		<description><![CDATA[Being a political junkie, I watched the Democratic primaries for any sign that transportation might become an issue. It never did and thus my career as a political blogger never got off the ground. But today I see that the confluence of the general election, $4.50-a-gallon gasoline and John McCain&#8217;s legislative record have given me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was somewhat surprised to see that overnight, California&#8217;s high-speed rail enterprise had grown by 100 miles. Quentin Kopp, chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority&#8217;s governing board, penned an op-ed in the Sacramento Bee responding to  the paper&#8217;s editorial raising questions about the authority&#8217;s baby. To be fair, I&#8217;ll start by quoting the usual [...]]]></description>
