maven's note:
Almost a year ago DC Crank Tank (Washington DC) told an entertaining joke: The California High-Speed Rail project is a planned future high-speed rail system in the state of California and headed by the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA). Initial funding for the project was approved by California voters on November 4, 2008, with the passage of Proposition 1A authorizing the issuance of US$9.95 billion in general obligation bonds for the project. The CHSRA is currently tasked with completing final planning, design, and environmental efforts. The planned system would also serve other major California cities, such as Sacramento, San Jose, Fresno, Bakersfield, Anaheim, Irvine, Riverside, and San Diego.

The Washington Post didn't like the joke and snapped to DC Crank Tank Heads: "No to Cali high-speed rail! You think this is FUNNY?"

I didn't think it was funny. I thought it was hillarious. Those Crank-Heads are going to bring the Bullet Train from Japan? Pleaz! Just get me a toy train from Toys R Us Made in China and I'll be laughing and happy.
Why The Washington Post is against the high-speed rail plan in California? Specifically because it is “a stretch connecting not, say, Los Angeles and Anaheim but two obscure locations in the state’s rural Central Valley”:
"We have our doubts about the ultimate feasibility of this vision, in part because in much of the country passenger rail can’t compete with car travel by interstate highways".

True Meaning: No Fast Pace, But Fast Face Stuffing to Hillbillies! They are fat, slow and happy. Why change that? You want French Fries with that, sir?
