The one cool thing that can really come of this is the fact that Buffet is a huge believer and fan of high-speed rail, and since BNSF owns shitloads of rail lines across the country, there's certainly some potential to be had... Of course, he'd be about 144 years old by the time any infrastructure like that could be completed, but still, good times. #trendwatch

Both of the original pre-merger railroads - Burlington Northern and Santa Fe - had extensive long-distance passenger operations. Some of those tracks still exist, but a lot don't, and even those that do wouldn't really be a useful upgrade to HSR right now. It's a great pie-in-the-sky ideal to think about a high speed line running from Chicago-Los Angeles, but you gotta run before you can walk, and the corridors that everybody's talking about for HSR - California, Florida, the NEC, and somewhere around Chicago aren't BNSF territory. #moneymatters

In short, Buffet is a fucking genius. Fuel costs aren't going down, yet freight still needs to move. BNSF is a great company and if they can straighten out the kinds of problems ALL railroad companies have (customer service, on-time delivery, etc.) they'll be a profit-making business for many many years to come. #trendwatch

Excuse me, I need to introduce some bad-assery here for the sake of us all--everyone seems soooo frightened of losing their precious stars and as such shun any hint of dissent. Lame. What's the fun of Gawker if you stifle intelligent polemic?

* "As the sole proprieter of Jackson's only assassination attempt, I wouldn't expect Jackson to be anything but a Coke fan, either."

*Lukas Haas, not "Lucas Haas"
* "the shit? blow?" not "the shit? Blow?" (Jerze housewives item)

Because he's a nice Jewish boy, FK issued a fund-raising challenge in honor of the Rosh Hashanah weekend; he'll donate $5 to a NYC charity for every typo/error pointed out to him.
