Jacqueline Jones of Lindale William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 2-24-15
Wonder what Jacqueline Jones of Lindale, Texas wrote to her sister Mrs. Jean Stewart of Springfield, Maine in May 1979. The letter contained 1,113,7847 words and took eight months to write.
Pennsylvania State Rep. Joe Hackett (R-161) and Sen. Dominic Pileggi (R-9) have introduced bills that would end the penalty for bringing into the Keystone State liquor, wine and beer purchased elsewhere.
The law now provides for fines of $25 per bottle, cost of prosecution and 90 days in jail.
Both men represent constituencies on or very near the Delaware border and we suspect many, if not most, of their constituents know the address of Total Wine and Tri-State Liquors.
Pileggi notes that attempt is not connected to the attempts to de-communize the Commonwealth’s liquor distribution system — which he describes as facing a “fundamental disagreement” in the legislature — and expects it to pass.
Still, Wendell Young IV, the well-paid head of United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1776 who inherited his $292,765 job from his father, Wendell Young III, has come out against it so don’t expect a slam dunk.
Local 1776’s fiefdom includes the proles in the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board distribution system.

Propagandists masquerading a journalists threw a gotcha question at Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential GOP presidential nominee.
“Is President Obama a Christian,” he was asked?
“I don’t know,” the Governor said.
Reader Tom Coniglia points out that according to the Bible you judge the tree by the fruit it bears.
While a profession of the divinity of Jesus Christ is not, nor should it ever be, a requirement for the presidency or any public office, there should be an expectation that one is honest about where one is coming from.
Biden 2015.
Say what you want about Joe, you know where he’s coming from albeit he may not be as certain at times.

John Winthrop apple orchard.
John Winthrop was given Governor’s Island by the Massachusetts Bay Colony with the stipulation that he plant an apple orchard on it. He did.
Former New York Mayor and 9/11 hero Rudy Guiliani told a crowd of business leaders, Feb. 18, at the 21 Club in New York City that he doesn’t believe Obama loves America.
Oh, did heads spin. The bile boiled over on leftist blogs as progs came out in defense of their god. Rudy, himself, got death threats.
The Mayor didn’t back down, though, repeating his claim on cable news shows.
Mayor, the best response would have been merely to concede that the President does love America — every bit as much as Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. He willingly subjected himself to Wright’s sermons for two decades, after all; and Ayers, a man who once helped plan the bombing of the Pentagon, hired him to chair his Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
Here is the link to a flattering article concerning Ayers in which he expresses pride for his role in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. If you want to feel a bit of extreme cosmic irony note the date the article was published.
Below is Rev. Wright showing how much he loves America.
The Philadelphia School Reform Commission voted, Feb. 18, to approved five of the 39 applications for new charter schools. 
Gov. Tom Wolf chimed in decrying the decision. Oh, the Philadelphia School District can’t possibly handle it he said. He cited the district’s $80 million budget deficit.
Charter schools, of course, are cheaper to run than traditional schools so one would wonder what exactly is Wolf thinking until one realizes that he, like the rest of the Democrat Party, is in the pocket of the teacher unions. These entities get the lion’s share of the blame for the inflated cost of public education.
Anyway, this creates a very nice opportunity for the GOP. Charter Schools are strongly supported by a significant section of the city and these supporters had in the past not been willing to look twice at a Republican candidate. If the party starts championing Philadelphia charters there is a pretty good chance this will change for many of them.
You would not need all of them or even most of them to start making a difference in elections.

The 50,000 Greenlanders who live on the world’s largest island in some of the world’s worst weather drink over 30 million cans of beer a year — at least in 1986.
