I had a lively phone conversation with Saccone’s office before we produced this one, in which I kept listing all the Bible laws that might be inconvenient in our times.  The woman on the other end of the phone got VERY flustered and upset. At one point she said that “the Old Testament doesn’t count, Christians only follow the New Testament.” She also said I must be confusing my Bible with my Koran.

She was certainly letting her freak flag fly.

Instead, I’ll just tell you this: if you live in PA and you’re having trouble running your Mozilla-based internet and email, if you can’t get to Wikipedia, or you can’t look for a job because craigslist is down, blame Bob Casey, who continues to support this dangerous and misguided legislation, even though support for it is peeling away like skin off a rotten banana. It’s shelved in the House, opposed by the White House, and dying in the Senate.

Bob Casey’s had plenty of opportunity to drop his support. the fact that he’s pushing on into strong head winds shows either that he truly believes Comcast and the government should be able to censor the Internet, or that he doesn’t exactly understand how the Internet works.

Neither reflects well on the man. With unemployment pushing 9% in PA, and 12% in Philly, the last thing we need is the country’s biggest job site shutting down. But that’s where we are, because of Bob Casey. I’m sure the unemployed are grateful to him for standing up for the likes of Comcast.

Also worth noting: Republican Pat Toomey opposes the Protect IP Act. Just sayin’.

AP Ticker has a more modest proposal:

Piggie will be up soon, but it’ll be a different editor (Sam’s here and my time is spoken for this week).

or rather, his father wrote it, in between a relatively minor stroke and the one that left him a permanently changed man. I think the space of time in which his father wrote the poem was about a half-hour.

For those of you wondering where I’ve been lately, I hope the recent Piggie postings have given you a good idea. About two days a week, I’m down at Woodshop Films, working as a Scrapple TV producer, writer, and content editor. It’s a great gig: since June, when I really got serious about video, I’ve been working extensively with Final Cut Pro and Snapz Pro X, the industry standard for editors. Every Monday night we start work on the scripts for the Piggie of the Week, a review of the past week’s News, and timeless Life Lessons:

That’s where you’ll see the majority of my work. We have a bunch of good shows. Come by and check ‘em out.

Kermit Gosnell, and the opportunists that followed. For Shame, Pennsylvania. You’ll come to regret this day.

Bob Casey doesn’t stand up for his constituents: he stands up for corporations and the prison industrial complex. He is a bad man, a coward, and not fit to hold office in Pennsylvania.
