"The federal government says THIS is harder to read than This.

Got that? ALL CAPS are bad. Mixed Case is Good.

It's just one reason the Federal Highway Administration is ordering all local governments -- from the tiniest towns to the largest cities -- to go out and buy new street signs that federal bureaucrats say are easier to read.

The rules are part of a tangle of regulations included in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices." . . .

Oh, dimmy is hopping mad about this one already!

IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME TO SPEAK FOR MYSELF ,

TO TRY SOLVING SOME REAL PROBLEMS .

THIS "PROBLEM" IS SO FAR DOWN THE LIST OF SERIOUS CONCERNS

THAT THEY HAD TO CONDUCT A STUDY IT TO FIGURE OUT IF IT EVEN EXISTS !
