But just as important is intercity rail - getting people from one part of the state to another. And just as high ridership is bumping against budget constraints on city lines, so too is intercity rail running into capacity limits: Amtrak set records in May, both for the number of passengers it carried and for ticket revFBI E-mail Scam

Democrat Dave and I don’t agree on much, but it seems we were watching the same network newscast last night. That would be ABC News, where this jaw-dropping question was asked by Charles Gibson to George Stephanopoulos concerning Barack Obama’s decision to drop out of campaign finance for the first time EVER: “George, I’ve heard a lot of political analysis today about his decision, but let me ask you a question about basic fairness.

As if there wasn’t already enough bad news associated with the midwest floods. Floodwaters loaded with farm runoff are heading down the Mississippi River, and scientists fear the deluge will dramatically increase this summer’s dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico, covering an area the size of Maryland. You have to wonder if we’re going to learn any lessons here. I saw a report on CNN this morning about how after the last big flood year in 1993, a lot of talk was made about restoring swamp areas, aCampaign Fund Pledge “Take-Back” Fallout
The story of Barack Obama revisiting and redacting his pledge to take public campaign funds has been out for a day now. Generally speaking this announcement has been met with disapproval and disappointment, except by kool-aid drinkers at the HuffyPot. * Well, hold your hats, the WaPo today slapped Obama for his change of, er, heart(?). BARACK OBAMA isn’t abandoning his pledge to take public financing for the general election campaign because it’s in his political interest. Certainly not. He GOP out raising DNC 5-1 in fundraising

distressed some of his supporters, who are concerned that Obama might superficially appear to the uninitiated to resemble a self-serving ambitious politician. I don’t know why they would think that.

Here’s what Obama said about the Republicans at a fundraiser in order to get The Faithful whipped into a wallet-opening frenzy: “We know what kind of a campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name.

Sources tell TTAC that the glut of SUVs and trucks is so bad that the banks are not calling in the repo men. I repeat: banks are cutting maximum slack to people who are behind in their loan payments-- to the point where some are driving around in their vehicles without making any payments. In a bizarre way, this makes perfect sense. Repo services cost money. Re-conditioning costs money. Storing the vehicles also costs money. Equally important, the banks/credit agencies don't take the full hit toU Ra Varadarasan: Rural Economy - Agriculture, Industry, Services
