I never read The Art of the Deal, but I assume somewhere in that tome is this:

Don't make it obvious to your opponent that you are desperate for a deal and will accept anything, even a deal worse than the one you yourself tore up, and especially don't do this after you kill your opponent's father.

That toll isn't even in Delaware- it's in Maryland. The bridge toll is a joint toll shared with New Jersey. Delaware has zero tolls on its route. The only toll you pay in Delaware is on Route 1, if you're going to the beach.

Also, the pic you have is of Camden, New Jersey.

If you're going to attack Delaware, at least attack it for things it actually does, like house most of the world's evil corporations. Don't attack it because Maryland is greedy (see also: the Susquehanna bridge toll, which is miles away from Delaware and is even more onerous than the bridge toll or the toll Maryland imposes at the Delaware border for the privilege of entering or leaving Delaware).

That toll booth is most definitely on the Delaware side of the border

Roasted. Even John Oliver would've got that right, geez.

Omg THANK YOU! We used to live in NJ, and my husband’s family lived in DC. For twelve years we drove back and forth on 95 a few times a year. With the money we spent on tolls for the privilege of crossing those ten or so precious Delaware miles, we could have bought a whole nother car—or it felt like it, at least.

Truly the funniest thing I have read this year.

SM Lav: My thought exactly! I'm glad I hadn't started eating my Capt'n Crunch b/c I would have spit it out. All I have to do is wipe up some coffee.....

I'm content to pay the toll. For that I get a well maintained highway that's a pleasure to drive on vs. the crappy ones in PA.

It's like a schoolyard bully beating you up and then giving you their lunch money

Well, it's easy to avoid, you just have to Drive through Elkton MD to do so and God's speed if that is your decision.

Your picture here is of the Ben Franklin Bridge (which is not on 95) and Camden, NJ (which is not Delaware).

The name "Delaware Memorial Bridge" implies that Delaware has DIED. No such luck?

I don't think the Delaware River has died (I've kayaked on it but not recently) so they must mean the state?

The Delaware (Lenape) tribe is mostly dead. Maybe it’s a memorial to them.

This raises the question, “Who will be the Joe Biden of Iran?”

William Kenney's avatar

99% in agreement. Americans should consider this war the clusterfuck it is. The one thing I’m not sure about is calling the peace treaty a bad negotiation. Any deal with Iran had to favor Iran. Trump needed two things: a deal Iran would actually sign, and one sweet enough that they won’t break it at an inopportune moment (say, just before the midterms). An expensive guarantee indeed!

Obviously Jeff has never driven in West Virginia. At least Delaware has beaches.
