Advocates for High Speed Rail, especially those that read the independent California High Speed Rail Blog ^[2], have long complained that the Los Angeles Times has it in for what the paper of record constantly refers to as “the Bullet Train.” Indeed, every time I hear KFI conservative shock jocks John and Ken act shocked that a “liberal” paper such as the Times wrote a negative article about CAHSR, I chuckle. Almost all their articles about CAHSR have a negative tilt to them.

And now, the “tsk tsk” ing has spread to the editorial cartoon section. Ted Rall has a quick wit and is a competent enough cartoonist to deliver a punch line that brings a smile and a chuckle. Click on the image for a quick laugh, quite possibly at your own expense.
