Charges Upheld From Marple Motorcycle Chase

By Pattie Price

Andrew Slater, 21, of Marple, Pa., waived a hearing Thursday, July 12, before Magisterial District Judge Dave Lang on the charges of speeding and fleeing or attempting to elude police. In exchange for the waiver the charge of reckless driving was withdrawn. The charges stem from an incident 9:29p.m., June 27, on Springfield Road at Davis Avenue.

According to the affidavit, Marple Sgt. Tony Colgan was conducting a speed check when three motorcycles traveled through the speed zone. The first motorcycle, operated by Slater, was clocked at 61 mph in a posted 40 mph zone. Colgan caught up to the motorcycles in the 2900 block of Springfield Road. Two of the drivers pulled over and Slater turned into the Sunoco A-Plus. When Colgan turned into the A-Plus, Slater took off at a high rate of speed. He drove over the sidewalk and curb, turned right onto West Chester Pike, hit the curb of the medial strip and lost control and crashed. 

Slater was not injured.  He told police, “That was probably the dumbest thing I have ever done.”

Slater was released and is scheduled for an Aug. 9 arraignment in Common Pleas Court.

Desimone found numerous empty baggies in the car and suspected Heroin and some pills in Ms. Rowan’s purse.

Ms. Rowan was transported to Springfield Hospital for a blood test. Her blood was sent to Drug Scan for analysis and the suspected Heroin and pills were sent to the Pennsylvania State Police Crime Lab for analysis.

Off The Internet– Indian Want Coffee

An Indian walked into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other. He said to the waiter: 

“Want coffee.”

The waiter said, “Sure Chief. Coming right up.” He got the Indian a tall mug of coffee. The Indian drank the coffee down in one gulp, turned and blasted the buffalo with the shotgun,causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere andthen walked out. The next morning the Indian returned. He had his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other. He walked up to the counter and said to the waiter: 

“Want coffee.”

The waiter said, “Whoa, 
we’re still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?” The Indian smiled and proudly said,

 “Training for position in your United States Congress. Come in, drink coffee, shoot bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day.”

So You Don’t Believe Vote Fraud Happens?

Anita Moncrief spoke to those attending  the Americans For Prosperity Foundation’s Suite Tea Breakfast at the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference (C-PAC) about her experiences with the community activist group ACORN and how she attempted to blow the whistle on the vote fraud it was committing before the 2008 election only to be put on the shelf by the old media.

In the very likely event that you haven’t seen it, below is her talk. Maybe someone can forward it to Karen Heller at the Philadelphia Inquirer and the other Democrat Party vote fraud deniers. 

Islam, Necessity And Things You Can’t Make Up

Abdullah Hassan al-Asiri died Aug. 8, 2009 at the tender age of 23 in an unsuccessful attempt to kill Saudi Prince Muhammed bin Nayef on behalf of al Qaeda. 

Al-Asiri had placed a bomb up his rectum which was apparently detonated by cell phone when he got near bin Nayef.  Nayef escaped serious injury due to the shielding provided by al-Asiri’s body. Needless to say his robes probably needed dry cleaning.

While it was not the most well-thought plan — failing to taken into account the buffering provided by al-Asiri’s intestines and epidermis and such — the jihadists did manage to overcome certain logistical difficulties namely how to fit the bomb in al-Asiri’s rectum. 
It was too narrow, you see. 
So, it had to be widened.  
So cleric Abu-al-Dema al-Qasab deduced that while a certain act may be prohibited in Islam “the overarching rule of (Islamic) jurisprudence assets that necessity makes permissible the prohibited” and jihad comes first.
So, well, you can read about it here.
And all al-Asiri wanted was virgins in paradise. 

Elkins Park Dems Don’t Believe In Separating Church And State

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL20) — who heads the Democrat National Committee — is scheduled to appear in an Elkins Park synagogue Monday, July 16, on behalf of the Obama for America campaign.  It’s sponsored by Jewish Americans for Obama and will be held at the Congregation Keneseth Israel.

The event also features as Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-PA13) and Democratic County Commissioner Josh Shapiro.

So, whatever happened to the separation of church and state and the dangers of a theocracy? Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi wants to know when the synagogue is going to invite Mitt Romney? Or how about former Marine Joe Rooney who is Ms. Schwartz’s Republican opponent?

So, whatever happened to all those concerns about separating church and state?

Stepford Democrats

In debates with Democrats many are puzzled by the claims Democrats make with complete confidence that any thinking person can see is mind-numbed foolishness.

It’s as if they are robots — unthinking devices incapable of leaving a pre-programmed path.
Well there is a reason for that, namely that they have stopped thinking and that they do follow a programmed path that they are incapable of leaving solely due to the fact that they have stopped thinking.
Zombie of Pajamas Media has an excellent article on one of the programmers George Lakoff, a professor of cognitive sciences and linguistics a Berkeley, and a highly regarded Democrat tactician. 
Lakoff has written a book — called The Little Blue Book — which claims in the name of science that conservatives are authoritarians with twisted morality and selfish politics, while progressives are loving, nurturant and altruistic. 
He says conservatives are that way because they had mean daddies.
So if you don’t want to be impoverished to cover the cost of every increasing pensions for public workers, and if you want to see bad teachers get fired rather than get raises and you fear losing access to your doctor because he is cutting back or quitting due to ObamaCare well it’s because you have a twisted morality and a mean daddy.
So if this gets sprung on you at backyard barbecue, well, you know the source. People who believe this stuff deserve to be impoverished. Shame about the rest of us though.
By the way, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton both had mean daddies.

The Banality Of Evil At Penn State

Here is Louis Freeh’s report released, today, July 12, 2012 regarding Penn State’s handling of reports it received that Coach Jerry Sandusky was molesting children. Freeh, a former director of the FBI, was tasked by the Penn State Board of Trustees on Nov. 11 to investigate the University’s failure to appropriately respond to allegations that former football Coach Gerald A. Sandusky sexually abused children

What Freeh found is the perfect illustration of the phrase banality of evil.

At this link is the complete text but the official pdf can be found here

The pdf of the entire report can be found here.

It should be noted that while Freeh’s scope was limited to the University, the report notes the slowness of the Unviersity Police Department in investigating a 1998 allegation of a child molestation by Sandusky and the unwillingness of the Centre County District Attorney’s office to pursue matter.

And, while not in the report, it should be noted that the D.A. at the time Ray Gricar, would disappear in 2005 shortly after announcing that the would not run for re-election. Imagine that, a major law enforcement figure disappears and there is barely a ripple in the state’s media.

And while not in the report, it should also be noted that the Sandusky matter was not the only instance of a allegation of a homosexual child molestion coverup involving Penn State and its president Graham Spanier.

Read the statement here with a link to a download of a pdf of the report.

The Banality Of Evil At Penn State

Off The Internet — Trump Explains ObamaCare

Let me get this straight . . . 

We’re going to be “gifted” with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and

fined if we don’t, 

Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we’ll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s broke!!!!!

‘What could possibly go wrong?’
