NJ politicians are crooked, too

I was shocked when I came across this Tony Phyrillas article about the most corrupt members of Congress that nobody from New Jersey wasn't included on the list. Don't the folks at CREW recognize the Garden State anymore?

We're feeling left out. Our politicians are just as crooked as the rest of them. Read the full story here.

You can't trust The New York Times

Normally I wouldn't be caught dead looking at The New York Times, whose motto should be "All the Left-Wing News We Can Slant."

But I started hearing about the break The New York Times gave to MoveOn.Org so it can smear Gen. Petraus, so I had to check it out for myself.

Yes, it's true. The New York Times charged the left-wing smear site, MovOn.Org just $65,000 to place a full page ad in the paper questioning the loyalty and truthfulness of America's top general in Iraq.

I don't know how much control the money people have in newspapers, but I know that newspapers are in business to make money. They have no incentive to give somebody a break on advertising, especially a one-time attack like the one by MoveOn.org. I don't know what a normal charge is for a full-page ad, but I know The New York Times gave MoveOn.org a huge break to get its attack out.

The newspaper itself admitted it made a special deal with MoveOn.org on its pages. Here's a link to the Times' article.

Whatever happened to fairness? Why must The New York Times work so openly with only political party? And if any of you still believe there's not a liberal bias in the news media, you should go back to sleep and wait for the tooth fairy to pay you visit.

The Clintons failed us on 9/11

Polls say 4 in 10 Americans would never consider voting for Hillary Cinton in 2008. That still leaves 60 percent of voters who could do irreparable damage to this country by putting Hillary in the White House.

That's a scary prospect.

If you're still considering Hillary Clinton as presidential material, please take the time to read this article by Tony Phyrillas from his blog.

We've already seen what can happen to this country (Sept. 11, 2001) with the Clintons in charge. We can't risk another 9/11 by electing Hillary Clinton.

Alive and Kicking

OK, it's been exactly a month since my initial posting. Obviously, it was not my intention to be away this long. I've had some health problems that kept me away. Things are looking much better and I promise I won't neglect my blogging duties.

So, a lot has happened in the past month.

Gov. Ed Rendell's transportation plan has unraveled and we're back to leasing the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Rendell has also been in the news because he took money from a fugitive financeer from California. That should come as no surprise. Rendell has taken money from all sorts of unsavory characters.

Over in New Jersey, we had the arrest of a dozen school board members and two state legislators involved in a kickback scheme. What's the big surprise. That's the way they do business in Jersey.

I've tried to keep up with the news, but some of my favorite bloggers took most of August off. I'm referring to Mr. John Micek at Capitol Ideas and Mr. Brett Leiberman at Pennsyltucky Politics. I think they're back from their long vacations, but it's hard to tell. These guys cover state government, but do they have to have the same work schedule at the Legislature? The only reliable blogger I've kept up with is Tony Phyrillas. Doesn't this guy ever take a vacation?
