Lots of attention paid to Obama Artists Corps proposal

Posted by John Stoehr on Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 12:37 PM

Aggregated by Arts Journal, originated by the Christian Science Monitor:

"Barack Obama enters office with the first-ever presidential arts platform drafted during the campaign. ... Perhaps nothing [in the platform] has attracted as much interest as the proposed Artists Corps, a national service concept that, much like the Peace Corps, would draft legions of young talent into service across the nation's schools and arts organizations."

I would be happy to pay an extra $50 per flight if the Airlines serving Charleston could actually manage to get me where they say they will within an hour of when the say it will happen. All the cancelled flights and missed connections makes the system so unreliable, there is no real certainly when you'll get there. It took 34 hours to fly from Seattle to Charleston in August, with an unplanned overnight stay in Philidelphia at a cost of $225 for taxi, room and meals. What we need is reliable, high speed city center to city center rail service like they have in Europe and Japan. At 200 miles per hour, city center to city center, you can beat the plane on almost any trip under 1000 miles. America once had the world's finest long distance passenger rail system. Now we're too stupic and as of this week, probably too broke, to build the national high speed rail system we need.
