    Are the dolls made like a Mr. Potato Head - snap on/off penis and/or breasts?

  • ESPN: NFL Gives Up Trying to Enforce Standing Anthem Policy

    Exactly right. His play was so poor that he was benched. He took that literally and sat down during the anthem. The trainers encouraged him to get off the bench because of how it looked, so he took a knee. His tantrum has been twisted into something it was never intended. If he’d stayed at his locker to pout, there would be NONE of this.

  • Why does replacing food stamps with food so anger liberals?

    Exactly. Complaints about lack of grocery stores in some neighborhoods would stop. Complaints about racist bulletproof glass would cease. Healthy food delivered to your door. In lieu of EBT cards, a family could sign up for Schwann’s or Blue Apron. Win-win. Healthy eating and job creation for the food prep folks, farmers (some local), delivery people, etc.

    Wait, what’s the street value of a head of lettuce?

  • Pennsylvania Republicans Looking to Push Out Their Governor

    Nope. Exactly because of the Rendell kleptocracy is why, along with the GOP control of both houses, he should have been more aggressive. Pension reform, privitization of the liquor monopoly, right-to-work, and voter ID are the big ones. Now he’s letting the AG walk all over the laws of the Commonwealth with nary a peep. I voted for the guy and had much hope but I am willing to see who else may be interested.

    The problem is there is still too much fear and love shared by the PSEA and the Harrisburg crowd. NEPA has former teachers Pashinski, Boback, and Mundy looking out for us. Oops, forget Yudichak. What's the job market look like in Tennessee? Hey, last person under 65 leaving PA please turn out the lights.
  • House Vs Senate On Teacher Furloughs

    It’s unfortunate that Harrisburg Republicans have forgotten that they own all three houses - Assembly, Senate, and Governor’s Mansion. Corbett cuts funding and dumps the problem to the local level. Fine but give the unpaid folks on the school boards some teeth. How about: 1) Guaranteed PSERS benefits cease, replaced with guaranteed CONTRIBUTION. 2) Change bargaining rules - a la Scott Walker - so contracts can be negotiated fairly. This is tough when Corbett states “We’re not Wisconson...”. Correct Governor, Wisconson only has a $3 billion deficit, PA has $4 billion PLUS. 3) Follow through with allowing districts to eliminate staff based on need. Having to eliminate an entire program seems a bit over the top - like amputating a leg because of an ingrown toenail. Really, does anyone really believe that these guys are any different than the Luv Gov Rendell?
