    Some on a railfan board actually applauded the decision to cancel ARC. THE reason? The stub-ended terminal annex near Penn Station. What is needed is a run-through tunnel, to increase capacity on the Northeast Corridor. As for diverting the money, that should not have been done.

    Besides the Hudson River Tunnels, their are a few other choke points on the NEC.

    CVS Fined For Cheating Customers

    California has fined CVS Health using deceitful packaging to mislead consumers about how much of certain beauty products was in jars that had false bottoms and sides.

    http://money.cnn.com/2014/10/0.....?hpt=hp_t2

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Show me a businessman and I’ll show you a lying, cheating, thief! Next to bankers, businessmen are the most dishonest people on earth. Think where we’d be without government regulation to keep their dishonesty from getting totally out of control.

  3. 3

    CNN reports that former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has been turned down for refinancing of his Washington D.C. home, which is worth less than $1 million. Bernanke, who listed assets of only $1 to $2 million, was one of the Fed’s “least wealthy” members, according to CNN.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Bernanke made less than $200,000 a year as Fed chair, so it’s not surprising he’s relatively poor and can’t get credit. Contrary to how conservatives try to portray public service, government work doesn’t pay well, never has and never will. You’ve gotta be a private sector banker or businessman to roll in clover.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile Peter King was 100% right about ISIS while DUMMOCRETINS called King an islamophobe last year!

    Sux to be a DUMMOCRETIN. So wrong for so long!

  6. 6

    @2

    And think where we’d be without the Constitution to rein-in government. Too bad the constitution is being eroded, both by the far right and the far left.

    Like Judge Napolitano says, government is force.

  8. 8

    @6 I already know where we’d be with a government that thinks of the Constitution as an unenforceable scrap of paper: The Nixon Administration, the Reagan Administration, the Bush Administration.

  9. 9

    @6 “government is force”

    And we need government because force is the only language some people understand.

  10. 10

    And I bet glibertarian believes “re-distribution” is a moral wrong:

    Charlotte police say an elderly couple died on Thursday in what investigators are calling a murder-suicide.

    Investigators say that 70-year-old Edward Rosner shot his wife, 68-year-old Prudence Rosner, before shooting and killing himself.

    Officers went to a home on the 4200 block of Myers Hunter Lane in Ballantyne to serve an eviction notice just before 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.

    http://www.wbtv.com/story/2669.....er-suicide

  11. 11

    Here’s a moral wrong..

    The broad trend is clear from a diverse set of data. Median household income growth has badly lagged per capita GDP growth, corporate profits as a share of national income have risen, and stock markets have reached record highs.

    Merrill Lynch recommends an investment strategy to its clients based on the growing economic clout of plutocrats, Singapore Airlines is now selling $18,400 first class cabin tickets, and observers think Apple is going to start selling a $10,000 watch. Conversely, Walmart is now primarily worried about competition from dollar stores. The executives at these companies are not hysterical liberals trying to drum up paranoia about inequality, they are trying to respond to real economic conditions — conditions that have entailed very poor wage growth paired with decent returns for those proserous enough to own lots of shares of stock.

    http://www.vox.com/2014/10/2/6.....ity-debate

    This economy is working just gang-busters – for the rich and well-connected ONLY.

  12. 12

    Excellent article about the “doom loop” of oligarchy. Wealth buys power which buys more wealth. Here’s a taste:

    9) It’s a safe bet that policies like, say, the estate tax — which taxes large inheritances — would disappear under Ryan-led tax reform. His 2010 budget roadmap, which included more details than his more recent budgets, eliminated the estate tax — which Ryan, like many Republicans, calls “the death tax” — entirely.

    10) Mitt Romney proposed a similar plan and offered a similar lack of detail about how to pay for it. When the Tax Policy Center ran the numbers it quickly came clear why Republican politicians are so loathe to get specific: even under ridiculous favorable assumptions, they found the plan cut taxes on the rich and raised them on the middle class.

    http://www.vox.com/2014/4/11/5.....-oligarchy

    Oligarchy? Shit, we’re pretty much there. Probably been there for a long time.

  13. 13

    And the oligarchy wants to put pensioners into penury.. The oligarchy’s money is sacrosanct not the lives of ordinary worker-bees..

    Government workers are searching through their pension documents after a landmark decision by a federal judge that dealt a blow to the California Public Employees Retirement System.

    A federal bankruptcy judge ruled Wednesday that Stockton’s pension issues were no different than its other bills, leaving the door open for the city to slash payments once thought protected.

