Really great stuff, we're very excited about his work and it's so good to get the word out in such a respected political forum (that's also funny).

For additional transportation geekiness, here's a blog from our Executive Director, Rob Sadowsky about his recent meeting with Secretary LaHood (includes some local perspective):

Also, Ray LaHood's recent blog: http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/thank-you-mr-secretaryray

PS: Beyond talking tough on distracted driving and new transportation opportunities/options, how about his Chicago-style "Lookit" in the middle of the interview??

PPS: OK, Peoria-style.

For a while, I thought you were commenting ("that's also funny") on your own wittiness. Then it dawned on me that you actually believe that the Daily show is "such a respected political forum" and it is "also funny". Now *that* is funny ;)
