One of the great advances in labor law occurred in 61 AD with the Lex Petronia which forbade employers to send their slaves to be eaten by animals without a judicial verdict.

Horace Greeley, founder, publisher and editor of the New York Tribune, popularized the phase “Go west young man,” which was first published by John Soule, an Indiana newspaperman. Greeley always insisted the word news was plural. He once queried a reporter by telegram: “Are there any news?” The reporter wired back: “Not a new.”

Bobby Lawrence Explains His Side
Bobby Lawrence Explains His Side — An article that appeared on the left-wing, Canadian-hosted website BlastingNews.com is accusing Pennsylvania U.S. Senate Candidate Bobby Lawrence of abusing a staffer by leaving a nasty message on her answering machine.
There is another side that was omitted, however.
Lawrence notes that the person, Tania Burgess, was not a staffer or employee of his campaign but affiliated with America First Grassroots.
Lawrence and Ms. Burgess are supporters of Donald Trump, and Ms. Burgess offered to help Lawrence with his Aug. 26 Senate kickoff event in Greencastle.
The event was scheduled and Ms. Burgess then claimed ownership of it, Lawrence says. He says she attempted to exert undue control and prominent persons whom Lawrence had expected to join him pulled out. He also feared Ms. Burgess’ actions would cause others to quit the event.
So that explains the message which can be heard here.
He was not some big bully threatening some mild volunteer staffer as the article implies.
And how would a left-wing publication get the private voice mail of a proclaimed Trump supporter anyway?
Information about Lawrence, a Republican, can be found here.

Oh Canada. It was on Sept. 1, 1905 that the districts of Alberta and Saskatchewan were split from the Northwest Territories became full-fledged provinces.
The southern border of the provinces once belonged to the United States as they were part of the Louisiana Purchase. They were traded in 1818 for parts of Rupert’s Land which include large parts of North Dakota and Minnesota. The treaty established the 49th parallel east of the Continental Divide the boundary of Canada and the United States.

Jeff Bartos Bob Asher Connection
Jeff Bartos Bob Asher Connection — Among the nine Republicans (so far) seeking the nomination to take on Sen. Bob Casey Jr. — oh has he shamed his father — is well-connected businessman Jeff Bartos.
Bartos, who was division president for Toll Brothers and ran North American operations of Mark Group’s global energy efficiency business, has the seal of approval from PA Future Fund.
That’s three strikes there.
PA Future Fund is a political action committee chaired by Bob Asher, who we will refrain from describing on the “if you can’t say anything nice” principle.
OK, we will note he backed John Kasich in a desperate last minute attempt to keep Donald Trump from getting the nomination last year.
Bartos does not seem to be the guy we want in our battle against special interests.

Charlie Talltale Flapjacks
Charlie Talltale Flapjacks
By William Lawrence Sr.
Nobody knew Charlie’s real name, not even his closest friends. He was the biggest liar in California and probably the smelliest person in Sacramento.
He was known throughout the gold territory as “Charlie Talltale,” and the only reason his friends came within listening distance was to hear his outrageous lies and to eat his flapjacks.
Charlie credited the miraculous flavor of his pancakes to his magic frying pan. He bought it in a second-hand store in Sacramento and swore that it was human.
“It’s a female,” he should whisper. “It grows four or five feet at night and dances. Sings too. Sweetest voice this side of Helena, Montana.”
His audience would laugh and jeer.
“Does it have arms too, Charlie? Does it have hot lips, Charlie? Did you ever kiss your frying pan, Charlie?”
California’s biggest liar would lean back and smile knowingly. His friendly blue eyes twinkled like the night’s brightest star. “I’m telling you the truth,” he said.
One night a few of the old prospectors were sitting around a campfire laughing at Charlie’s preposterous claims.
Old Dutch Martin, who had been sipping homemade whiskey, suddenly got an idea. He would take Charlie’s magic pan and hide it. He got up and, without letting his cronies in on his plan, stumbled towards Charlie’s camp.
Charlie, after making flapjacks that day, had rinsed the pan in the nearby stream, and without realizing it, placed it over the nest of a family of pocket mice.
Just about the time Dutch Martin arrived, the pocket mice decided to leave their burrow. The effort of moving the pan caused the mice to grunt and squeak. To Dutch, standing there boggle-eyed, they sounded like a dance-hall soprano. Then the pan started to move. It appeared to grow feet and dance.
“Whoops,” shouted Dutch. “Charlie was telling the truth.”
Dutch ran back to the campfire to tell the boys what he saw. All the boys were pretty well soused, but since Dutch was known as a straight shooter, decided to investigate his story.
They made enough noise to awaken Charlie from a sound sleep. He listened as Dutch pointed to the pan and described what happened.
Charlie grinned, “Ah, the pan must really like you Dutch, she don’t dance and sing for just anybody.”
Charlie invited the boys to stop around the next morning for the most delicious pancakes in the west. Here is his recipe:
Charlie Talltale’s Flapjacks
1 Cup flour
1/2 Tsp. salt
1/2 Tsp. baking powder
3 Tbl. sugar
2 Eggs
1 Cup milk
2 Tbs. melted bacon fat or butter
Sift dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Beat eggs until light in a separate bowl. Stir in milk and bacon fat or butter. Then, using a few strokes as needed (over-beating results in tough flapjacks) blend the egg mixture into the dry. Pour about quarter-cup of batter per flapjack on a hot greased pan. The flapjacks are done when both sides are nicely browned. Serve with butter and syrup. Charlie’s flapjacks always came with bacon.
Charlie, whenever, possible added fresh picked huckleberries to his flapjacks always measuring by a generous eye. Arguably, that’s what really made them a legend.
For a modern twist, use blueberries in lieu of huckleberries, mix a very ripe banana into the batter and add a dollop of vanilla.