    “If they are allowed to take up to 60 percent of our retirement, I don’t know how I’ll make it,” says Charlotte Martin. “I think I clear $2200 a month. If they take 60 percent of that, thats a lot.”

    http://sacramento.cbslocal.com.....settlement

    And the worker-bee lady doesn’t have Social Security to fall back on.

    Franklin-Templeton didn’t have to extend credit to Stockton. They took a risk and now they don’t want to face the consequences of the risk going bad on them. Assholes.

  16. 16

    LOL@14. You gotta laugh to keep from crying.. The “new breed” of klownservative krackpot Republicans are committed body and soul to stop people from voting.

    Freaking unbelievable!

  17. 17

    Can anyone find the figure “5.9 percent” in this piece of crap?

    http://www.speaker.gov/press-r.....ent-report

    Yeah, things aren’t great but they’ve getting better NO THANKS TO AGENT ORANGE and his fellow klownservatives..

    The asshole then says there’s “dozens” of good job bills stuck in the Senate. Yeah right…

    Right off the bat, note that there are, in fact, 46 measures on the list of “jobs bills” already approved by the House. But the list includes six bills that have either been signed into law or endorsed by President Obama. When Boehner insisted that “Washington Democrats” have “ignored” all of the bills on the list, that wasn’t entirely true.

    But of the remaining 40 “jobs bills” on the list, very few can credibly be described as actual jobs bills.

    For example, the first 14 bills on the list of 40 – more than a third of the overall list – are giveaways to the oil and gas industries. The bills expand drilling, expand fracking, expand pipelines, expand mining, expands coal-ash projects, and “protect” coal plants. How many jobs would this collection of energy bills actually create? The heralded list from the Speaker’s office didn’t say, but the total would likely be pretty modest..

    OK, but that’s 14 out of 40. What about the rest of the list? Several of the “jobs bills” attack the Affordable Care Act, and there’s simply no evidence that taking health care benefits away from millions of American families will create jobs.

    The list of “jobs bills” includes the Farm Bill. The list of “jobs bills” includes Paul Ryan’s budget blueprint. The list of “jobs bills” includes a pointless measure intended to stop President Obama from allowing state experimentation with welfare reform.

    The list of “jobs bills” includes a measure to increase federal spending “transparency.” The list of “jobs bills” includes a framework on cybersecurity.

    I hate to break this to Speaker Boehner, but a lot of these measures aren’t what any sensible person would call a proper “jobs bill.”

    @10 Hell, even Bernanke can’t get a refi. Evil bankers! Wait a minute, he IS a banker. When bankers can’t get loans, you know we’re in deep doo-doo.

  19. 19

    @18 He charges 200/250k a speech. Recently he gave 3 speeches in one week. The guy should be able to get a refi to put an addition on the place with a decent interest rate and then write off the interest on his taxes.

    Sounds like it’s damn near impossible for an ordinary two-income couple to finance their first home.

  20. 20

    @12 Thanks to compounding, if a rich family invested $1 million at 10% and kept rolling it over, in 100 years they’d have $12.5 billion and in 150 years they’d have all the money in the universe.

  21. 21

    @19 Yeah, if you want a starter home, you need $250k in cash, but a worker earning federal minimum wage can save that much in only 16.6 years, provided he has no taxes or living expenses. Of course, by then, it will cost $398k, assuming 3% inflation, so he’ll never have a home to call his own if Republicans implement their platform of no minimum wage increases and no help for first-time homebuyers. GOP motto: Let the working class live under bridges!

    The Iowa GOP’s State Legislative Candidates Survey asked prospective candidates, “Will you support legislation to nullify ObamaCare and authorize state and local law enforcement to arrest federal officials attempting to implement the unconstitutional health care scheme known as ObamaCare?”

    The Republican View Of American Slavery

    “Yes, we practiced slavery. But we also ended it voluntarily, at great sacrifice, while the practice continues in many countries still today!”

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/.....ail=email#

    I dunno about the “voluntarily” part, but as for “great sacrifice,” yes, when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation every cent of capital that slaveowners had invested in slaves went down the drain. So I guess we wanna teach kids to not make bad investments, huh?

  26. 26

    Did you hear John Boehner’s speech about unemployment falling to 5.9%? Neither did I. [crickets chirping]

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/.....ail=email#

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: You know, I don’t care what he says, or doesn’t say. Suppose we have a 4% unemployment rate when 2016 rolls around. How are Republicans gonna run against that? Are their ads gonna say, “We took unemployment to 10% and it took Democrats 8 years to get it back down to 4% again!”?

