Are we still moving ahead with the new light rail system, then?

April 30, 2009

If so, Vice President Joe Biden isn’t helping:

Vice president Joe Biden said today he would tell his family members not to use subways in the U.S. and implied schools should be shuttered as the swine flu outbreak spread to 11 states and forced school closures amid confirmation of the first U.S. death.

I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now,” Biden said when asked whether he would advise family members to use public transportation.

Biden made his comments during a brief interview on NBC’s “Today” show during an interview with Matt Lauer.

I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now. It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s you’re in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That’s me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation suggesting they ride the subway. ”

Way to shut down New York City, there, Joe.

    If a butterfly sneezes in Borneo…[chaotic yada, yada, yada]… Chupacabra Flu in Mexico.

    If’n an earthworm farts in Zimbabwe…[chaotic yada, yada, yada]…Joe Biden speaks on the Today Show.

    It is a little ironic that Biden says this a couple of days after Air Force 1 buzzed the city. This administration really is out to get New York.
