I've been talking about this for years. The crumbling of America's passenger rail system over the past 80 years has been a national tragedy. Sounds like people are finally starting to come around:

Ha! Ironic website showing pictures of Rocky the grizzly bear and his owner Randy. They seem to be having a wonderful time. Too bad Rocky later mauled Randy's cousin Steve to death. I wonder if Randy still laughs with Rocky?

Put this in your pipe and smoke it: How to escape from a black hole.
-I am not convinced that the human mind can really wrap itself, so to speak, around the true nature of the universe. While I find information like this extremely interesting, I wonder if one day a scientist will actually discover (or piece together) something so incredible about the universe that his head will literally explode (or implode and turn into a black hole that will devour our planet).

4 Signs I Should Have Stayed Home Today...

1) My son through an absolute fit going to daycare this morning.
2) My regular bus was abnormally packed this morning, including a straight-from-the-trailer couple who saved their half smoked cigarettes, which filled the entire bus with a putrid stink, and argued the entire way to town.
3) A woman got on the bus this morning with a cat in a box...a live cat...in a box. I guess she wasn't worried about other peoples' allergies.
4) Hillary Clinton is having a rally 2 blocks away from my office at lunch time.

...and this was supposed to be my day off.

Sorry for the lull in posts. Work and a general distaste for the current state of the union has been weighing heavily on my shoulders. I've been taking solace in my family and laying off the web browsing as much as possible. I read a great post today, which you can find here. Best line:

"Johnny, it used to be you could be sure of one thing in this life: if you worked hard every day, went to church on Sunday, and voted Democratic, your kids could have a better life than you did. Now that's all over, and nobody even says nothin' about it! The Republicans don't care. The Democrats don't care...John--you managed to get out of here, so you must be smart...What the hell happened to this country?"

Five Lost Cities of the Future. Detriot, which I recently had the pleasure of visiting and is on this list, is clearly in bad shape. The mayor is a hustler with a huge entourage (someone should remind him that he is in Detroit), crime is rampant, there is literally no work with the exception of healthcare, and the biggest construction project being undertaken there is an enormous bridge to Canada! Sweet freedom! The reason why the healthcare field is booming is because the 50% of the peak population that still resides there is too sick to leave!

Whew...(sigh of relief)

Thanks you for your time Mr. Dobson, but there's the door.

Jonathan D. Salant claims that Obama doesn't take donations from 'registered' lobbyists. He is probably going to get my vote anyhow, but if I can find proof that this is true, it's a sure thing. I urge anyone on the fence with the candidates to take this into consideration.
