Oops, sorry Atreideshawk, I didn't bother to read all the posts. Great minds think alike. ha!

How about this?

"I'll have two Joes to go, and fast."

Maybe the plumber and the dweeb can get together with Scarborough for a special "three amigos" show.

Artur Davis and Harold Ford need to remove themselves from the "center-right" ideology of the DLC and run away, run away from Al From, who, along with McAuliffe, is part of the problem, not the solution.

I'm a lifelong Dem and an Obama supporter, but I'm sorry, this is intimidating, obviously not a lie, though is clearly a response to the Frank Rizzo-esque past behavior toward African-Americans. Nevertheless, this kind of thing doesn't help anybody. Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of beefy white fellows with sticks at polling places around the country as well. Take your cameras to the polls.

100 million people a year ride BART in the Bay Area. Can they all be wrong? I have ridden rapid transit for varying lengths of time (for a total of about 6 years) in the following cities: San Francisco, New York City, Portland (OR), Chicago, Montreal, Paris, London, and Frankfurt, and I'm still alive to tell about it. I've never personally known anyone who was assaulted or killed on a rapid transit system. However, I have known 3 people who died in auto accidents, for whatever that's worth.

Unfortunately, railroads mostly don't own rights-of-way any longer. You see, in California, as in other places throughout the US, GM and Goodyear bought up the railroad rights-of-way in the 50s so they could promote highways and sell lots of cars and municipal buses. So guess who owns the rights-of-way. Yeah, the car companies, and probably an oil company or two.

Your anti-rail paranoia is simply a result of 50+ years of auto company propaganda.

What are you going to do when gas is $10 a gallon? Just sayin'.
