All Aboard Amtrak!

You may have heard that Amtrak is one of the many great programs on W's chopping block (why not those stupid robot soldiers or "missile defense" or one of your idiotic wars, moron?). Via Cyndy, I came across this great page which details the reasons this country needs Amtrak and debunks the lies told about it. My recent Amtrak experience wasn't the greatest, but that had a lot to do with it being woefully underfunded--not the opposite. And for the shorter Ann Arbor to Chicago trip, the train may be, even now, the best way to get there.
