Train, Train…lord take me on out of this town…
Train, Train…lord take me on out of this town…
That woman I’m in love with…lord I’m Sacramento bound…
The song Train Train, originally written by Shorty Medlock and covered by rock group Warrant, was actually about a romance in Memphis. The Sacramento Queen don’t live there. She sure don’t.
I am taking a train all the way from Los Angeles to Sacramento to see the woman and meet more of the fam.
For those who remember the song “My baby wrote me a letter,” this guy said to “give me a ticket for an aeroplane…ain’t got time to take a fast train.”
Well I am not spending $300 for a one hour flight. The airline industry are a bunch of crooks. Spare me the hard luck economy rebuttal. Airlines have always, and will always, suck.
So I am hopping all aboard Amtrak, since the Orient Express, by definition alone, does not begin or end in Los Angeles.
I have a buddy who works for Amtrak, and it seems to be one of the few public entities that functions properly.
I may stop by the capital to take in some tea parties, but given how broke California is, it may just be a hot water party. I can live with that. I hate tea anyway. The Sacramento Queen likes it, so I will say no more.
For now, I will leave you all with my typical lack of eloquence. I look forward to the day when we can shove Roman Candles up the Mullahs’ hides until they go to the toilet red, white, and blue. Then just to show my Jewish pride, hanging Israeli flags from their genitals would be a nice way to introduce them to Little Satan.
I shall continue to cling to my guns and my religion, although I am not sure they are allowed on the train. After all, Amtrak is a government entity, and religion is expressly forbidden in the bloodthirsty quest to inflict secularism everywhere. I heard that atheists were running around stamping the letter “N” (for non-believer) on the forehead of religious people in the name of religious people.
Anyway, I have plenty of other musings on this multi-hour train ride. Most of the time I will be thinking that airline executives should all be jailed.
Then I will drift off into what I usually think about…hamburgers and hot dogs.
I look forward to a healthy taste of freedom this weekend, and thank almighty God for shedding Grace on America.
Actually, as Ray Charles said, God done shed his grace on thee.
Have a safe and sane weekend all.
Then show up on time to work Monday.
After all, we are not lazy Europeans. We are Americans.
The Tygrrrr Express is now Sacramento Bound

I hate the airline industry too. And thank God there’s a conservative out there with the good sense to applaud Amtrak and take the train!
I love that whole “cling to guns and religion” thing. It’s sooooo funny. I mean, all the major religions call for peace and nonviolence and here are these Christians – and a handful of Jews – brimming with pride at their “clinging to guns and religion.” It’s absolutely no different than the radical Muslims who call for violent jihad in the name of a religion in which peace is held as the highest moral. Same goofy irony, same complete obliviousness to it.