    The Inspector General at the USPS has recommended that the USPS study moving mail in New Jersey, between major processing centers, by rail. Mail by rail has had some of it’s last stands be on the Northeast Corridor. That is where Amtrak last hauled mail and express, and before that, Railway Post Office cars(the latter was interesting, up until the end of en-route sorting, the RPO crews were armed).
    http://www.progressiverailroad.....8211;42067

    In most cases, this could not be done nationwide, many postal sorting centers have relocated away from the rails. Out here, the center in Portland is close to Union Station, while the Seattle one, is not.

    Meanwile HA DUMMOCRETIN morons are running around touting the “5.9%” unemployment rate while ignoring the truth! http://www.epi.org/publication/missing-workers/

    Current “missing worker” estimates at a glance
    Updated October 3, 2014, based on most current data available

    Total missing workers, August 2014: 6,320,000
    Unemployment rate if missing workers were looking for work: 9.6%
    Official unemployment rate: 5.9%

    Somehow nationwide DUMOCRETINS like to scream and shout about fictitious guvmint values. Puddy knows where to figure out the real FACTS!

    For the really stoooooooopid dipSHIT called the monomaniacal clueless crazed cretin this org is LIBTARD… From WikiPedia…

    The Economic Policy Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit American think tank based in Washington, D.C.[2] EPI presents a liberal[3] viewpoint on economic issues. EPI has a sister organization, the EPI Policy Center, which is a 501(c)(4) organization.

    FACTS… makes DUMMOCRETINS look as stoooooooooooopid as they mentally are!

    Make me a grave where’er you will,
    In a lowly plain, or a lofty hill;
    Make it among earth’s humblest graves,
    But not in a land where men are slaves.

    I could not rest if around my grave
    I heard the steps of a trembling slave;
    His shadow above my silent tomb
    Would make it a place of fearful gloom.

    I could not rest if I heard the tread
    Of a coffle gang to the shambles led,
    And the mother’s shriek of wild despair
    Rise like a curse on the trembling air.

    I could not sleep if I saw the lash
    Drinking her blood at each fearful gash,
    And I saw her babes torn from her breast,
    Like trembling doves from their parent nest.

    I’d shudder and start if I heard the bay
    Of bloodhounds seizing their human prey,
    And I heard the captive plead in vain
    As they bound afresh his galling chain.

    If I saw young girls from their mother’s arms
    Bartered and sold for their youthful charms,
    My eye would flash with a mournful flame,
    My death-paled cheek grow red with shame.

    I would sleep, dear friends, where bloated might
    Can rob no man of his dearest right;
    My rest shall be calm in any grave
    Where none can call his brother a slave.

    I ask no monument, proud and high,
    To arrest the gaze of the passers-by;
    All that my yearning spirit craves,
    Is bury me not in a land of slaves.

    -Bury Me in a Free Land

    Puddy wondered why Nate Silver is no longer being touted by the HA Head DUMMOCRETINS… It’s pretty obvious why… http://www.salon.com/2014/10/0....._critique/

    Nate even claims Daily Kooks has the Republicans taking the senate in November. Puddy hopes so. Then DUMMOCRETINS will LOSE the nukular option Reid decided to use in his nasty partisan way!

  36. 36

    @ 34

    Marines die in combat. Thats what happens when you send them into harms way. This would be totally unnecessary if the United States had not attacked Iraq and destroyed it in the first place. The entirety of responsibility for this is layed on the actions of the previous administration.

    Don’t blame the firemen when a fire you start goes out of control.

  37. 37

    Meanwhile… Will Nancy Stretch Pelosi die in Congress? http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....y-in-2016/ PuddyCommentary:If Republicans gain more seats in 2014 as it seems possible, Pelosi will be waiting a long time. She could become a great-grandmother in Congress if Jesus delay’s His 2nd Coming to allow this.

    Digging into the http://www.bls.gov/news.releas.....032014.htm

    Of course morons like HA’s Roger NoBalls IDIOT Wabbit ignore this BLS statistic… Under Obummer it’s the lowest participation rate since February 1978. 1978? Wasn’t that the Jimmae Cahhhhrter years?

    And another BLS value missed by the moronic twit IDIOT Wabbit was only 12,000 more people were really added to the workforce over the past year September 2013-Sept 2014. 12,000 people IDIOT Wabbit. Paradoxically, that’s the real fact the libtard press will not ADMIT! Didn’t Joe BiteME claim 500,000 jobs a month under Obummer?

