Pat Meehan’s Constituent Conference Call

Kudos to Congressman Pat Meehan for the innovated conference call he just completed (noon, July 20) with residents of his PA7 district wisely avoiding gatekeepers with a well-deserved reputation for hostility to conservatives.

Among the many issues Meehan touched upon was the way unnecessary and counter-productive over-regulation from Washington is destroying Delaware County refineries and Chester County pharmaceutical firms.

It doesn’t help Mother Earth any for our oil to be refined in Nigeria rather than Marcus Hook.

Farewell, Borders

Farewell, Borders — Borders Group Inc., which is the nation’s second largest bookstore chain, cannot not find a buyer and is going to liquidate.

It’s a shame as it has dramatically improved over the last year but creative destruction happens.

Not that that’s going to make any better the feelings of the chain’s 10,700 workers who will be added to the rolls of the unemployed in these Obama years.
