John Quigg
Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.) became the oldest person to have a Billboard Top 40 hit with “Gallant Men” on Jan. 7, 1967. He was 71 years.
He would lose the title two years later to Moms Mabley who was 75 when her cover of “Abraham, Martin and John” hit 35 on July 19. 1969. Ironically, that was just one day after John’s brother drove a car off a bridge and let a woman drown.
Here is Dirkson’s hit song “Gallant Men”:
Superior Court Primary Fight Looming? — With the last-minute insertion and subsequent endorsement of Megan King into the Pennsylvania Superior Court race, a potential Republican primary battle looms.
Two seats are being contested for 10-year terms on the court which is the intermediate appellate court for most matters in the state. The primary election is May 21.
Ms. King is a political neophyte. Her only public jobs have been as Chester County deputy district attorney (March 2015 to present), two stints as Lancaster County assistant district attorney, and state Supreme Court law clerk (1998-2001). All are unelected positions.
Anyway, the powers-that-be in the GOP drafted her after party choice Kate Harper was crushed in the state caucus straw polls losing handily to Cumberland County Common Pleas Court Judge Christylee Peck and former Montour County District Attorney Rebecca Warren.
On Saturday, she along with straw poll winner Peck were endorsed by the GOP State Committee. GOP politics just repeats itself over and over in this state. We’ll let someone else point out the Groundhog Day irony.
The suspicion is that Ms. King will be a good girl and do as she is told by special interests — that’s you Stradley Ronon. Why else would Ms. Warren, who finished a solid second in the straw poll, be pushed out? Why else would state representatives and congressmen and Matt Brouillette twist arms hard for Ms. King?
Could it be that they fear Ms. Warren would not be a good girl?
Anyway, a little birdie told us that Ms. Warren was given the opportunity to address the committee after the vote on the condition she not enter the primary. She declined. She was reportedly overheard to say “I guess we will have to see what happens in May.”

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit quote puzzle: When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.

So, how did groundhogs get their reputation as forecasters of spring? Male groundhogs leave their burrows in February to look for a female’s burrow and move in upon finding one. It’s just to introduce themselves. The mating doesn’t start until spring.
GOP Establishment Endorses Novice For Superior Court — Playing games as they play games, the Pennsylvania Republican Party twisted enough arms this morning (Feb 2) to get a a woman of little experience endorsed for state Superior Court in the May 21 primary.
Megan King, a Chester County deputy district attorney — note that’s DEPUTY district attorney — was a last minute replacement for establishment favorite former state rep Kate Harper who dropped out after being overwhelmingly rejected in the caucus straw polls.
Ms. King had been considering a run for county Common Pleas Court until a panicked establishment drafted her for the state post. She has never held elected office.
Also getting endorsed by the State Committee was Cumberland County Common Pleas Court Judge Christylee Peck, who was the top vote-getter in the straw polls.
Two seats are being contested for 10-year terms on the court which is theintermediate appellate court for most matters in the state.
Not getting the endorsement was much admired, woman-of-the-people Rebecca Warren, a highly regarded former Montour County District Attorney.
Ms. Warren had finished second in the straw polls.
We will note that endorsements aren’t the final say and encourage all Republicans to vote for Ms. Peck and Ms. Warren in May.
This morning’s committee vote was reportedly 261 for Peck; 223 for King; and 131 for Warren.
Pennsylvania Non Citizen Voters Confirmed At 11,198 — The Democrat Wolf Administration has confirmed that 11,198 non-citizens are registered to vote in Pennsylvania.
Whether they have in recent elections has yet to be ascertained.
Gov. Wolf fought to release the information until finally succumbing to the persistence of State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-12).
Still, the information was not released until after the November election.
Metcalfe is demanding that they be immediately removed from the voter rolls. That this didn’t happen automatically is remarkable.
