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?

OK, while I'm glad to be one of your favs, where the heck were you all August???
Come on, I took one week off -- the last week in August -- and even wrote a column during that time while I was in Williamsburg, VA (http://www.pennlive.com/patriotnews/stories/index.ssf?/base/columnists/1188356110216720.xml&coll=1). And you admit that you didn't post all month.
Unlike the legislature, I'm up around 5:30 a.m. most mornings Mon-Fri. blogging.
As for Tony, well, all I have to say is that it's easy to pass gas!
By the way, I have no idea why it's listing me as culdesacwarrior, but that last comment was from Brett Lieberman, who lives on a cul de sac, but isn't quite sure where that name came from.
