An open records request by Palin-obsessed Alaskan Andree McLeod has uncovered the shocking revelation that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin uses a device known as the “telephone.” Records show that Palin not only uses this device to accept two-way voice communication – known as “calls” – from others, she also uses the “telephone” to, in fact, initiate voice contact with third parties in other locations ...

An analysis of the list of Chrysler dealers closed down by the Obama-run auto maker show that many were donors to Republican candidates and Democrat rivals of Barack Obama during the 2008 election cycle.

Every one of us who attended a tea party... EVERY ONE... has got to follow up with action. Get bumper stickers “Obama: Destroying Capitalism One Day at a Time.” “Cut Frivolous Spending, NOT the US Military” Dump (your local liberal Democrat congressman) Put up yard signs NOW ... don’t wait until this fall. Put them on roadsides, not just in yards. At key intersections. “Proud to be an American capitalist: Ashamed of Obama” “Proud to be a Christian nation: Ashamed of Obama” I’ve done it in my town, and it was so effective the local liberal newspaper did stories about...

We need suggestions for good solid rock n roll (preferrably American) songs to upload onto our sound system for the opening and ending of the Apr. 18 Bucks County Tea Party in Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania. Steppenwolf's "Ride With Me" and "It's Never Too Late" are two good choices, but we need more. Any help?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 8, 2009, Doylestown, PA Kitchen Table Patriots Plan Bucks County Tea Party Modern patriots are planning over two thousand tea parties across the country, and Bucks County is no longer an exception. The Bucks County TEA Party is planned for April 18 at Washington Crossing Historic Park, the site of General George Washington’s Christmas crossing of the Delaware River.. Out of dire necessity to have their voices heard on the course this nation is headed, the tea4change group, created the Bucks County Tea Party to provide local area residents with an opportunity to express their views....

A Tea Party has been planned at the exact spot where Gen. George Washington and his troops launched a surprise attack across the Delaware River in 1776 and eventually motivated a young American nation to shake the bonds of tyrrany. The Tea Party has been dubbed the Kitchen Table tea party because of the two women who organized it are just "two normal moms" who have seven kids between them. .

They called it history-making here in Minneapolis. Yesterday, Elissa Reinsma became the first female to compete in the state high school wrestling tournament. It was not a step forward. Some cultures spend a thousand years unlearning the brutality of men toward women.

As a boy, Harrison Tyler never gave much thought to his grandfather, John Tyler, the 10th president of the United States. "I grew up during World War II," he told Subaru Drive Magazine in 2002, "and surviving the war and the shortages was what was on everybody's mind. Being related to a president was never a thought." Such a view may seem astonishing, but President Tyler died in 1862, 66 years before his grandson was born. In fact, Harrison Tyler's father, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, was born in 1853 and died in 1935, so there were very few first-hand accounts of...

When the American Civil War began, president Abraham Lincoln was far less prepared for the task of commander in chief than his Southern adversary. Jefferson Davis had graduated from West Point (in the lowest third of his class, to be sure), commanded a regiment that fought intrepidly at Buena Vista in the Mexican War and served as secretary of war in the Franklin Pierce administration from 1853 to 1857.

Today President George W. Bush will hand over to his successor a Middle Eastern foreign policy outlook far brighter than the one he inherited from Bill Clinton.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2008 – While Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates will stay in office in President-elect Barack Obama’s administration, other Bush administration political appointees will move on, a Pentagon spokesman said today.

The 34-year-old Chester man must serve six to 23 months of home confinement after his sentencing Monday in Delaware County, reports the Associated Press.

What has been made absolutely clear in this election is that the Republican Party has an abundance of class acts when what it really needs are hard core community organizers. On Tuesday, my Democrat neighborhood was inundated with canvassers leaving posters of Democrat candidates and offering assistance to get to the poll. I have never seen a Republican do the same but then I've always lived in the poorer part of town.

Senator Jim DeMint let John McCain and George Bush have it at a gathering of top level Republicans at Myrtle Beach yesterday. The South Carolina conservative spared few words in lambasting the Arizona senator :

It might not change the election, but it sure feels good paying back those who dissed this great nation by supporting Barack Obama. Actually, it's the method which is so sweet. (cont)

Make no mistake; this was a drubbing. This was a Hillary vs. Lazio drubbing. This was a “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy” drubbing. This was “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent’s youth and inexperience,” and the opponent can only stand there and laugh along.

Anyone else notice how weird and disheveled Obama looked during his speech to the Clinton Global Initiative, or whatever it is, in Clearwater, Florida.

Every Obama answer was certainly thoughtful enough but he seemed to want to explain himself too much and went out of his way not to offend folks who disagree with him. Don't get me wrong, this will play well with some but McCain's directness and snappy answers that were on message allowed him to look commanding on that stage.

General Jerry Ralph Curry served 34 years in the U.S. Army, and how, at the age of 76, he wants to be president. He is one of the 18 candidates on Oklahoma's Feb.5 presidential primary ballot. In a face-to-face encounter, Curry looks like a man in his 50s. The son of a steelworker, Curry enlisted in the Army during the Korean Conflict. Starting as a buck private, he embarked on a career that left him a major general. Curry has mixed African, European and American Indian ancestry.

(BENSALEM, Pa. 12/10/06)A former Iraqi Air Force General who once was part of Saddam Hussein's inner circle gave an inspirational account of his conversion to Christianity before an mezmerized congregation of worshipers yesterday at the Christian Life Center church in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Iraqi Gen. Georges Sada, who retired from the Iraqi military in 1986 only to be called back to active duty (by Saddam) during the 1991 Gulf War, was most expressive when he spoke of how Iraq was being transformed into a country of "good" thanks to the US military effort. "If you turn on CNN, they give...

