Wisconsin’s governing bodies are currently in the midst of finalizing the state’s Department of Transportation budget request. Among the critics of the proposal is Democratic state representative Gordon Hintz. Following a Committee on Transportation hearing on December 6, Hintz sent out a press release, where he called out Republican leadership for “their failure to act on a sustainable transportation funding solution for the last 5+ years.” In the release was a photo of David Byrne, as well as a statement that alluded to Talking Heads’ 1980 track “Once in a Lifetime,” and its “And you may find yourself” refrain (as pointed out by reader Welton Becket). Hintz said:

And you may find yourself

Living in Zoo Interchange traffic

And you may find yourself

With the highest amount of transportation debt service ever

And you may find yourself

Behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself on a gravel road

With a giant flat tire

And you may ask yourself, well

How did I get here?
