Springfield Road Curb Cuts

Springfield Road Curb CutsSpringfield Road Curb Cuts — The curb cuts installed on Springfield Road in Springfield, Pa. back in the early ’90s to assist those in wheelchairs in accordance with the American With Disabilities Act  are now (April 2012) being ripped up at much expense and disruption so “tactile detectable warning” tiles can be added for blind people using canes.

This isn’t going to make it easier for those in wheelchairs and one suspects that the vast majority of blind people — like the vast majority of Americans — would rather our budget deficits be address rather than create expensive feel-good, make-work projects.

Wyoming Ponders Aircraft Carrier

Wyoming Ponders Aircraft Carrier — With the Wyoming oil boom in full swing, the state is pondering what steps to take should there be a complete  breakdown of the rest of these United States.

The state legislature passed Friday, Feb. 24, a first reading of House Bill 85 that would create a government continuity task force to investigate as to how the state should prepare for potential catastrophes.

Among the things to be considered are an alternative currency, a military draft and the raising of a standing army, and the acquisition of strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier.

Don’t ask. I don’t know. I’m just reporting what was reported.

How many readers out there know that Wyoming is named for a part of Pennsylvania?

Gertrude of Wyoming by Scotsman Thomas Campbell, the hit poem of 1809, is set there.

It would actually be kind of scary if Luzerne County got an aircraft carrier.

High School Diploma Requirement Might Violate Fed Law

High School Diploma Requirement Might Violate Fed Law

Happy New Year business owners.

In its continuing crusade to discourage entrepreneurship and keep competents from returning to the workforce, the Obama-packed Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has aired the opinion that requiring a high school diploma may violate the American With Disabilities Act.

The “informal discussion letter”  posted on the EEOC’s website, Dec. 1, says businesses may be lawbreakers  if a high school diploma  requirement “‘screens out’ an individual who is unable to graduate because of a learning disability”.

That’s right! If you greedy pigs won’t hire someone who can’t be taught by the “caring professionals” of our educational establishment, Obama is going to bring down his mighty sword of justice on your head.

You’ve been warned.

Arlen Specter Bill Clinton Joke Was On Us

On the Third Day of Christmas (Dec. 27), the former senator who resided in Pennsylvania but represented himself for 30 years took to the stage of the Helium Comedy Club in Philadelphia to really let we Keystone Staters know what kind of cue balls we have been. Bill Clinton Portrait Arlen Specter Bill Clinton Joke Was On Us

“I’ve been in comedy for 30 years,” Arlen Specter  told the crowd. “The only difference is it’s not stand up, we all have comfortable chairs. It costs about $27 million to win a seat in the United States Senate, so when you win one you like to sit down. It’s sit-down comedy.”

Hey, it wasn’t your money Arlen and the people who spent it got what they paid for in most cases.

“Bill Clinton is a friend of mine because I was a friend of his,” he joshed. “I voted not to impeach him. And that’s a hell of a thing to do considering the evidence.”

So much for “Scottish law”.

Well, the joke was on us.

Let us know when you do a magic bullet act. I’ll pay to see that.

 

World War Z Looms

World War Z Looms — It’s not the walking dead that we must fear, but the talking dead.

Dutch television presenters Valerio Zeno and Dennis Storm are scheduled to be seen eating each others’ flesh tonight, Dec. 21, on Guinea Pigs, a “science program” that airs in that nation.

The program has been pre-recorded so the meal has already taken place.  The men are dressed before a table covered with white linen on which is placed a candelabra and wine. A chef cooks the flesh — a piece of Storm’s buttock and a chunk of Zeno’s abdomen — in sunflower oil, which the men eat.

World War Z looms. Keep your powder dry and your cellar stocked.

Wisconsin D.A. Charges Child With Sex Crime

Wisconsin D.A. Charges Child With Sex Crime — Lisa Riniker, the district attorney of Grant County, Wisconsin, has been named in a federal lawsuit alleging that she, among other things, improperly tried to coerce a statement of guilt from a six-year-old boy whom she charged with first-degree sexual assault after playing “doctor” with two 5-year-old friends.

“She bypassed the parents and sent a 6-year-old boy a summons, on which is a threat that the 6-year-old will go to jail for failure to appear,” said Christopher Cooper, one of the attorneys representing the boy’s parents.

Ms. Rinker is quoted in the lawsuit as saying “the Legislature could have put an age restriction in the statute … the legislature did no such thing.”

The biggest threat this nation faces is not Islamic terrorism, China, global warming, illegal aliens or an EMP attack but the extremely large number of really stupid, callous people who have acquired power and authority far beyond their level of competency.
