A couple of weeks ago Meck Deck and I pondered this question: Why do conservatives hate trains?

Antiplanner ponders another question: Why do reporters love trains? The answer —- reporters can’t do arithmetic.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no arithmetic genius myself. So by all means somebody check my math here —almost half a billion so the train from Raleigh to Charlotte can run 13 minutes faster?

Update: Republicans call for Bev Perdue to be like Rick Scott. I wish.
