Subject: Paul Weyrich, Heritage Foundation founder bites the dust

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Weyrich
In the 1970s Mr. Weyrich co-founded the theocratic far-right Heritage Foundation and became one of the chief architects of the Reagan counterrevolution. I can't say I'll miss him much.
Upon Weyrich's passing, I will pay him a compliment for his consistent support of mass transit in contrast to his right-wing cronies.
Via Wiki:
Unlike many of his allies on the U.S. political right, Weyrich had a long history of ardent support for rail mass transit, although unlike those allies, he opposed bus transit. FCF publishes a newsletter on trolley and rail systems entitled, The (New) New Electric Railway Journal, and Weyrich wrote numerous op-ed columns in favor of proposed light rail and metro systems. He also served on the national board of Amtrak and the Amtrak Reform Council, as well as on local and regional rail transit advocacy organizations.

I got $10 that says he was a stock holder in either a railroad, or a company that sells rail equipment.

One less "right-wing" blowhard we have to deal with. Wonder if he'll be hanging out with Reagan and Jessie Helm?
