After his wife and baby daughter were killed in a car accident in 1972, Sen. Joe Biden began commuting back and forth between D.C. and Deleware on Amtrak. So it warmed my heart, sitting in the balcony of the Pepsi Center last
night, to hear him call train transit out by name . "John McCain was wrong on everything," he said, "from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Amtrak to veterans."
With Biden’s nomination, the two campaigns’ approaches to rail couldn’t be more different. Both he and Obama have been firm supporters
of high-speed rail and want to see it expanded. Meanwhile, John McCain has
vowed to close down the whole system in favor of privately-owned rail
companies, reportedly calling it a " non-negotiable issue ." Aviation is dying and 2008 is the year of the Supertrain. I think Americans want to get on board.
The above photos are of Biden on bus in 1976 and on a train in 2004 .

Welcome to Vichy America
This was not just another election. The last time we had a presidential election, the Left tried to get a brazen traitor elected - namely John Kerry. This new President from the Left is even more than that. Obama was no traitor, because he never was really on our side in the first place. Obama was really a foreign candidate - in spirit, funding, and citizenship.

On various business-oriented blogs today, I've seen a lot of griping about the news that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is suing Countrywide Financial for engaging in deceptive business practices. Some of these complaints have called into question Madigan's decision to target Countrywide, pointing out that the company is one of numerous bad actors in the financial sphere. Others have chalked Madigan's move up to political grandstanding.
But it's importan... more
