Shock The Monkey

So it seems my friendly nemesis Lisa Mossie is running for political office -- Upper Providence Township Board of Supervisors.
You have to admire her chutzpah.
I do.
That is why I am endorsing her in this pursuit (just me, not the paper, because it's TH policy not to endorse candidates).
This is not a joke with a pending punchline.
I repeat, this is not a joke.
Sorry, fellow Dems,
The first priority is local elections are people with two brain cells willing to think outside the box who are not just in it for the power trip.
I think, if elected, she will take the job seriously.
I mean, she is on "talk radio" for 12 listeners a few days a week and she think she's her idol, Ann Coulter.
She gives every pursuit her all.
I anything, she will make it interesting.
And if she doesn't do the job, you Upper Providence voters always have the option of voting her out the next time around.
This is still America.
I think.

I am shocked. And I am not a monkey.

Wow, Gordon, I bet this really made her day!
If you're serious, which I doubt, they are going to make you turn in your card as a partial member of the NAACP.

I'm with you, GG - to a point, anyway. I do want to see her win her primary race against the incumbent Upper Providence Supervisor.

But only because it will be so much sweeter to see her lose to a Democrat in November.

That would be totally awesome.
Hey, did anyone hear that Barry guy on that station called Barack Obama Barack "Hussein" Obama? That's what I heard (I can't get the station clear enough to even bother looking for it). Aren't we passed that childish behavior yet? I'm not going to kill the guy if that's not what he said, but he is really a dope if he did.

Gordon-

After reading your comments, I am committed to increasing the number of listners on WFYL to a respectable level. In fact, I find it curious; I listen to Lisa and Barry while driving to work, yet find nothing beyond the Obituary section remotely interesting in your publication.

Last week, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) announced a plan to rig the 2012 presidential election by effectively giving up to a dozen electoral votes away to the Republican presidential candidate for free. Under Corbett’s plan, each of the state’s 18 congressional districts — which are being gerrymandered so that as many as 12 of them favor Republicans — would choose how to allocate a single electoral vote rather than having all of the state’s votes go to the winner of the state. The plan is opposed by several GOP congressmen, who fear that its new set of rules will cause the Obama campaign to shift resources from bluer parts of the state into their districts.

Nevertheless, Corbett and his chief ally in the legislature, GOP Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, are not swayed by these congressmen’s claim that it is more important to protect their seats than it is to steal the election.
