We’ve been honey badgered judging by some our latest comments.
The phrase “honey badger don’t care” has become a bit an internet meme and stems from this video about the honey badger.
It very well might be the funniest thing on the entire web. If you should click on it, be warned that the language does get a bit foul.
10 States That Can’t Pay The Tax Bill — Reader TomC sent this link to a list of 10 states that can’t pay their tax bills.
Believe it or not Pennsylvania is not on it.
Pennsylvania Pedophilia Plague — Yesterday’s (Jan. 12) revelation by Fox News that Jerry Sandusky was reportedly seen in then President Graham Spanier’s private box at Beaver Stadium just days before he was indicted on 40 counts of molesting young boys makes it worthwhile to mention the plague of pedophilia that is infecting the respected institutions of the state of Pennsylvania.
Sandusky was said to have been seen being hosted by Spanier on Oct. 29 at the Penn State-Illinois game in which Joe Paterno won his record 409th victory. This would have been after the Grand Jury testimony of several Penn Staters of which it is laughable to think that Spanier was unaware. Sandusky was indicted on Nov. 4.
Then there was the case of Charles Koons 2d, who pleaded guilty in February 2010 of molesting numerous boys at The Milton Hershey School. As in the Sandusky case, the matter was reported to local police in 1998 but dropped after an investigation.
And, of course, there is the matter of John T. Neisworth, a highly acclaimed special education professor at Penn State, who was accused by Paul McLauglin of being part of trio who molested him in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
McLaughlin called Neisworth in 2001 and confronted him with what he did. He taped the call without Neisworth’s knowledge and said that Neisworth on his own brought up specific instances of the molestation.
He sent the tapes to Penn State officials in 2001 and 2002 and was accused of an extortion attempt. He said he directly called Spanier who also angrily rebuffed him. He said this call would have occurred about two weeks after the 2002 incident involving Sandusky had been reported to university officials.
Something is seriously wrong in this state. Seriously wrong. It’s as if there was a plague of pedophilia in the state of Pennsylvania.
And what did happen to Ray Gricar and what was on his hard drive?

Freed Last Pub Standing In AG Race — State Sen. John Rafferty has withdrawn from GOP contest to be the party’s Attorney General nominee leaving a clear path for Dave Freed it was reported yesterday.
Freed is the son-in-law of Leroy Zimmerman, who served as the state’ AG from 1981 through 1989.
Zimmerman, however, most recently was chairman of the scandal-plagued Hershey Trust Co., a post from which the weight of those scandals forced him to leave last November.
I see myself splitting the ticket for a Dem this fall.

This traditional soup, with prunes included in the ingredients, is mentioned as early as the 16th century. Elsie often serves it on St Andrew’s Night Dinner (30 November) and often in winter. Elsie believes that prunes are good for you and your constitution. You should eat a lot of them.
Here is her recipe:
Ingredients: 1 3-lb chicken, about 1lb leeks cleaned and cut into 1-inch pieces 2 quarts of water 1oz long grained rice 4oz cooked, stoned prunes One teaspoon brown sugar Salt and pepper Garni of bay leaf, parsley, and thyme.
Method: Put the chicken in a large soup and cover with water. Bring to the boil and remove any scum. Add three-quarters of the leeks, (green as well as white sections), herbs (tied together in a bundle), salt and pepper and return to the boil. Simmer gently for 2-3 hours, adding more water if necessary.
Remove the bird. Some thrifty chefs use the bird as another course, others cut the meat into small pieces and add them back to the soup (certainly it should have some pieces of chicken in it when served). Add the rice and drained prunes and the remaining leeks and simmer for another 30 minutes. Check for flavour and serve with a little chopped parsley.
Serves 6/8 people.
Delaware County Real Estate News has been updated.
New transfers, compiled by Pattie Price, have been added for Aldan, Aston, Bethel, Brookhaven, Chadds Ford, Chester Heights and Clifton Heights.
How accurate is it? How fair is it? It certainly is cutting and Romney better come up with some answers to the claims made or he could actually lose to President Zero.
He could start by releasing his income tax statements.
Hopefully he’s not the nominee.
If he is, well, I’d vote for Bernie Madoff over Obama so . . .
