In 2008, the silly voters in California approved a $10 billion bond issue to build a 220-mph "bullet train" between L.A. and the Bay area. Actual cost estimates are around $40 billion. Who knows what the final cost will truly be?

Which will be about a 12 hour trip after it stops at every little podunk berg on the way up to the bay.

I’ll bet the train never gets built. The $10 billion will be consumed by planners, envirnomental studies and lawyers.
The final verdict: there are too many endangered spiecies in the way.

There's never going to be any stupid bullet train in Stupidfornia. Not from LA to SF, not from anywhere to anywhere. What a joke.

How's that biotech institute coming, Stupidfornia? The one that was going to be set up with the $3B bond issue in order to show W that he could outlaw federal money for ground-up human beings to help with fetal stem-cell research until the cows come home but it's not going to stop Stupidfornia from doing it!
