A Day To Celebrate The Death Of Che

Yesterday, Oct. 8, President Obama while campaigning in California — California? — formally dedicated a national monument to labor leader Caesar Chavez. The monument came about not via legislation but through an executive order  under the Antiquities Act — Antiquities Act?


If the president truly wanted to honor “latinos”, though, today would be the day that he would celebrate as today is the day the murderous sadist Che Guevara  met justice in Bolivia in 1967. 

Guevara is responsible for setting up Cuba’s oppressive labor camps and killing dissidents without a trial, something he has confessed in his diary — not the motorcycle one — that he likes to do. He also said trials were unnecessary.

He is described as ordering the death of one teenaged dissident in front of the boy’s mother who was begging for his life.

Which is kind of ironic as he begged from his own life when the Bolivian counter-terrorists finally caught up with him.

So today let us celebrate the death of Che.

Houses Passes, Considers Veterans Bills

The House passed several measures last week to benefit Pennsylvania servicemen and servicewomen who honorably served our country, said State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) 
House Bill 2428 would offer a special designation on Pennsylvania driver’s licenses for veterans who served in any branch of the United States Armed Forces, including reserve units or the National Guard, and who were discharged or released from such service under conditions other than dishonorable.
House Bill 2591 would bring the State Employees’ Retirement System (SERS) into compliance with the Federal Heroes Earning Assistance and Relief Act of 2008 (HEART) and would conform Pennsylvania law regarding pension credit for military leave for state employees and SERS members with federal law.
Senate Bill 623 would encourage stage agencies to contract with veteran-owned small businesses.
Cox also said additional veterans benefits bills were approved in House committees. 
The House Transportation Committee voted in support of Senate Bill 1531, which would create the Veterans’ Trust Fund to authorize grants to the PA Veterans Foundation and other veterans’ and charitable organizations for the purposes of providing benefits to veterans and their families. Revenue for the fund will come from proceeds paid by PennDOT from sales of a special “Honor Our Veterans” license plate and from contributions from a voluntary $3 check-off from driver license and vehicle registration renewals.
The House State Government Committee passed Senate Bill 1255, which would enact the Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act to simplify the process of absentee voting for United States military and overseas civilians in state elections conducted in Pennsylvania.
The House Judiciary Committee approved Senate Bill 1442, which would update the Pennsylvania Code of Military Justice, which enforces order and discipline upon the Pennsylvania National Guardsmen who are not in active federal service under Title 10 of the United States Code. The code has not been extensively updated since 1975, and many of the current provisions date back to the Military Code of 1949.

Obama Lying About His Study Says Economist

Harvey Rosen, the Princeton economist who Obama is citing as the authority that Romney’s tax plan won’t work, says the President is not telling the truth.

“I can’t tell exactly how the Obama campaign reached that characterization of my work”, he told the Weekly Standard.  ” . . The main conclusion of my study is that under plausible assumptions a proposal along the lines suggested by Gov. Romney ca both be revenue neutral and keep the net tax burden on taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 about the same.”
Maybe the President wasn’t lying. Maybe he and all his experts just couldn’t understand it. Maybe he just needs new experts. Maybe we just need a new president.

A ChiCom Connection With Obama

Breitbart News is reporting that the Obama.Com website is owned by a man in Shanghai with strong ties to state-controlled Chinese banks.

Breitbart notes that the website’s donation page does not require the entrance of a credit card security code making it easy to hide foreign donations.
Breitbart notes that 68 percent of all internet traffic to Obama.Com comes from foreign visitors.
Breitbart is promising more details.

Killing With Kindness

The state House, last week, approved legislation  that would limit the ways in which animals can be euthanized and increase the fine for violating the rules from $250 to between $500 and $1,000, said State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) 

He said the House also last week approved House Bill 2409, which provides a mechanism for animal care organizations to seek compensation for care provided to an animal that was seized due to animal cruelty charges. This would allow the caregivers to seek compensation from the owner of the animal or the defendant in the animal cruelty case.

Cox said he voted for all the bills.

Italian Village, Our Return

We went to Italian Village, yesterday, for the first time since they were featured on Restaurant Impossible.

We didn’t know the restaurant at 902 MacDade Blvd, Milmont Park, Pa. before the Robert Irvine makeover, but we liked it before they got their national fame and we still do.
All praised the roasted peppers placed before us gratis and all regretted them not being filled. The shrimp lejon appetizer was tasty but could have used a couple of more shrimp. The meal came with a soup or salad and both were found to be satisfactory.
The main courses — shrimp scampi, baked pork canneloni and lasagna — were more than filling. The scampi was adequate, the canneloni was good and the lasagna was superb.
Maybe the menu could be larger.
That was a joke.
The menu could be found at their website. We didn’t feel it was overpriced.
Our waitress was nice. The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly, and the dining room was pleasant and spotless.
One down note — William Sr. who raved about his manhattan cocktail last time, was disappointed in it this time.
All the same, Italian Village remains a fine and fun neighborhood place.
