bridge to nowhere 

"i said no thanks to that bridge to nowhere"

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.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
