Rush Limbaugh's Answer:
I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a
government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already
forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you

the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking
about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens
to cross.
