ATLANTA - A severe storm ripped through downtown Atlanta on Friday night, damaging skyscrapers, hotels and two major sports arenas filled with thousands of pro and college basketball fans.
National Weather Service officials were unsure if a tornado had touched down, but wind was clocked at up to 60 mph as the storm moved through the city.
Numerous windows were broken at CNN Center.
At the Georgia Dome, where Mississippi State was playing the University of Alabama in a Southeastern Tournament basketball game, catwalks swayed and insulation fell from the roof, sending fans fleeing toward the exits and the teams to their locker rooms.
The game resumed after a delay of about an hour.
It wasn't immediately known if a tornado struck the 16-year-old building, though a roaring noise was heard inside as the storm moved through downtown Atlanta.
"I thought it was a tornado or a terrorist attack," said Mississippi State guard Ben Hansbrough, who was guarding Alabama's Mykal Riley when a rumbling noise was heard from above.

I used to ride the Acela all the time. The First Class section (which I always loved to ride) was usually close to double the price.
They serve all the free booze you can drink, maybe that was why McCain was on. The food also is actually not bad as well.
Also, it would be insane time wise to fly from DC to Philadelphia at Atrios notes. The Acela is the only way to go for that distance. DC to NY is a toss up in my opinion, and many swear by the plane.

I deliberately distinguished between train and acela. If you have the bucks to spend acela is without question far superior to air travel. If money is an issue, the normal train is going to be faster than car, though not supercheap ($120 or so roundtrip).

Not only bombed them had troops invade Cambodia (I remember the night and Richard Nixon and his "Fishhook Expedition."
Yes, we did not want to offend our allies the South Africans. And if we condemned Apartheid, we would have been shut out of their economy and then how could we work to affect change? (This is EXACTLY the same bullshit argument they use when they talk of China.)

Acela Express trains are the only true high-speed trainsets
in the United States. This has made the trains very popular, and by
some reckoning, Amtrak has captured over half of the market share of travelers between Washington and New York. Outside of stations, Acela runs at speeds between 75 mph (120 km/h) and 150 mph (241 km/h), depending on track conditions. On the average, it is significantly slower than most other high-speed trains elsewhere in the world (THE MOTHERFRACKING INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD).

The Milwaukee Road had a branch line that ran across our farm... and up to the 1950s you could stand along the right-of-way and flag the train down for a ride... either to town, which is about five miles away, or to the mainline, which connected eventually to the whole rest of the world... I get a kick out of reading the timetables and imagining the journeys one could have made, starting out in the middle of a cornfield.

Been a fairly interesting day. I have been called a sexist again (without proof or reason, but that is par for the course) I have asked questions and posited solutions that have remained unanswered and unchallenged. I suppose that is to be expected. Some questions have no answers and some solutions are simply impossible without a will to complete and the truth is, in my heart I do not believe that the leadership of this country is capable of asking people to sacrifice to solve a problem and that is sad. I believe that people WILL sacrifice and will solve the problems if they are asked: but the timidity of our leaders and the nefarious bastard qualities of our media condemn us I am afraid.

It's not the inability of political leaders to ask the average American to sacrifice that I'm worried about. It's the fact that they consistently fail to lead those of us who elect them, and they refuse to demand of the corporate entities which have brought us to the precipice, any responsibility or sacrifice for the greater good.

I agree with everything he said. It's alot less radical than anything the wingers have their preachers say from the pulpit. Like, "It's all the GAYS" fault!!" or, "It's because of the LIBERALS!" In fact, what he said is indisputably true, unlike what that old racist Ferraro, Hillary's surrogate, is saying..

How come no one's doing an entire story on crazy ministers who support the right?
Because the Republican Party doesn't hate its right wing the way the Democratic Party hates its left wing, so the Republican Party isn't susceptible to any media chatter, what little there is, on the subject.
No way Secret Service would be happy with riding in coach with the unchecked masses (much easier to segregate those connected to the campaign by sending them into first class).
Plus, I'm actually pleasantly surprised at the practicality of this approach, coming from a Republican.

if we could get some new right of ways and blow up some suburbs we could get a relatively striaght shot from NYC to DC/ then the train would go a lot faster.
This is why I think a maglev line from DC to Boston could work. It would need new right of ways, seperate from the current rail corridor (or possibly built atop it) and would provide very high speed (300+ MPH) transit.
The catch of course is building the maglev track to run the thing on, which is why I think it might be smarter to build dedicated maglev rather than share tuned tracks for high speed rail with local passenger and freight service on the existing rail corridor.

Among other causes of the current credit crisis, Bernanke said, "much of the weakening in underwriting standards appears to have happened outside of institutions regulated by the federal banking agencies.''
He said "strong, uniform oversight of different types of mortgage lenders is critical to avoiding future problems. Regulatory oversight of mortgage lending has become more challenging as the breadth and depth of this market has grown over the past decade.'' He added the Fed is working with other state and federal agencies "to achieve more uniformly effective supervision.''
Gosh, I can still just make out the tails on the horses.

The Air Force's latest new slogan (they change slogans as often as they wet their pants) is Above All, which appearently came from a currently popular Christian Rock song. The last one was "Airpower!" which is at least an acceptable military term relevant to the Air Force. Somewhere earlier was
"Aim High" (which is just incorrect -- "aiming high" is an error like failing to correct your dope for wind).

Given that the flight time from DC to Boston is so short that the planes start descending almost as soon as they're up, I don't WANT to take a flight from DC to Philadelphia, ever. I would be expecting the plane to barely clear the treetops.
I have always taken a train / Greyhound from DC to Philadelphia or New York (where I attended schools). The bus can be actually more comfortable, because the non-Acela Amtrak train cars are getting run-down.
However, I prefer all this to the fascist security shopping-mall land of U.S. major airports. I resent having to suffer the paranoid TSA and overpriced sandwiches just to face my fear of flying. I've read about the physics of flight, but my gut does not believe that 100,000 to 750,000 pounds of metal can become airborne without crashing.
