Democrats love mass transit, except the part about disclosing the cost for repairs needed to prevent explosions and electrical arcing that will burn you alive.

Yep. Exactly.
When the Metro was being planned and built, I do remember that they emphasized and crowed about one item of future maintenance: The concrete surface in all the stations has a protectant that graffiti won't adhere to, so they'd never have to worry about unsightly graffiti like other systems. That was pushed as a big maintenance plus.
What foresight!
A clean system that won't run, and your last moments on earth in a subway fire won't be cluttered by graffiti on the walls.

And I seem to recall one of the METRO-critical bloggers exposing some really despicable financial hanky-panky by the ATU Local leadership over the years. Like the husband and wife team that's running the store (and [probably still skimming the till) now. I think the name was Unsuck METRO or something similar. He also exposed and crucified WMATA leadership and their PR muppet mouthpiece over the non-functioning heating/cooling, the perennially broken escalator scandal and the endless daily delays. He went silent a couple of years ago - probably had a stroke.

Any of you potential 8th District constituents in Carroll County who received today's e-mail about Obama's edict on transgender public school bathrooms contacted Jamie Raskin to see what his position is? He ought to announce whether he's with the President or not, on the record.

I just sent him an email about it. We'll see if he replies.

Not a bad response time from him. His position is clear:
I was the floor leader in the Maryland Senate for the Fairness for all Marylanders Act, which established rights of equal accommodation, fair housing, and employment non-discrimination for trans-gender individuals, and so I am very supportive of the Administration’s position. Please let me know if you want any more explanation. I know it’s a tough issue for a lot of people! All best, Jamie

No surprise there.

Gee, what's the ratio of trans-gendered to 2A-disenfranchised, Jamie? How about a little fairness for the rest of us? I know it's a tough issue for you.

1. Fairness for all Marylanders? All? Nope.
2. "Tough issue"? WTH does he mean by that? How is it "tough"? What's the issue? What does he know, and why does he think fairness is "tough" if it's only fair? Fairness should be easy, not tough, right, Jamie? How dam*ed condescending and patronizing. The implication is that those who disagree aren't fair. And it's "tough" for them to accept fairness.

The rest of us don't vote his way, so we don't count.
