If we want to save money, why not use the existing Amtrak rails, and just buy the trains. There WAS an Amtrak train between Las Vegas and Los Angeles until 1997.

Here's my guess: the promoters of the new train systems don't want an inexpensive project. They want an expensive project.

And enemies of ALL government spending don't want to spend anything at all. No matter how clogged I-15 gets on Fridays and Sundays, no matter how long the trip takes by car, they don't want to spend a dime on a train system.

Hey, at last we found somebody we could beat.

If only we could play teams from "schools" like:
National University, the University of Cosmetology, and the Five Star School of Gaming...
Then we'd have a good record.

Stay away from the powerhouse high schools, though.

Too tough.

Repeal the Federal income tax? THAT will balance the budget!!

The public's right to know must prevail! Broadcast the trial on Pay Per View. Proceeds go to help the zillions of unemployed.

Even though the trial hasn't started broadcasting yet, I already know my favorite episode: the one about the deranged ferret in the phone booth.

What's your favorite? Inquiring minds want to know!

How's this for a slogan?
Reno: like Vegas, but smaller.

or

What happens in Vegas, doesn't happen in Reno.

The Reno city fathers have paid out $111,000 for a new slogan? I'll bill them a mere $110,000 for these two gems. Total.

What is a healthy lifestyle anyway? Don't drink, don't smoke, watch your weight, ... and stay out of casinos!!! So people who stay out of casinos should get a discount.

If your cactus dies, it's probably over-watered. I was told to water a cactus once a week in the summer and once a month in the winter.

Some people are just famous for being famous. They have never really done anything, they're just famous, that's all. A generation or two it was Zsa-Zsa Gabor. Now it's Kim Kardashian. Eventually she will end up on The Hollywood Squares, or as a judge on American Idol.

The mortgage is under water: the outstanding balance is greater than the market value of the property. So the shopping center owners are just walking away. Even if they could make the mortgage payments, they would only end up paying $55M for a $43M property. It's not a crime or a conspiracy, just people doing what it's in their interest to do under the circumstances. And the result may be a real depression.

The commission is supposed to investigate immigration issues? Great idea!

Here's an immigration issue: a Congressional representative votes for a bill in Washington that would make it a crime to hire an undocumented worker, and then the same Conggresional representative hires an undocumented worker as a maid. The maid is told to hide in the basement if the INS ever shows up.

The commission should hold hearing on this issue, and then propose severe penalties for such behavior. Retroactively! The commission should send happy couple Jim and Dawn Gibbons to jail. Because this is exactly what they did.
