Bridge to nowhere 

An extremely irrational, pointless, and obviously dumb idea

The bridge to nowhere was a bridge proposed to connecting Ketchikan, Alaska to Gravina Island (Pop. 50) and the Ketchikan Airport.
The airport handles 200,000 passengers a year, which are brought in on a ferry that runs every 30 minutes, and can handle 350,000 people a year.
The bridge was to cost almost $400 million and be comparable in scope to the Golden Gate Bridge, which handles 118,000 cars A DAY!
In response to Sarah Palin talking about McCain's health care plan to give families $5,000 to go out and get their own healthcare:

Joe Biden: "So you're going to have to place -- replace a $12,000 plan with a $5,000 check you just give to the insurance company. I call that the "Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere."

"You're going to have to replace a $12,000 health-care plan with a $5,000 tax-credit check you've just given to the insurance company. I call that the ultimate bridge to nowhere." - Sen. Joe Biden, 10/2/08

Bridge to nowhere 

When you pitch a loaf so long, it touches both shorelines of the toilet.
That loaf was so long, a fly could walk across it and get to the other side of the toilet. Almost like a bridge to nowhere.

Regular Degular 

Plain. Not tampered with or upgraded. Basic.
May I have an order of regular degular buttermilk pancakes? Without all the added jazz? Hold the blueberry smiley face, strawberry glaze, chocolate chips and whipped cream.
