Off The Internet — Amish And The Elevator

Courtesy of Andrew Schiavello
A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father from Lancaster found themselves in the King of Prussia Mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny,  silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, ‘What is this Father?’
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, ‘Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don’t know what it is.’
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old  lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a  button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a  small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially.
They continued to watch until it reached the last number… and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blond stepped out.
The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son…..
 
‘Go get your Mother’

Pa. GOP Pondering Forgoing Electoral College

The bill has 34 co-sponsors, 24 of whom are Democrats.

The abolition of the Electoral College is a pet project of  George Soros.

Bills Would Strengthen Veterans Preference Laws

Members of the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee held a public hearing in Harrisburg last week to study two bills to strengthen veterans preference laws in public sector employment, according to state Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) 

House Bill 1092 would create the Office of Veterans Advocate to assist veterans who experience problems with veterans preference, civil service appointments and post-deployment civilian employment. House Bill 1152 would reform, strengthen and clarify the use of veterans preference in the public sector. 

Late last year, lawmakers passed a veterans preference bill that Gov. Tom Corbett signed into law. Act 76 of 2011 requires at least one member of the State Civil Service Commission be a veteran.
