Obama Admin JV Team

President Obama in January compared the terrorist group Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS) to a JV team wearing the uniforms of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Yesterday, Aug. 22, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said regarding ISIS: They are beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. This is beyond anything we have seen, and we must prepare for everything. And the only way you do that is that you take a cold, steely hard look at it and get ready.

It appears the JV team wearing the Lakers uniform was not in the Mideast.

A year from now there will hardly be a person in the nation who will admit to having voted for this guy.

HB 2443 Tackles Unwanted Telemarketing

State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) reports that legislation was introduced regarding telemarketing to senior citizens.

HB 2443, introduced by Rep. Jesse Topper (R-79)  will require the State Attorney General’s Office to notify the PA Department of Aging, on a monthly basis, of any investigations and enforcement actions taken within the purview of the PA Telemarketer Registration Act when those investigations and enforcement actions involve a consumer who is 60 years of age or older, according to a memorandum describing the bill.

“Although the attorney general’s office does provide information about active scams to the public through the media, the agency only reports detailed investigations and enforcement actions during the preceding fiscal year to the General Assembly,” Cox said. “This legislation would act as an additional tool to communicate to a group that is most often targeted by scams.”

This legislation is expected to be assigned to a committee in the near future, he said.

Caught Every Pokemon

Matthew Sullivan has written an article on Polygon.com in which he boasts about catching all 719 Pokemon.

We say congratulations Matthew.

As pastimes go, it certainly beats robbing convenience  stores.

Matthew says he became hooked shortly before the turn of the Millennium when his mother gave him a Game Boy Pocket to keep him occupied on a trip from New York to Florida.

Again congratulations.
