I write this from the perspective of a person who was raised in a huntin' and fishin' family in Eastern PA. Personally, I do not hunt. While I strongly support strengthening our gun laws, I am, however, not anti-gun or anti-hunting. More on this later. Meanwhile...

The wildlife "management" practices in AK (Savage Sarah at the helm) are a disgrace, based on junk science, and were dishonestly developed. Predator kill quotas/bounties, according to the (pro-kill stacked) Fish & Game board, have been increased "to re-allocate the harvestable surplus of game animals from predators to humans." More specifically, sport hunters.

Subsistence calculations showed that needs could be met with a moose population of approximately 3,000. These reports demonstrated there was no need to consider or begin predator control. Though these results were published in a State Fish and Game Memorandum; dated Nov. 2, 2001 followed by a Press Release dated Nov. 6th, they were later buried and ignored.

My apologies if this has been diaried, but a search came up blank. I feel ill. I'm shaking. This is what health care has come to in our country? Dear god...

Ross Perot. Yep, he sure was entertaining back in the early 90's, wasn't he? We were mesmerized by the prime time Straight Chart Express.

But Ross has entered the new millennium with a Website AND a blog! All in one site!

Stephen Colbert has challenged voters to put their money where their mouth is in support of their candidate of choice in the Democratic Primary, to directly benefit school children of Pennsylvania.

When Stephen Colbert ran for president, supporters donated $66,000 to South Carolina classrooms in his honor. Do Senators Clinton and Obama have the keystones to do for the Keystone State what the Colbert Nation did for the Palmetto State? Let's find out.

As of this evening, Thursday at 6PM ET, the PAVoterServices website https://www.pavoterservices.state.pa.us/ is down. This is the website where PA voters can check their registration status and register/change their party online (it produces a pre-filled form which must be mailed/delivered to the county). I'm not sure how long it's been down. NOT good four days before the primary deadline. PA is a closed primary, and voters must file their registration/declare their party by this Monday in order to vote in the primary.

And next month I will vote in what is being billed as a pivotal primary for my new party. My first primary! I've been a "down-low dem" for many years, but no more.

In the past, it was professionally expedient for me to remain neutral, because one of my gigs is as a consultant to a state agency. But that state agency's federal funding has dried up (siphoned off to feed the war machine) and my consulting work along with it. Now I'm "supplementing" with a 9-5, working for a guy who views liberalism as a character flaw. After yet another of his Friday diatribes against the left-wing bleeding heart socialists, I went home with the strange urge to google: "milton friedman is satan."
