Why is it "important" that a few thousand people have a train?
Low-density states do not, in fact, &quot;need&quot; trains, airports, and other expensive infrastructure. Politicians and civic boosters are suckers for developers&#039; pie-in-the sky projections of economic growth &quot;fueled by&quot; these projects; they&#039;re blind to the reality that the local economy will <a href="http:\/\/www.adn.com\/2010\/03\/02\/1164886\/anchorage-airport-train-depot.html" target="_blank">never be able to justify the project</a>.
This promises at least one unusual result: I would actually be interested in hearing from Sarah Palin, the day she really can see Russians from her back porch.
Well, teachers get all this union pay or something and also they have leftover construction paper that they can burn instead of wood or coal. Plus they probably all get some Target gift cards for Christmas or something.
Aargh, don&#039;t do that. If I have to think about the mating calls of Alaskan animals, I&#039;d rather think of the caribou. Or the wolverine. Or the tundra shrew ... oh, wait.
Have you ever been on a hovercraft? I have, across the English Channel. You can feel every tiny wavelet. My girlfriend lost her lunch; luckily for me, I hadn&#039;t eaten. If God had meant us to ride on a cushion of air, we would all be Johnny Fartpants.
&quot;The age and operational costs of that airplane led officials to start planning a new land airport in 1999.&quot;
When you notice that your airplane getting old and expensive to maintain, wouldn&#039;t you conclude that the solution is a new airplane, not a <i>new fucking airport?</i> Just asking, because we all know how Mooselini is all against gubbmint waste of taxpayers&#039; money.

All of a sudden, that bridge doesn&#039;t sound so stupid now, does it?
I&#039;m really looking forward to McCain and Lieberman teaming up on the late-night half-hour infomercial for Viagra.
That popular survial guide (bright yellow cover) had advice for how to avoid a raindeer attack.
