DOOOOOM!!!

So the Chicago Transit Authority has been rather loudly singing the sad sack tale of woe that they're not getting enough money to operate the commuter bus and rail system in the city of Chicago. Never mind for the minute that they get massive piles of cash already put on them, they charge a reasonably high fare (very reasonable at this point) so money is coming in. Now, to stop this current DOOOOOOM problem, Los Federales has rolled up the commemorative dollar dozer and offloaded a cool &70 million or so. One would think that ought to be pretty good news... After all you're dealing with a transportation system who's riders pay a fare, right?

Nope. Thanks to the 56 or 70 million they got, they now have pushed the DOOOOOOOMMsday clock to New Years. Yes, folks. THIS new years.

So, my open letter to the CTA is, what in the name of Sweet Baby Jesus are you going to spend $70mil on in 2 months and be in a situation where you STILL cannot function properly come new years day 2008?

I'd pontificate on this more, but I just took an Ambian, and it is starting to kick in, so my ability to make any sort of logical sense ends here... Happy reading.. Good night.

Let Sal the Bookie know we're onto him, eh?
