Instead of ‘Hip to be Marx’, how about hip to be ‘Thomas’ (the train, that is)?

Then Glen Beck has a kerfuffle with the ladies on The View after lying about their meeting on a train and mocking Barbara WaWa.
Finally, Amtrak is getting $1.3 billion in Porkulus bacon to steam ahead with expansion even though it’s a proven money loser. If the company’s track record of unsuccess is any indication of how the government operates businesses, lets hope the feds pass on fully ‘Amtrak-ing’ the American auto industry. If not, get used to seeing government-built cars on the road and we all know how good they can be …
Fun with a Soviet-Built Volga!
