Sestak And His Running Dog Lackeys

The Delaware County Daily Time’s parent company was just reorganized out of bankruptcy, a state in which the Philadelphia Inquirer owners remain.

And there is a reason for their troubles and why both newspaper companies will eventually fail. Neither practices journalism.

The main headline in today’s Inky remarked on number of health care plan supporters attending the “town hall” held by Congressman Joe Sestak (D-Pa.7). I didn’t see a word in the story pointing out that where the “town hall” was held — Broad Street Ministry, 315 S. Broad St., Philadelphia —  is a very Democratic and union friendly area well outside his suburban district,  nor did it remark on what the admission policy was. The Daily Times also declined to address those salient and obvious points.

If those who ran newspapers had the epiphany that most people don’t want to pay for propaganda the products might have a chance. If such an experience hasn’t happened despite the experience of disappeared profit and bankruptcy court, I don’t expect it to.

Sestak To Have Town Hall Outside Of District

Congressman Joe Sestak (D-Pa7) is having a town hall, 6:30 p.m., today,  at Broad Street Ministries, 315 S. Broad St., Philadelphia regarding President Obama’s proposed national mandated-medical rationing plan.

You expect a lot of constituents Joe?

Having it outside the district is really slick but why not really throw the protesters a curve? Reschedule it for 1 a.m., Saturday at 18th & Diamond.

Another Protestor Threatened

Another Protestor Threatened — Mike Sola lodged a protest against President Obama’s proposed health care plan at an Aug. 6 town hall sponsored by Congressman John Dingell, D-Mich. He had brought his wheelchair-bound 36-year-old son who has cerebral palsy to the meeting and demanded a direct answer as to what kind of treatment his son could expect.

When an answer was not forthcoming, things became heated and Sola and his son were escorted out.

Well, Sola now says “thugs” have located his home and delivered a threat which he has reported to police.

Sola told Fox News, Aug. 10, that “I will use every means available to me, lethal force if necessary, to protect [my son] and my wife. My wife is terrified,”

It Looks Like Pat Meehan 2010

It looks like Pat Meehan will be the GOP nominee in 2010 for the seat being vacated by Congressman Joe “I Believe The World’s Burning To The Ground” Sestak (D-Pa.7).

Craig Williams, the ’08 nominee, has endorsed Meehan and said he will work hard for him. Meehan was the federal prosecutor responsible for Philadelphia and its eight surrounding counties from Sept. 17, 2001 until July 15, 2008 when he left for the law firm of Conrad O’Brien Gellman & Rohn.

The was speculation he was going to try for governor.

Meehan was nationally recognized for his prosecutions involving corruption during the Mayor John Street administration in Philadelphia.

Before becoming a U.S. District Attorney,  Meehan, 53, of Drexel Hill, was the Delaware County District Attorney with his highest profile cases the prosecutions of John DuPont for the murder of Olympic wrestler David Schultz in Newtown Square and Arthur Bomar for the murder of Aimee Willard in Marple. Both murders occurred in 1996.

Meehan was a star hockey player at Bowdoin College and was a NHL official for two years.

Frankly, I would have preferred Williams but Meehan is fine.

Frankly, considering the mess the Democrats are making of things, I think I would vote for Triumph the Insult Dog over anyone who would give Nancy Pelosi two more years as Speaker of the House.

ObamaCare: Check The Premise

Obama seems to think that by putting ink on paper and giving a command all will have health care, and this perfectly illustrates that Obama, his advisers and pretty much everyone in the Democratic Party are clueless as to what health care is and how we get it.

Health care does not come from shuffling papers and empowering bureaucrats. It comes from people with the right aptitude who have acquired knowledge and developed skills — a taxing and time consuming process — to cure the ills of the body. They are doctors and nurses and paramedics and pharmacists and chemists in drug companies. They are engineers who improve wheelchairs, and walkers and diagnostic machines. They are hands-on people who are the farthest thing one can get from a 10-4 suit who takes two-hours for lunch.

To better our health care system the thing to do would be to increase the number of the doctors/nurses/druggists etc. and increase their efficiency so they could serve more people. Obama’s plan does not do this, however.  It will actually likely decrease the number of competent professionals, who will then be motivated to serve the bare minimum they could get away with.

You think maybe this would be pointed out in the various reporting on the matter. Why isn’t it? It not so much a conspiracy but an incompetency. The dumbest have risen to the top of the pyramid at most old media outlets.

And so idiocracy has arrived.

Obama Supporters Assault Protesters

Obama Supporters Assault Protesters — Following President Obama’s directive to “get in their faces” and “punch back twice as hard,” his supporters attacked protesters yesterday at a town hall meeting held by St. Louis Democrat Rep. Russ Carnahan.

Kenneth Gladney, 38, an African-American who had been handing out flags with the words “Don’t Tread On Me”,  was taking to St. John’s Mercy Medical Center where he wastreated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face.

Six persons were arrested at the event, most if not all, of whom appeared to be Obama supporters.

Opponents of Obama’s plan were also reported roughed up at an event in Tampa.

Tough Love For Philly

The Senate Republicans led by Majority Leader and Delaware County’s own Dominic Pileggi (R-9) is going slow on giving Philadelphia permission to raise its sales tax from 7 percent to 8 percent.

Pileggi says solving the state budget mess comes first.

Well, kudos for Pileggi. Showing the city some tough love and forcing them to cut some fat might keep it from going the way of Detroit.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, btw, is upset with Pileggi action. If the Inky is sincere about helping  Philly’s financial situation they would move their operations back to the city from Montgomery County.

Dems Cut Check For Themselves As State Workers Twisted In The Wind

Dems Cut Check For Themselves As State Workers Twisted In The Wind — Gov. Ed “X” Rendell caved yesterday signing a partial budget allowing 77,000 state workers to get paid, an experience they have not had since July 1.

Also, money was made available for welfare checks.

Checks were cut Tuesday, however, for the Democratic members of the State House using a reserve fund the State Legislature keeps just for budget impasses.

The House and Senate Republicans declined to issue checks until the rest of the state workers were paid, as did the Senate Democrats.

Sestak To Face Specter

Congressman-Admiral Joe “I Believe The World Is Burning To The Ground And Grandpa Doesn’t Need That Pacemaker Anyway” Sestak has made it official that he is taking on incumbent Arlen “I’m A Sensitive Democrat Now And I Would Know That Grandpa Doesn’t Need The Pacemaker If I Actually Would Read The Bills I Support” Specter in the Democratic Primary for Pennsylvania’s Senate seat.

The winner takes on Pat “I’d Just As Soon Run For Governor But I have A Duty To Try To Fix The Mess Those Fools Are Making” Toomey.

The Fate Of The Springfield P.O.

The Springfield Post Office, which has graced Brookside Road in the Pennsylvania Township for more than five decades, may be moving with the rumors saying its new home will be next to Michaels Arts & Crafts, at 601 Baltimore Pike.

Postal officials are scheduled to give an full explanation at the Aug. 11 Springfield Commissioners meeting scheduled to start at 8 p.m. at the township building.

The building has long been a non-delivery facility with mail addressed to the 19064 Zip Code being trucked from the Media Annex on Route 452 in Middletown Township.