    There is so much more in this report the low information voting DUMMOCRETIN will never learn because the libtard led slobbering msm will never report these FACTS!

    Tom and Jerry cartoons on television are being accompanied by a warning that they may depict scenes of “racial prejudice”.

    The classic cat and mouse cartoons, some made more than 70 years ago, carry a warning for subscribers to Amazon Prime Instant Video.

    Yes a mouse making a cat look stupid is bad. Can you say ISIS is the cat and Obummer is the mouse?

    Does any HA DUMMOCRETIN remember how Senator Obummer criticized GW Bush on the Avian Flu outbreak? http://dailycaller.com/2014/10.....-at-ebola/

    Meanwhile, four years ago, the administration of President Barack Obama moved with virtually no fanfare to abandon a comprehensive set of regulations which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had called essential to preventing international travelers from spreading deadly diseases inside the United States.

    The CDC had proposed the regulations in 2005 under the administration of George W. Bush, reported USA Today in 2010. The original impetus for the regulations was fear that avian flu would spread unchecked.

    Well the usual DUMMOCRETIN suspects are involved… ATA, ACLU and other civil liberties orgs were against this! And you wonder why Van Jones and HA DUMMOCRETINS are as stooooooooooopid as ever! Yet crazed COngressional DUMMOCRETIN Alan Grayson is touting the conservative line. Puddy wonders if Grayson is afraid of losing again!

    This also KAAABLAAAAAAMMOOOO’s the Daily Kooks argument from http://www.dailykos.com/story/.....-expanding and Jon Perr!!!

    Well if you write on Daily Kooks you really are kooky! Loved by HA DUMMOCRETINS all over the US!

    Still dancing on Mike Webb’s grave eh? The Prosecution Rests Your Honor! This DUMMOCRETIN is one useless ASShole!

    The Village IDIOT fits you perfectly Seems you agree JoeBiteME is an IDIOT! Thanks for playing and proving to all you really are the moron you appear again! CNN has announced the BiteME comments!

  47. 47

    Oh goodie… Puddy’s American Indian ancestry will be celebrated over some white guy Christopher Columbus!

    Damn. We learn his ancestors came from Europe AND America pre-Columbus..

    Columbus was a mass murdering asshole if ya didn’t know moron!

    According to the report, Columbus once punished a man found guilty of stealing corn by having his ears and nose cut off and then selling him into slavery. Testimony recorded in the report claims that Columbus congratulated his brother Bartolomé on “defending the family” when the latter ordered a woman paraded naked through the streets and then had her tongue cut out for suggesting that Columbus was of lowly birth.[76]

    The document also describes how Columbus put down native unrest and revolt; he first ordered a brutal crackdown in which many natives were killed and then paraded their dismembered bodies through the streets in an attempt to discourage further rebellion.[77]

    “Columbus’s government was characterised by a form of tyranny,” Consuelo Varela, a Spanish historian who has seen the document, told journalists.[76] “Even those who loved him [Columbus] had to admit the atrocities that had taken place.”[76]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus#Accusations_of_tyranny_during_governorship

    There’s tons more jerk! World would have been better off had he never stumbled upon on the shores of Guanahani.

  48. 48

    Columbus was an inveterate greedhead as well.. Again from Wiki:

    The indigenous people he encountered, the Lucayan, Taíno, or Arawak, were peaceful and friendly. Noting their gold ear ornaments, Columbus took some of the Arawaks prisoner and insisted that they guide him to the source of the gold.[48]

    Fits the klownservative mentality to a tee!

  49. 49

    Once again the monomaniacal clueless crazed cretin gets it wrong wrong wrong… Where did Puddy claim to have Christopher Columbus in Puddy’s family tree? Puddy’s cares less what Columbus was or did! Sux to be you getting all in a lather over it. Sounds like Columbus is just like the crazed clueless monomaniacal cretin!

    The monomaniacal clueless crazed cretin is really stooooooooopid!

  50. 50

    The CDC had proposed the regulations in 2005 under the administration of George W. Bush, reported USA Today in 2010.

    How prescient of Obama to know that the klownservatives would cut CDC’s budget by 600 million dollars starting in 2010.

    How is CDC supposed to implement new regulations? With klownservative volunteers? Klownservatives are greedy. They demand HEAVY COIN for doing NOTHING save enriching themselves.

