Be Careful What You Ask For Department or What's Your Favorite Number?

Hoosier Daddy?? Apparently the current issue of the Hoosier Gazette has an article about the renaming of Interstate 69 that some folks are taking just a little too seriously. This has happened to the webpage before...From Boing Boing: John Hostettler, the Congressman representing the 8th district of Indiana, has been convinced by local religious groups to introduce legislation in the House that would change the name of an Interstate 69 extension to a more moral sounding number. There are plans to extend the interstate from Indianapolis through southwestern Indiana all the way through Texas into Mexico in the coming years. While most believe this highway will be good for the state’s economy, religious conservatives believe “I-69” sounds too risqué and want to change the interstate’s number. Considering the morals swing of the government of this country, kinda surprises me that no-one has thought of this one yet! Thanks Boing Boing!
