  1. How will the politicians be able to lord over us if they are riding on trains?

    The trains are for ‘us’, not ‘them’.

  2. Saw a blurb that Blago is having sattelite phones put in the state planes, because 45 minutes of being out of touch on the flight down to Springfield is too much. Do you know what the per-minute charge is on an Iridium phone?

  3. Blagojevich would have to be actually going to Springfield in order to ride the train.

    Gregor - by the way, the flight time is only 30 minutes.

  4. I bet Pat Quinn would ride that train. I did not always like him, but sure do now. He also walks to and from work. A guy that leads by example.
