Delicious Irony?

So... close to my house is one of the old fashioned A&W Drive Ins where you park your car and order from there. They have great burgers and root beer and it is a favorite destination of my family during the summer.

Here in Wisconsin we've been bombarded with snow. It's been over 70 inches at the time of this writing and winter doesn't look ready to go away just yet. On February 18th we got a ton of rain to go with the snow which only weighed the snow down more. The weight crushed the overhang of the restaurant and destroyed it.

Now I'm sure the owner's insurance will help him out here (after all Republicans totally love and trust those good guys at Big Insurance) but the funny part is that February 19th was the Wisconsin Primary and as it turned out the A&W owner was a staunch Republican who supported Mike Huckabee and decided to use his business to advertise this fact.

Unfortunately for him and Huckabee, February 18th and 19th didn't go too well.
