Why does anyone take people such as Glen Beck seriously? He’s a drooling, schizo-effective lunatic. The fact that Rand Paul, an open holocaust denier and rabid antisemite takes him seriously and considers himself some sort of neonazi equivalent to Ted Kennedy listens to him is proof enough that the citizens of Kentucky have really absolutely no say in who is actually sent to the US Senate on their behalf. The man probably spends his late nights stroking himself to the sound of Alex Jones’ voice.
I’d be willing to bet his alleged “election” was entirely fraudulent.

Paul Ryan told a conclave of GOP cardinals and archbishops today they “need to stick together and pick their fights” with President Obama.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....d%3D262110
Roger Rabbit Commentary: That’s probably good advice, as far as it goes, but they need to do more than that. They desperately need to reinvigorate the GOP’s once-vaunted, but now tattered, message discipline. The last thing their party needs is the kind of idiocy that came out of Boehner’s mouth has week, when he accused Obama of trying to “annihilate” the GOP, or the kind of stupidity that emerged in Arizona this week (see #3 above).

In Europe, the big national railroads have been broken up into operating and infrastructure companies, and one success so far, is Germany’s Deutsche Bahn, which is a big holding company, with incumbant passenger operator DB part of it. The EU has ruled that it is legal, although DB subsidiaries that control stations, and the power distrubution for electric trains, have been accused of gouging the non-DB operators.
Still, one new passenger operator is doing pretty good, and although it has only been running 6 months, the Hamburg-Koln Express is getting a good following. What I like about the HKX, is who owns it. One of the investors in it, is Rail Devolopment Corporation, an American Short Line holding company that primarily focuses on investing in overseas operations, although they do have one operation in the US, the Iowa Interstate.

A little info on the infrastructure operator DB Netze.

EvergreenRailfan spews:
The Iowa Interstate is interested in resuming passenger operations on it’s former Rock Island trackage, and there is talk over the years of a Chicago to Omaha service using the Iowa Interstate, as in this case, unlike the route of the California Zephyr and Southwest CHief in Iowa, it hits Iowa’s major cities and towns. This service, assuming Iowa funds it, would be operated by Amtrak. One of the successes the HKX is having in Germany, is RDC sub-contratcted the motive power operations to another company. With the Iowa Interstate, I wonder if Amtrak should be the one operating it, since this route was never part of Amtrak(Rock Island declined to join, many stories on why they said no, part of it was they were too broke, the other part was, they thought they could make money on their two remaining trains within Illinois to keep the railroad’s cash flow going), but Amtrak already operates services on track they did not operate in it’s early days, as Maine had no US passenger trains running from 1960 to the early 2000s.(A Canadian Pacific, and later VIA Rail service to Halifax skirted across Northern Maine until a Liberal Government cut the route in 1993).
