Here is another example of why sexual predators should not step foot in Horsham.Benjamin Evans, of Blue Bell, arranged to meet with the girl at the Wawa on Horsham Road and Limekiln Pike on Tuesday night after a conversation through text messages. He asked if she wanted to perform oral sex on him and told her how to do it, said a criminal complaint released Wednesday. The girl and her mother were

Since John Roberts appears to be doing well, Patrick Leahy attacked the Chief Justice as an activist"I think in his actions and the actions in which he has joined, he has made the court an arm of the Republican Party."Really The Robert’s Court made three big decisions this term. The first case upheld the Partial Birth Abortion ban. So basically this activist Court only deferred to Congress and

Earlier today John Roberts had a seizure, but it looks like he will be ok. I am sure everyone on this blog and in America is praying that the Chief Justice of the United States, makes a full fast recovery. He has two young kids and he is the best thing to happen to America since Ronald Reagan. Not only has he been upholding the Constitution, but it seems he has convinced Justice Kennedy to do

We all know, despite over 200 murders so far this year, Philadelphia is still a better city than Pittsburgh, and the best city in the nation therfeore the world. (See the Constitution) The Phillies displayed this dominance today by sweeping the Bucs over the weekend without Chase who was intentionally injured by the Nationals on Thursday.

The bullpen sucking was no surprise, but the Phillies would have won if the Washington Nationals did not cheat. Their rookie pitcher intentionally beamed Chase Utley and Ryan Howard on consecutive pitches. At first it did not seem like a big deal, but now Chase is on the 15 day DL. Despite the usual bullpen meltdown the Phillies would have won if Chase were not hurt. He would have reached base at

I mentioned before that Horsham is considering a strict law banning sex offenders. Well I have some good news, since the township is considering this law prison officials have not released child rapist, Sheldon Granor, as scheduled. The parents and children of Horsham have some more time before they must live in fear of this monster.The sad news is that he was going to walk free in only three

As usual public education and Luzerne County are behind the curve. Everybody these days is contributing his or her own money to Health Insurance. It seemed as if Pennsylvania teachers escaped this trend, but now 59% of teachers contribute to their premiums. This is not the case in Luzerne County where teachers only one school district. There are many fights over this issue and of course the

Payne discusses about government’s involvement in Health Care.If I lived in Massachusetts, as of July 1, 2007, I would be violating the law. That’s when the state will require everyone over 18 years old to have health insurance. I don’t have health

Earlier this week Horsham Township was named the 15th best town in America therefore the world. I believe this a testament to our Conservative Heritage since the town’s creation. Horsham has always had low municipal taxes that created an opportunity for job growth. The School District still spends too much of our money, but compared to other districts in the state we are blessed. (The taxes are

I have never believed in the hype surrounding Michael Vick; I saw him as an athletic quarterback with an average throwing ability with no ability to read a defense. I was not worried about him when the Birds faced him in either playoff game. Concerning his predicament I have come to two conclusions. The NFL should suspend him for immoral behavior, but he should not go to federal prison.The Animal

If the Phillies lose today it will be the Franchises infamous 10,000 loss. After being down 3-0 the Phightens crawled back. Starting Pitcher Adam Eaton stayed calm and helped his own cause with the bat going 2-2 with a sac bunt. Even Pat Burrell contributed with a timely solo homerun. At the end of the sixth inning the rain and wind was pouring down and a rain delay began.The Rockies ran inside

This day in 1835 the Liberty Bell famously cracked. Unfortunately more people know more about the crack in the bell than the man who the bell was rung for that day. The fourth and greatest Chief Justice John Marshall died two day earlier on July 6 2007 and he has been slighted by the schoolbooks of today. His contribution to America is only bested by his hero George Washington and James Madison,

With all the talk about Montgomery County’s historic commissioner’s race other county commissioner races seem to get left tin the dust. In Bucks County Incumbent Commissioners Jim Cawley and Charlie Martin are out to prove Patrick Murphy’s extremely slim win was an anomaly. The voters of Bucks County have no reason to replace the incumbents; Bucks County has thrived under Republican government

How do you fix a mismanaged public transportation agency? PA House Democrats voted to increase the amount of board members from the area’s most incompetent county. Now the SEPTA board will be dominated by the City of Philadelphia; suburban counties can be bullied into raising taxes for SEPTA.Rep. Gene DiGirolamo, R-18, said that could give Philadelphia the final say over routes and capital

For the people of Horsham the only thing worse than having a civilian airport in your town is living near a child rapist. Fortunately my hometown's Council and the State House are both considering limiting the housing options of sex offenders.A recently introduced House bill would tighten the state's Megan's Law by prohibiting sexually violent predators who commit certain crimes on children

President Bush’s gifts to America are proving they are what we wanted and more. With most of this year’s controversial decisions announced, it is safe to say conservatives should be pleased with the Chief and Junior Justices. Not only have they “voted” the right way, but also it seems the two men especially Roberts are brilliantly keeping Justice Kennedy in line.The classic example is the partial

A few times I have taken very long breaks from my own blog, and last time I deleted all old content.
