"Elite" Qualifications

The folks on the left are discrediting Sarah Palin because she only had a degree from a state university and no outstanding academic credentials. Elite degrees and high profile positions and smooth political campaigns do not automatically indicate one’s ability to succeed in a new and different challenge. Obama has not proven he is ready for the presidency any more than I had my readiness for the pulpit. He may be, but it is yet to be determined. Thus I assert that his associations and advisors are indicators of how he will govern.

Galveston Rail

A study released today indicates that a commuter rail line from Galveston to Houston would cost around $450 million dollars to implement, using existing routes and rails with upgrades. A Two lane bus route for that corridor would cost $2.2 billion. The rail would relieve the traffic on the freeway and reduce emissions significantly. The proposal will be given to political entities beginning today. It seems a no brainer to me.

That is why I am worried as it is given to the politicians!
