NYC MTA budget cuts

juliohu...@gmail.com (Julio Huato) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:22:43 UT

The MTA is getting its budget slashed, and it seems that programs like the
student pass are going to be discontinued.

This reminds me of 1975 (or was it 1976?) in Morelia, when the private bus
system increased the fares. Middle and high schools revolted for a week or
so. Lots of leafleting and impromptu meetings on streets and plazas,

The NYT school of wishful thinking

juliohu...@gmail.com (Julio Huato) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 11:19:22 UT

Compare to the recent story in the New Yorker. There's a strong
temperamental difference. While the New Yorker cites an investment banker
with doubts about the system with lightness and irreverent nonchallance in
the tone, the NYT is always uptight, self-conscious of its role as guardian
of the self image of U.S. liberal capitalism. The Times doesn't give an

Here is hoping that when it comes time to put together the DVD for his
latest film, Moore collects video testimonials like this and puts
them
in the package. The problem with the youtube format is it dilutes the
experience. For all I know, there are ten or ten thousand such videos
there.
The dilution results in the loss of polemic impact.

The best thing to come out of the Daimler-Chrysler bustup

Why the Mitsubishi part of course. And it looks like Peugeot-Citroen
is set to capitalize on Mitsubishi's superiority in manufacturing
electric vehicles.

Their electric car is for real. I can't see it catching on in the US
but in Europe and Asia it clearly sets the standard--like Toyota and
Honda did for hybrids.

There was a strong anti-war element in the Democratic Party, but it
was

1. drowned out by a rallying around Kerry because he was a vet
2. drowned out in 2006 by Rahmbo E., Obama associate, funding
pro-war Democrats
3. by the yakety yak of change of all the enthusiastic O. supporters
