  2. The Legislature’s idiocy knows no bounds.

    Biggest boondoggle in the State, currently – I know folks who are “working” there (High-Speed Rail Authority). They freely admit that they’re just milking it for as long as it lasts and know it’s moronic, which pisses me off no end.

  3. Fresno – Bakersfield: 37 mins / 113 mi.

    Really? 183 mph. Not including stops. Really?

  4. Each man’s death taxes diminishes me,
    For I am involved in mankind a boondoggle.
    Therefore, send not to know
    For whom the bell tolls taxman cometh,
    It tolls He comes for thee.

    I guess the union rank & file realized that they weren’t getting their share off the top, under the table, but instead, after the taxman grabs his part off the top. What a radical concept, this reality stuff.

  6. Damned math sure screws things up. I’m thinking the train builders are holding their breath, while hoping the taxpayers never figure out that physics overrule the imagination.

  7. …oh, I forgot to mention I have a wonderful idea for a transporter, but it will take a couple of million to start the feasibility study.

  8. A day or so ago, our fearless representative, Loretta Sanchez, gave a talk at an event promoting the High-Speed railway.

    She told how great it would be; how all those tourists now driving our crowded roads would be on the train.

    She told this sad story: She was driving to another recent event, and the freeways were so crowded that she didn’t get there on time and didn’t get her award (she didn’t say what award).

    See? Because we don’t have HSR, she missed getting an award. There must be something we can do to make up for this injustice.

    And if there were HSR, she could have driven those freeways more quickly and collected her award.

    (She’s on the ballot here in CA for tomorrow’s election. That’s one person I won’t be voting for.)

  9. Do they wear pants in the Southern part of Frants?

  10. No can stop the project. To many politicians bought land along the track (they knew where it was going before anyone else) and they would loose money if it is not built.

    “go the distance”
    “ease their pain”
    “Build it and graft will come”

    As businesses leave California the trapped rats fight among themselves for what is left of the cheese.

  11. I’d rather give the $$$ to Jess. Who knows? While he’s out frinkling with his new toys in his new shop out behind his new house, he’s waaaay more likely to actually build a working transporter than CA is to build a working HSR…

    just sayin’

  12. I’ll gladly take the money. By the way, transporter feasibility studies require a good single malt scotch.