  51. 51

    Where did Puddy claim to have Chirstopher Columbus in Puddy’s family tree?

    Find where I said that asshole. Can’t read for shit as usual.

    So what are you fucking complaining about over that school?

    Jerk.

  52. 52

    Puddy was a DUMMOCRETIN back then..

    Wow what a lousy convert you made. Thought Quayle was dumb then and thinks Quayle is dumb now. Sheesh.. You’re supposed to believe the WORST klownservative is BETTER than the BEST DEM..

    It’s back to klownservative reform school for your sorry ass.

    No one around here is impressed with Biden you moronic windbag..

    How prescient of Obama to know that the klownservatives would cut CDC’s budget by 600 million dollars starting in 2010.

    What a dumbASS! Hey dipSHIT, who controlled the purse strings in 2010? Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid! Man you are one dumb monomaniacal chronologically challenged mofo! Still the dumbest ASShole of the HA DUMMOCRETIN ASSholes!

    HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR You better change your DEPENDS as you are leaking all over HA DUMMOCRETINS!

    Could the fiend actually be cheering the decision of liberal Seattle Schools???

    Damn! First sending his kids to public schools and a liberal college in (gasp!) Seattle, then subscribing to a Seattle-based Health cooperative, now screaming “goodie” to the decision of the Seattle Public Schools.

    Man this klownservative is SCHIZO!! A house divided cannot stand! LMAO!!!

  56. 56

    Well monomaniacal clueless crazed cretin, Puddy has another flight to catch so look up who controlled the Congress in 2010 and let Puddy know how chronologically stooooooooooooopid you really are.

    Puddy hopes you didn’t get that CDC cut from a left wrong site. If you did monomaniacal clueless crazed cretin, it proves you are just a parrot for the left wrong material!

  57. 57

    who controlled the purse strings in 2010?

    Let’s say that’s right. What did klownservatives do to reverse that moronic village idiot jerk?

    NOTHING! THEY PILED ON!

  58. 58

    better change your DEPENDS

    Not a Limbaugh and Hannity listener fool.. That’s YOUR CROWD..

    Take your own advice idiot. LOL!

  59. 59

    Puddy has another flight to catch

    On a trip to nowhere but his own ignorance..

    Flying away from all those black americans now living in the ‘burbs.. Settling for the “reservation” delusion.

    Flying away from black women struggling with poverty. Settling for a black genocide delusion. Can’t support them getting affordable contraception so they’re not stuck with the painful decision of having an abortion.

    Can’t fucking face reality to save his ass. Living in a concrete bubble.

    CDC budget cuts since 2010…

    2011: $5.737 billion (who controlled congress in 2011?)
    2012: $5.732 billion
    2013: $5.721 billion
    2013 (after sequestration took effect): $5.432 billion
    2014: $5.882 billion

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....13844.html

    Again what did klownservatives do to reverse this? NOTHING until recently. And why did klownservatives preside over these cuts?

    To “create jobs”..

    47)Seattle is named after a Native American, that has honored him with his likeness on the flag, city seal, and named a high school after him. Seattle University’s old mascot should have been considered another honor. Also, the city seal in the council chambers was a housewarming gift from one of the local tribes.

    SCOTUS LEAVES GAY MARRIAGE INTACT!!!

    The Supreme Court this morning rejected the appeals of several states which sought to overturn lower court rulings that gay marriage is a constitutional right.

    I’m shocked. When SCOTUS took these cases under review, I expected the activist conservative majority to scuttle gay marriage by enshrining the “one man, one woman” mantra somewhere between the lines of this or that constitutional provision article or amendment. But they punted instead.

    Technically, this is only a procedural ruling, a non-decision in substance; the Court only said it won’t decide the issue at this time.

    But I think this is the ballgame. It means SCOTUS is allowing gay marriage to become entrenched in society, which will make it nearly impossible for a future Court to tear it down. We’ve see this with Roe v. Wade, a popular social policy that’s been in place for 44 years now. Even the current conservative majority that has done so much damage in other spheres is unwilling to abrogate it, and only nips at it around the edges.

    The so-called “family values” bigots just lost a big one.

  66. 66

    @64 and 65 – Thanks Roger! Not that you did anything. But at least you are vocal to the issue. Not sure I am off base here, but I compare the following story to people that are not anti same sex marriage but stay quite because they don’t feel it is up to them to defend (or come out against) heterosexuals that are against same sex marriage. Not sure if I am saying this correctly
