Much as I despise Charlie Rangel I don't have any issue with him going Acela first class. It's like $100 for the upgrade - not like a $10000 first class plane ticket.

Agreed. If he were flying I'd be pretty annoyed, but the train...meh.

I'd have a problem if I was in the same car: Rangel turns any First Class Section into the baggage compartment.

"President Obama's appearance gave The Tonight Show its largest audience in years. NBC programming head Ben Silverman said it was 'awesome.'"

Awesome! what a tool.

At least someone is riding the Acela.
