    HARRISBURG -- Legislation providing $8 million a year for a new Penguins arena, funding for mass transportation and money for biomedical research remained stalled in the Senate as the General Assembly missed the constitutional deadline for passage of a state budget at midnight Saturday.

State parks, museums, environmental permitting services and driver's license testing centers would also be closed. With arena funding mired in politics,...

Richter, a 40-year-old Democrat who lives in Guilford, said he expects to make a decision in the next few weeks about whether to run for the Fairfield County seat in 2008.

    A woman who disappeared from McKeesport a decade ago when she was 14 has been found living with a school security guard, police said today. Tanya Kach, now 24, disappeared Feb. 10, 1996. Joe Sparico, owner of J.J.'s Deli Mart, said the woman he's known for the past six months as Nikki Evans broke down in tears Tuesday and told him she is the missing Tanya Kach, and that a school security guard had kept her locked in a bedroom of his Soles Street house that he shares with his elderly parents.

    Did anyone else notice this? I was watching CNN earlier, I don't know why, they were doing a story about the debate for clemency for "Tookie" Williams. During the story they were showing various video clips of pro and anti-capital punishment rallies. One particular segment showed a pro-Tookie activist passing around a clip board, presumably with a petition on it.

    West Coast investors have negotiated a letter of intent to purchase a majority interest in the Penguins. Mario Lemieux, the hockey team's primary owner since it emerged from bankruptcy in 1999, will hold onto a reduced share of the franchise. Most, if not all, of the Penguins' other local investors are expected to do likewise

    Filmmaker and radio host Alex Jones (infowars.com) returned to the show to discuss the agenda of the "elite globalists," a secret group that he believes is above presidents, and works to manipulate us into war and crises. "The globalists believe in social Darwinism," he said, in which they position themselves as gods to a slave population that is "dumbed down" through various methods such as "forced drugging." Jones said that ultimately the globalists plan to greatly reduce the Earth's population, and will engineer huge calamities, such as...

One freshly unearthed document, captured by the U.S. from Vietnamese communists in 1971 and later translated, indicates the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese delegations to the Paris peace talks that year were used as the communications link to direct the activities of Kerry and other antiwar activists who attended. Kerry insists he...

    Has anyone noticed the roll call of sKerry supporters reads like a who`s who of people who should be jettisoned from the planet? The DUmmies and George Soros morph G.W.into Hitler in a T.V. ad, but the Nazis support Kerry.
