PA-12: Pennsylvania Patriot Uprising!

Tim Burns for Congress campaign headquarters is at 157 S. Main Street in Washington, Pennsylvania.  Three doors down the street . . . Resistance against oppressive government is kind of a local tradition, you might say. This latest Pennsylvania Patriot uprising will likely have a more successful outcome than did Mr. Bradford’s: Weighed down in his […]

‘If You Made Your Living Selling Something . . .’

“. . . you wouldn’t want people to steal it, just because they can,” says Kaylani Lee, a “performer” who appears in this anti-piracy public-service announcement from the porn industry: Well, (a) I never heard of Kaylani Lei, and (b) exactly what is she “selling,” huh? Ranked among all the sorrow and misery in the world, the endangered […]

Bill Maher: How Do You Speak Around That Foot?

Two Words: Freakin’ Huge!

 No, I’m not talking about plus-size model Ashley Graham, I’m talking about Republican Tim Burns leading 46%-40% in the latest PA-12 poll from (brace yourself) Daily Kos: The new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of the PA-12 special election gives Republican businessman Tim Burns the edge in the race for the House seat formerly held by the […]

Fred Thompson Notices The Dots

by Smitty Fred Thompson notices that health care policy, Wall Street policy, immigration policy, and energy policy all seem to have substantial events happening kind of close. No mention of Toyota and the auto industry takeover. Fred falls short of connecting those dots in any way. Paul Krugman and the hapless TrogloPundit (separated at birth?) […]

Other PA-12 Blogging From Christopher Renner At Red State

by Smitty Christopher Renner is also on the PA-12 case, posting at Red State and his own digs, including a map of what a train wreck the layout of the PA-12 district has become under the Murtha tenure. Maybe I should walk that back: I don’t live there, and the citizens of PA may think […]
