I, too, missed Jon Stewart's podcast. I didn't know we had freight trains running that had brakes from the Civil War. That was a long time ago, when my friend Paul's great great grandfather was a railroad magnate. Facts like this make you feel like you can touch the distant past--reminds me of hearing on NPR 6-7 years ago that there were still 30-odd Americans who had fathers who'd fought in the Civil War, including one who'd met Lincoln. Those Civil War era brakes may have been durable, but I think it's time to put new brakes on those trains. The old brakes can go to the Smithsonian, and I'll happily have a look at them next time I'm in DC.
We know exactly who that creep is, may he shortly be in prison, or barring that, dead--unless he is needed in the world at large to prevent the GOP from winning anything next year.
To be honest - I dont really watch much news - other than seeing the blurbs on MSN. So I'm to blame for not paying more attention, I guess. However, I find I get the gist of things from Colbert & Stewart!! And then theres LFAA!
I"ve watched nearly 20 minutes of Stewart on this. 1) it's appalling. And 2) this is a world that I'm not very familiar with, but these people in this town and the train workers are treated terribly.

One of the things the Obama administration did was update the regulations to 1990!! But then you know who came along & un-did it.

I think a lot of us arent familiar with whats going on in these small towns - many that have lost their way in the current world.
