That's the characterization of the Anaheim-to-Vegas mag-lev train purveyed by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, whose rote recital of stale policy nostrums and stilted, faux-folksy delivery have already been likened to Kenneth the page from 30 Rock. (For me the big laugh line -- delivered with intensely furrowed brow -- was, "Never forget: We.ARE.Americans." No? Really? Get outta here!)
So it appears the high-speed rail line is to going to replace the Mob Museum as the new inside-the-Beltway pincushion of choice. Because facilitating access to two our country's leading tourism destinations is so un-American and suchlike. Then again, Jindal opposed the ballot initiative that paved the way for Pinnacle Entertainment's Porte Cochere project in Baton Rouge, so his hosannas to enterprise capitalism need to be taken with a few grains of salt. It looks like we're dealing with another case of Coburn Syndrome here.
Also, on a personal note, what parallel universe does Jindal inhabit in which decisions about medical care "are made by doctors and patients"? Many's been the time when the methods my doctor could prescribe or the number of treatments I could receive (such as acupuncture for my fibromyalgia) were second-guessed or circumscribed by some pencil-pushing dweeb at an HMO. But since Jindal is big into faith healing, I'm guessing he doesn't figure we need that fancy-pants science-y type of curing anyway.

idea, then it would of been built a long time ago.
Their business is business, and if the cost of your treatments diminishes their profits, or the CEO's compensation, they HAVE TO cut you loose from the so-called contract. Good luck & goodbye... but make sure you're up-to-date with your premiums, or they'll come after your estate!
