MagLevs to Disneyland!

To hear it from Bobby Jindal, Comrade Obama is going to spend all your money on some newfangled magneto-electric trains:

It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a "magnetic levitation" line from Las Vegas to Disneyland, and $140 million for something called "volcano monitoring." Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C.

Now, I'm sure Mr. Jindal doesn't get out much or perhaps even watch our electronic televisual screens and what have you, but someone should inform him that the fracking Chinese already have the "magnetic levitation" lines of which he speaks, and that $8b couldn't build a maglev from Disneyland's parking structure to Katella Ave., much less to Las Vegas.

Oh, and while they're at it, they also ought to mention to him that if he and his lovely family ever want to visit Hawaii or hang with fellow religious nut Sarah Palin, someone will need to monitor the frackin' volcanoes.
