Not your father's GOP
Having buyer's remorse? Consider Gov. Tom Corbett's radical slashing of educational budgets, Sen. Toomey's crusade to eliminate all corporate taxes and privatize Social Security, or Congressman Dent's vote to eliminate Medicare and replace it with a voucher system.

Obama's insult to all
For those of you unlucky enough to have stayed awake (unlike Vice President Biden) for that travesty of a "campaign" speech by President Obama on April 13, you should have realized that your intelligence was being sorely tested. Among the many low points, the statement that U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan's budget proposal would cause 50 million of the poor, the disabled and the elderly to "fend for themselves" is an insult to all. I guess the Republicans really do want to commit political suicide and possibly domestic genocide. As with all Obama statements, no request for back-up for such a preposterous statement is forthcoming from the press.

Assess severance tax on Pa. natural gas drillers
I thank Gov. Corbett for continuing to answer questions about fracking, as reported in the April 19 Morning Call coverage of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors meeting. Gov. Corbett keeps talking about natural gas drilling helping the economy, but when the gas is gone, the economy has to go to something else. What will be left is environmental destruction — without resources to clean up the mess.
