As you may know, it is the “Year of the Bible” in Pennsylvania, thanks to unanimous support, from republicans and demmocrats alike, for a resolution introduced by Rep. Rick Saccone.

I was on my way to Northern Liberties, a neighborhood just north of old Philadelphia, when I got involved in some classic Philly driving.
Let me set the scene. I was headed north on 7th Stree, behind an enormous maroon Durango, one of those SUVs that are so big they look like some kind of [...]
“Down and Out on $250,000 a Year”
Someone call the waaaaaaaahmbulance, and then call ME a doctor because I just shattered all of my ribs laughing so hard. Send the bill to Susie Madrak, she’s the one who did this to me.

Bill Hangley, on FB:
Can’t build a road. Can’t fix a bridge. Can’t lay train tracks. Can’t pay teachers. Can’t help you with college. Can’t patrol Wall Street. Can’t raise taxes. Can’t protect entitlements. Can’t find Bin Laden. Can’t end the two wars we already started. Bomb Libya? Sure, we can do that.
I’ll add that if, [...]
Philly Daily News and Inquirer Digital Editions: EPIC FAILURES
If you haven’t dropped by Philly.com and signed up for the free test run of their digital edition, I highly encourage you to do so: it’s simply the most exquisite and complete FAIL I have seen in some time. You really have to experience it for yourself, and although words cannot do it justice, [...]

Cheap Trick, “Surrender”
I think Barack Obama should change his name to Captain Caveman. Not because he’s a wacky cartoon super-hero who solves crimes with attractive underaged girls, with a penchant for smashing his enemies with a giant club, but because the dude does nothing but cave. he’s got all the spine of a jellyfish, [...]
Open Letter: Still MORE Unused Transit Funding for Philadelphia

It seems only this past week, I wrote you both about diverting the $400 million for rail investments for Ohio, recently rejected by Governor-elect John Kasich, to Philadelphia. And it only seems like two weeks ago, I wrote to you requesting $3.38 billion in transit funds rejected by Governor [...]
