Comments on: Random Observations on a train without an observation car http://blogs.e-rockford.com/sweenyreport/2008/09/28/random-observations-on-a-train-without-an-observation-car/ The Sweeny Report takes you into the murky world of local, state and national politics. Political Editor Chuck Sweeny will try to de-mystify things for you -- once he figures it out himself, that is.

Unfortunately for mainstream voters in Illinois, the corrupt political system of Chicago controls the state. I think back about my days in Illinois. What did Obama ever to for us except blow $50 million with William Ayers on some failed radical school reforms?

It's too bad public transportation can't come close to those standards. One of the nicest rail systems I’ve ever been on, is the Disney World monorail system.

I love train rides, but haven't been on one since 1966 when I rode the City of New Oleans to Fort Polk, LA after I received my draft notice. I especially enjoyed the conversations he recorded with his fellow travelers. Ain't America great?! Mr. Sweeny’s City of New Orleans’ blog was very enjoyable.

But, having been to New Orleans many times and I visit the Zoo everytime I am down there, I felt that your readers from Northern Illinois should know the proper title for the Zoo.

That's how we got Autobahn in there. Such a zoo would have featured animals racing around on four-lane freeways in Munich. Of course the New Orleans zoo is the Audubon Zoo, and I've corrected the postings to say so.
