Only in Wisconsin: Drinking and Driving


While drunk driving accidents are a nationwide epidemic that destroy lives, families, communities, and a good fuckin' night getting shitplowed, Wisconsinites, at least comparatively, turn a bloodshot, glassy eye to such matters. One of our State Reps was recently censured for three OWIs in one year. His poll numbers are probably through the roof.

One Madison woman showed how true Badgers cope with alcohol-related vehicle problems. She hit a utility pole in an Oscar Mayer parking lot at 1:15 a.m. on Friday. Whew, no injuries. But the stressful crash combined with the chance that she'd be hit with a 5th OWI were wearing on her nerves, so she did what anyone would do:

"'The driver left the scene but was located by police inside a nearby bar,' said police spokesman Joel DeSpain."
