving 18 mph over the limit, Ms. Laney instead has chosen to place all the blame on everyone else: the other drivers around her, the Racine County Sheriffs Department, and the Wisconsin DOT. Okay, I'll give her the DOT one. The problem is that Ms. Laney - like all Illinois drivers who cross north of the border - seems to think that it's perfectly acceptable to speed in our fair state. These Chicagoans fly down our highways in gold-trimmed Lexuses with tinted windows at 85-90 mph, and then they want everyone to feel sorry for them when they get pulled over. Tough titty. It's not as if our troopers need to seek you out because the Wisconsinites the ones with the rusty F-150s blocking the left lane while driving 10 mph under the speed limit. All they need to look for is the ass hole tailgating the F-150 and you're done for. Yes, Wisconsin is a state full of hicks, and if you don't like it, don't come here. If you do choose to come here, obey the law or take your punishment and shut up.
