Fun with the liberal media vol1

Anyone in the Pennsylvania area that has Blue Ridge Cable saw something interesting on the news tonight.

Are you gonna believe the media, or are you gonna believe me?
Good!

My friends work maintenance at Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts.  A lot has changed since the glorious summer opening featuring Tom Ridge and the Philharmonic. I’m not too terribly comfortable talking about it, I’ve discussed it in my newsletter over the summer…

… but well, let’s just say “The Fat Lady is about to sing” over there, ok?

So Blue Ridge’s news crew was there (and denied access), my friends are moving computers, spot the cameras and their high-powered microphones, and One says out loud: “Do you want to bring these computers were stealing to your house or mine?”

Of course it’s been aired in its entirety. Sound and all. (*SNORT*)
Our phones have been ringing off the hook all day.
No charges have been filed on the two burglars yet. :0)


It’s all pretty sad, but I’m not ready to declare Mt. Laurel officially dead just yet.
Millions in grants and taxpayer dollars have been poured INTO it, and obviously it was run by incompetent morons.

Rather than pull for local support, they gambled on the New York, New Jersey, Philly crowd to pay New York prices to go to a place in the middle of nowhere.

Ask Lambchop what it was like trying to find my house last Spring. Mt. Laurel is the complex just before that, down the road. Tell me, ANYONE unfamiliar with the area will ever find the place? Duh.

Bill Watson offers a hilarious overview of “Mt. Laurel Center for Old Farts” in the latest EPCN. It offers a lot of of helpful ideas for Season two… and I hope SOMEONE is listening.

…I’m talking about those who aren’t going to jail, of course.

Eight Craaaayyyzee nights…

The sun is going down here in the Poconos, so I’d like to take a minute to wish all my brothers and sisters of the kosher persuasion:

 

Happy Hanukkah! 

I was hoping to have my newly revamped E-Cards done (as I’m getting a ton of people searching for Hanukkah E-Cards), but like how thanksgiving came and went… there’s just waaay too many projects on my plate.

But I would like to wish you all a good one, just the same…

*Update 8:38 PM: Free Holiday E-Cards are up and running!

Congratulations Mike Fisher

I can’t find any news articles to link to, but I’d like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Attorney General Judge Mike Fisher, as he was sworn in to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, appointed by President Bush and approved by the Senate.

Those who were here two years ago recall he had my full support when he ran against Ed Rendell for Governor of Pennsylvania.

Those who were here three years ago, remember he was one of the few lawmen to give my family a break and work with us when we had all our legal woes after buying a bad business FROM a con man, and getting stuck with the bills, threats and headaches.

(Despite a legal precedent set in New Jersey, which returned an indictment for said con man, most Pennsylvania courts decided to screw us ov… *deep cleansing breath*… it’s all in the past, let it go, nobody cares… pins and needles, needles and pins… *EXHALE*)

Anyway…
He’s a good man, a true crimefighter, and I’m happy for him/sorry to see him go.
Congratulations, Mike!!!

Reasons for Christmas LIVE – Thursday, Dec. 11th

We all have a song or two that tells us the holidays are upon us. There’s one song that triggers it for me: “The Christmas Song”, by Nat King Cole.

And I heard it today, at lunch with Jon Jorgenson.

Merry Christmas! PAR-TAY!

The Rat Bastard factor (redux)

** UPDATE: Dec 11th – UH OH! Mark got FARKED-UP! (Hat tip: Kathy K) **

Or perhaps this should be aptly titled “How to wreck your career in one night”

Remember my little rant “The Rat Bastard Factor“?
Well, the tale gets better…

Pazuhanich Charged With Indecent Assault
“Charges have been filed against Monroe County District Attorney Mark Pazuhanich. Now police have issued a warrant for his arrest… Pazuhanich is now charged with four counts, including indecent assault, putting a child in danger and corruption of a minor. ”

In laymen’s terms: He allegedly fondled his own daughter, and was seen by a security guard and a concerned mother, doing it at the Hilary Duff concert last Saturday in Wilkes Barre.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen… welcome to my world.
Only in the Poconos can you get a District Attorney, who was best known for:

Other than that, how was the Hilary Duff concert?

It states, quite clearly, in the Internet Superhero Code of Ethics & Conduct, section four, subsection 16D:

“Members are strictly forbidden to mock, laugh, gloat, or otherwise partake in joyous behavior at the misery of a nemesis found in a twisted situation of extreme karmic proportions.”
