Patriots Popular At Springfield Parade

Patriots Popular At Springfield Parade

Among the 25-member Delaware County Patriots contingent in Springfield Pa.’s belated Independence Day parade, today, July 5, were (from left) Bill Reil, Dolly Connelly,  Agnes Trouillet, Bill Connelly and Whitey Coyne.

The weather was perfect and the crowd was enthusiastic. The Tea Party group got quite a number of cheers as it  passed out copies of the Bill of Rights and rub-on tattoos with only one angry elderly woman making a disparaging comment at the end.

Agnes, who is from France, is writing a thesis on the Tea Party movement for the University of Paris.

Springfield Police, Wrong Ways, Right Directions

A particular traffic pattern at Springfield and Rolling roads in Springfield, Pa. is confusing and often leads to drivers taking the wrong turn.

One did, today, only to find himself facing a local policeman coming in the opposite direction. The car came to a stop, the officer pulled alongside and a short discussion took place through open windows.

The policeman then pulled away, the driver did a u-turn and matter ended. No ticket.

And that’s how law enforcement is supposed to be.

Dems Tap Lefty La Salle Prof Against Pat Meehan

Springfield Republican Party Chairman Mike Puppio announced at last night’s (Feb. 19) campaign kick-off meeting that the Democrats have tapped La Salle University political science professor Mary Ellen Balchunis-Harris to take on incumbent Republican Pat Meehan in Pennsylvania’s 7th District congressional race.

Visit here to see what Ms. Balchunis-Harris’ students say about her.

Also, Puppio noted that the race to fill the 26th District state senate seat being vacated by Republican Ted Erickson is expected to turn out to be the most expensive state senate race in Pennsylvania’s history.

County Council Chairman Tom McGarrigle, a Springfield mechanic who worked his way up to owning his own garage, will be the GOP nominee.

He is endorsed by the party and does not appear to have a primary opponent.

BAM Bookstore Discovery

Went to the Springfield Mall, today, for the first time in ages and found a bookstore. BAM or Books-A-Million can be found near the Macy’s end.

I meet Kerri (I think) and a lady whose name I won’t even try to guess at. Both were nice and helpful. They said they had been in the mall for about a year, albeit they never had a grand opening. They said they are doing well.

I found some neat books and will be returning.

For the Legend of Abd-el-Kader and a recipe for baba ghanoush, which goes great with Cryptowit Quote Puzzles, visit here.

Ex-ACORN Director Is County Council Candidate

The Delaware County (Pa.) Democrats have picked Chester City’s former director of ACORN  as one of its candidates for County Council, and the GOP is shouting it loud and proud, albeit the woman in question not necessarily so. Ex-ACORN Director Is County Council Candidate

It was most recently noted at tonight’s, Sept. 18, meeting of the Springfield Republicans by party Chairman Mike Puppio

Patricia Worrell has not been referring to that bit of her life in either her campaign literature or public statements. She has also not been boasting about her job with Action United, which succeeded ACORN after it was implicated in shameless vote fraud.

Chester, it should be noted, was one of the places where ACORN was caught tilting the scales.

Ms. Worrell is running — here’s  a bit of irony — with Bill Clinton, albeit this one is an Upper Providence Councilman and has never been accused of raping anyone in an Arkansas hotel, albeit he has been a strong supporter of tax hikes in his township, according to Puppio.

Their opponents are incumbents Mario Civera Jr. and David J. White, who are basing their campaign on their record of saving the Delaware River refineries and keeping the county pension plan solvent which is actually a pretty significant achievement considering what has been going on in the rest of the state.

Puppio noted tonight that apart from the natural gas counties, Delco has the best employment record in the state.
