Is there really a "Powerful Amtrak Lobby" behind the rail spending?

This is from The Onion, of all places. A little late, but I didn't expect it when I read it.

:wtf:

1. that Onion series is to spoof the right-wingers

I've seen the cranky dude in the lower right corner before.

I don't doubt the GOPers love it and send it around though.

2. I just started subscribing to the printed edition.

That one totally went over my head.

6. I'm sure there are GOPers who genuinely enjoy it whether they know it's satire or not

I actually wish The Onion would be either more over the top or less convincingly liberal-hating with that one.

I used to read their site often but the world has gotten too weird (sounds like the onion too much) and sometimes they're not funny to me (some of their Obama spoof stuff cuts too close to me given how many wackos hate Obama)

3. That looks like a spoof

Esp if it's in The Onion.

4. happens every issue

check out theonion.com and look through their cartoon archives. 90% of the time they harpoon a liberal/left issue, it's kinda their trademark. i love the onion, but the cartoons are usually a let down.

5. I sure the hell hope so.

I love Amtrak... AND The Onion. :rofl:
