Hillary To Hide In South Pacific For DNC

Hillary Clinton will not be in Charlotte, N.C. for the Democratic National Convention, Sept. 3-6.

She will be doing very important Secretary of State stuff in the Cook Islands which are somewhere in the South Pacific. 
It is self-evident to any thinking person why it is imperative that we maintain our good relations with the Cook Islands. 
Perhaps, Cook Islanders have the quite reasonable fear that our President may try to give them to Argentina as he did the Maldives
Or maybe they are just concerned about our Navy making them capsize.
In a totally unrelated matter, have you seen how the Kennedys now hate the Obamas?

Romney’s Speech

For the record, the GOP convention was a well-done, smooth running event that can only help them. 

Romney’s speech was a home run that should alleviate the concerns of all who had doubts about him — conservatives and independents alike.

Romney gets what is wrong with this country. 

Fish For Free On Monday

State residents and visitors looking to enjoy a weekend of fishing and outdoor activities can fish for free on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3, according to State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) 

The Labor Day Fish for Free Day marks the second of two free fishing days in the Commonwealth sponsored by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). Fish for Free Days allow anyone, both residents and non-residents, to legally fish in Pennsylvania all day without a fishing license. All other fishing regulations apply. 

The Big Boom

Recently, I heard this remark: “What is it with your generation?” I have a problem with labels, and this is one I especially get revved up about.
I never considered myself a member of a ‘generation.’ I was once doing a newspaper column about the deteriorating health of the Baby-Boomer Generation. The physical therapist I was talking to found out that I was born during World War Two and said, “Oh, you’re a Baby-Boomer too.”
That stopped things dead in their tracks. “No,” I replied, “I was born during the war, so I can’t be a member of the Post-War-Baby-Boom, which is of course how that generation gets its name.”
Well, she said it didn’t matter—I was still a Baby-Boomer. “Now wait a minute,” I said (I told you the interview stopped dead). “It’s called the Post-War Boom for a reason—because it took place after the War. I was born during the War.”
Close enough, she said.
Sorry, I guess that’s why I’m a writer. Words—and the phrases they construct—are important to me. I am not (cannot) be a member of the Baby-Boom Generation. And by now, you’ve probably become quite aware that this is a sore point with me.
I don’t like being categorized—in any way. I’m not a member of the Greatest Generation, nor a Boomer, a Gen-xer, a Gen-yer, a Gen-zer…I’m me. And therein lies the root of a problem in our culture. People have to be pigeonholed—branded. And why? So we can be targeted by a marketing campaign.

Honor Flight Philly Needs Flag Wavers To Greet Vets

Honor Flight Philadelphia’s fourth trip will return to St. Luke’s Greek Orthodox Church, 35 Malin Road, Broomall, Pa. 19008 at 6:30 p.m., Sept. 9.
Four busloads of World War II veterans and their guardians will be arriving from a day of honor in Washington D.C. A crowd of flag wavers is being sought to great them. Just show up. The flags will be provided. A bugler, Boy Scouts, honor guards, sports mascots and fire engines are also expected to be participating in the greeting.
It will be fun and fulfilling for the family.
The average age of a surviving World War II veteran is about 90.
Honor Flight is a national organization created in 2005 to provide a day of recognition for veterans. There is no cost to the veteran. World War II and terminally ill veterans are given a priority to participate.
The Philadelphia hub was started in 2011 by Andrew Schiavello of Springfield.

Dems Expose Racists Roots When Things Don’t Go Their Way

Mia Love, the black woman who is mayor of Saratoga Springs Utah and is seeking the congressional seat now held by six-term Democrat Jim Matheson, had her Wikipedia entry vandalized soon after she made her rousing, and conservative, speech at the Republican National Convention last night (Aug. 28).

What was placed in it were the vilest racist and sexist phrases.  We won’t repeat them. If you want to see them, click on the link.
And it wasn’t conservatives or Republicans doing it.

Confusion About Small Games Of Chance Act Changes

The House Gaming Oversight Committee held an informational meeting in Harrisburg last week with the state police’s Bureau of Liquor Code Enforcement (LCE) to clear up the misinformation and confusion that have resulted from recent updates to the state’s Small Games of Chance Act, according to State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

Although the LCE specifically enforces the Small Games of Chance law for nonprofit organizations that also hold liquor licenses, the information presented also benefits other community groups that offer raffles, drawings and other small games of chance, such as fire companies, fair associations and sports boosters.

The meeting was based on an informational workshop the bureau has held in various regions of the Commonwealth to educate nonprofit organizations about changes in the law and to update them on the original Small Games of Chance law.

The LCE reported that the majority of questions posed by nonprofit groups – such as which games are permitted under the law – deal with the original act and not the changes made by Act 2 of 2012.

Updates made to the law last year increased prize limits and payouts and also allows nonprofit groups, such as VFW and American Legion posts, to retain 30 percent for operating expenses with 70 percent for public interest purposes.

Dinner with the Redhead:

A man was dining alone in a fancy restaurant and there was a

gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table..He had been checking

her out since he sat down, but lacked the nerve to talk with her.

Suddenly she sneezed, and her glass eye came flying out of its socket towards the man.

He reflexively reached out, grabbed it out of the air, and handed it back.

‘Oh my, I am so sorry,’ the woman said, as she popped her eye back in place. ‘Let

me buy your dinner to make it up to you.’

They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together  and afterwards they went to the theatre,

followed by coffee at the local donut shop……

They talked, they laughed, she shared her deepest dreams and he shared his. 

She listened to him with interest.

After her paying for everything, he asked her to go out the next night.

So, they went out again the next evening. They had a wonderful, wonderful time.

Then the next night she cooked a gourmet meal with all the trimmings.

The guy was amazed. Everything had been so incredible!

‘You know,’ he said, ‘you are the perfect woman.. Are you this nice

to every guy you meet?’

“No,” she replies. . ….

Wait for it …..              …..

It’s coming              …… ….

The suspense is killing you, isn’t it?

She said              …. ….. :

‘You just happened to catch my eye.’
