From the 'typical government problem analysis SNAFU' department: L-E headline/story: "As MARTA cuts, more passengers hit the road * Scaling back services and rasing (sic) prices lead to lower ridership * But the ridership decrease still cuts into MARTA’s fare revenue, not to mention that it flies in the face of the region’s attempts to decrease traffic congestion by providing options. * Because of the spiral effect where service cuts cause more losses of revenue, MARTA would probably have to eliminate about half of all its service to completely close the gap, MARTA CEO Beverly Scott has said." -- Bet one thing that won't get cut is executive salaries.

One way to cut the damages of a 'lame duck' Congress would be to revoke the voting rights of all Congresspersons who either did not run for re-election, or were defeated in the election. The voters have already spoken on the opinion of the non-re-electeds' voting records.

It's tough getting interesting news using the L-E as a main resource.

Online headline: "2010's Worst Disasters in Photos" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought we'd see a political map of the DUMB&DUMBERat November massacre.
