European Tribune - Comments - Local Rail Extras I

Local Rail Extras I | 27 comments (27 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

It can't get Democrats elected and it doesn't tell people how America knows best or how they can keep driving.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

Re: Local Rail Extras I (none / 1)

The first episode got over 300 comments and was in the reclist. The second, posted by me, got more recommends and comments in the same time as this one. Both were shorter than this one.

The first even got 420 comments, though it's fair to note that maybe a third of that was generated by an aggressive bus-advocating troll. And I got much more recs for the third than the second.

It might get them elected if they would try it. Still plenty of room for driving. Just not for city commutes.

Great series.

More of what else was going on ... hard to get on a rec'd list when a filibuster is in play, etc ...

It got reasonable, respectable play.

Phil did what now? (none / 0)

I'm too busy working to pay old student loans to keep up with all of this. Its either the Tour or politics, and so politics has taken a back seat.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