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq and Syria, which severed diplomatic relations 24 years ago, restored them on Tuesday in a move that could stem some of Iraq's unrelenting violence. "The latest talks between the Syrian and Iraqi side have been crowned by declaring a new era with the participation of the Syrian brothers in working on the security and stability with Iraq and restoring full diplomatic relations," said government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem arrived in Iraq on Sunday in the first such visit by a senior Syrian official since the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein's regime....

I just ordered new bumper stickers to replace my "Rick Santorum '06" and "Fitzpatrick '06" stickers. (R-8 Penna.) Both of these great candidates lost, and I am still seething.

(Everywhere, USA) There are three groups dancing in the streets around the world tonight as a result of the Democratic victories in the US House and Senate. The anti-American Muslims, the illegal immigrants planning to sneak into the US, and, of course the American Democrats. The amazing thing about the election here in Bucks County, Pa. is that the Democrats, some 24 hours after the election results, continue to rip down and sledge hammer the Republican campaign signs. Just as they did throughout the past two months. The immaturity of some never ceases to amaze.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 — For millions of Americans, Election Day is already over. Thirty states now allow no-excuse absentee voting, and most of them also allow voters to cast early ballots in person at county clerks’ offices or satellite polling places.

Sen. Santorum just completely outclassed and clobbered Bobby Casey Jr. during a radio debate on KWY 1060 am.

Just got word that Bill Clinton is coming to Bucks County on Wed., Oct. 11 to help campaign for Democrat candidate Patrick Murphy, who is running for the House of Representative seat now held by Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick.

Unbelievable. Chris Wallace, the host of Fox News Sunday, today urged ABC to not show the upcoming TV docudrama Path to 9/11 because it contains inaccuracies and made up dialog. Wallace, who made his comments on the Fox and Friends morning show, said he doesn't think any dialog that wasn't the exact thing said by Madeline Albright or Sandy Berger should be included. Wallace went on to criticize a different past TV docudrama he said included inaccurate scenes about his father Mike Wallace, claiming they were hurtful to his family. He also noted that the Reagan family was extremely upset...

Will the last Democrat with an idea please stand up? It doesn’t even have to be a good one. Just pick an idea: A chicken in every pot. An intern under every desk. Whatever. But please, Democrats, do something soon to indicate some minimal brain activity before a Florida judge shows up and pulls your feeding tube. Yes, it’s that bad. In fact, it’s worse. Democrats, you’re starting to make George W. Bush look smart. There he was on TV the other night, answering questions about a plan to save Social Security, conjugating most of his own verbs, and zinging...

PHOENIX, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Immigration officials across the United States are aggressively tracking down illegal immigrants who have disobeyed orders to leave the country.

(Vanity, USA) A newly released commercial by the Kerry/Edwards campaign has unwittingly revealed the anti-war Senator's long-time strategy in the war on terror. In the commercial, as seen on Fox News (Thurs. Oct. 21, 2004), Kerry criticizes President Bush for casualties caused by the war in Iraq, and then offers this gem of a statement. "If president, I will stop at nothing to keep terrorists from attacking this country," Kerry is quoted as saying in the commercial. Kerry apparently does not realize that he just told millions of voters that he will do "nothing" in the war on terror, and...

CHALFONT, Pa. -- A half-dozen AIDS protesters who sneaked into President Bush’s campaign rally yesterday by posing as Republican volunteers were forcibly ejected after they stood up in pairs and began chanting anti-Bush slogans.

The Dave Matthews Band, which is raising money to defeat President Bush by touring the country with his concerts, will appear at Bryce Jordan Center at the public Penn State University in State College, Pa. early next month. WPHT 1210 am radio host Dom Giordano, who brought up the information, on Friday said he does not think Penn State would be a proper place for such a polarizing political rally considering that the school is partly taxpayer funded. The president of the University said he feels there is nothing wrong with Matthews' anti-Bush concert. Concerts that raise voter awareness are...

Several months ago, John Kerry fell off his bicycle while riding in Boston, and subsequently told reporters that he got an MRI just as a precaution. Now, considering that he also claims to have shrapnel in his leg from Vietnam, doesn't it make an MRI impossible due to the metal's magnetic interference. This is my first vanity post, so forgive me. But I just heard WPHT radio host Rolleye James talking about the impossibility of Kerry getting an MRI with metal in his leg, and I thought I post the info. I never had an MRI so I'm not sure.

PRO-BUSH WAR PROTESTER EXPOSES ANTI-WAR PEACENIKS DAVE SOMMERS , Staff Writer 03/28/2004 When it comes to defending what he sees as President Bush’s correct stance in fighting the war on terror, Raoul Deming is about as proactive as one could be. In fact, he has attended nearly every rally on the East Coast in the past year, whether pro or con, and says he’s always ready to confront those who speak out against the president or scoff at any displays of patriotism. Just last weekend, Deming attended an anti-war rally in Fayetteville, N.C., where he argued with protesters and then...

After squabbling with local unions, the producers of the MTV series today gave up on Philadelphia as the site of its 15th season. Taping was to begin in three weeks. "After considerable evaluation, we are disappointed to announce that Bunim/Murray Productions has decided not to shoot The Real World in Philadelphia," a spokeswoman for the company said this afternoon. She declined to elaborate.
