CONtest

I clicked on a web ad touting a ”Create Our Contest Contest” for Amtrak earlier today, but it turns out the contest deadline was August 2.

Timely, like an Amtrak train and the scientific community is united in that fact.

I've got a contest for Amtrak, it's called -- get your hands out of the taxpayers pocket and exist without the public funding of the last 40 years.

Even more so in lieu of an Inspector General's findings of wrongdoing, mismanagement and criminal activity.

In spite of this, there remain fools in federal and state government who want to waste more taxpayer dollars, $310 Million total - $20.6 Million from Iowa, on rail service from Chicago to Des Moines.

Take the MegaBus it's faster, cheaper and already running at no significant cost to taxpayers.
