(102,817 posts)regarding rail and road transport because that bad train wreck outside of Fargo left oily soot all over his yard in Detroit Lakes, MN.

He had Josh Fox on tonight and he didn't like what was being said so he shut him down, more politely than Billo's style but he still shut the guy down when he called Ed out on his reference material.
Ed's fallen off the cliff and is acting like a total shill on this one, which is sad because he is usually pretty good about most other issues.

As an afterthought, because he is having a brief conversation each night with some very credible opponents, is possibly reverse psychology if it's true that he was warned not to advocate against it. That would be one way of getting around him advocating against it himself while having very credible opponents do the advocating in a "fair and balanced" discussion as it were.
