I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way

Well there is nothing Imponderable about this. It isn’t even remarkable. We are talking about the government.

Because it says that Amtrak lost $800M on cheeseburgers and soda.

Regular readers, know where I am going with this?

Yes you do.

Was this guy their best passenger?
