Fast passenger rail, inching closer to South Carolina

Bad news for Cotton Boll Conspiracy, who holds that train travel is a charming irrelevancy. Americablog:

Eric Cantor is slamming the stimulus package but happy to take its money

From Katrina vanden Heuve of the Nation:

Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor may be a GOP rising star, but he sure is a hypocrite.

How else to describe someone who is a leading critic of President Obama's Recovery Act and yet also joins his congressional colleagues to urge Virginia's Department of Transportation to apply for stimulus money for high-speed rail? If that isn't two-faced, what is?

    I'd be surprised if there's a single GOP legislator out there who would turn down stimulus money for high-speed rail. Everybody's all about fiscal conservatism until it comes time to bring the bacon back to the home district. Then all bets are off.
