Leavin' on an Amtrak train.

As a supporter of passenger rail in America, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Joe Biden uses Amtrak on a daily basis. But the Railroads in America, which Amtrak alone moves over 25 million people in a year, is under attack by groups like REASON.ORG and Libertarian ideals in general. They support having more roads, and more cars to pollute the air, and subsidizing the trucking industry to "help give them an edge over the railroads which have robbed them of traffic."
Well, all Libertarians, I have a request for you... try driving in New Jersey during rush hour, and the next day take NJtransit rail operations. Trust me, your support will change.

About that text message.

I just have a bone to pick with the obama campaign. Why in the world did he send out that stupid message at 3 in the morning? Where was the thought process on that?

Meanwhile at the McCain camp...

Advisor: I just got a word-message on the movable cellular telephone!
McCain: What's it say?
Advisor: Senator Biden will be he VP candidate.
McCain: OBiden eh...
Advisor: Well, you don't have anyone better.
McCain: That's not fair, I was supposed to win the election!
Advisor: Sir?
McCain: I spent 4 years in a rat hole in Vietnam, not fair, not fair. They HAD to pick another old fart, so I don't have that to go by anymore. I'm going home.
Advisor: Which one?
McCain: well, I don't know. Which one is good for a retirement home?
Advisor: flordia

Yeah, I know that was stupid. Whatever.
