Our View I New rail service has a downside
The Odessa plan sits within Amtrak’s broader push for profitability amid heavy federal subsidies. Congress aims to end federal funding by 2003, risking a costly subsidy for a service expected to remain unprofitable. The Odessa project could hinge on taxpayer dollars and broader political decisions. A careful study is urged before local funds are committed.

Unholy war in the GOP by Cal Thomas
Cal Thomas argues that McCain's attack on Falwell and Robertson deepens a culture war within the GOP. He says religious conservatives risk alienation, potential third-party votes, and Democrat gains if the campaign divides along faith lines. Thomas warns against church politicization and cites Colson on compromising gospel aims for power.
