PA Rep Tim Solobay – defends himself from Harrisburg “trash”

I was pleased that Representative Tim Solobay used quick thinking to defend himself in an attempted mugging in Harrisburg.  I'm glad some of the suspects are in custody and no one was injured.  It is a good story of an individual using the resources at hand to get help.  Being a former athlete didn't hurt.

Rift in the LGBTQ Community

From Congress.org comes this insightful analysis on what the looming failure to repeal DADT says about activism within the national LGBTQ community.

Progressive Revolt

Is it possible that after the Dems are slaughtered in November, us “dissatisfied” progressives will revolt in Tea Party style and wrest control of our party away from capitulating milquetoasts?  Did I even spell that correctly?  Do I care enough to check?  No.  I just want to find some hope in the future and some […]

DADT alive and kicking

DADT alive and kicking

Thanks to procedural maneuvers, DADT has not been repealed.  Sigh.  Do I even need to describe how frustrating it is that this one small step, which is clearly in the best interest of our national defense, can't get traction.

The Homo Threat to Critical Infrastructure …

The Homo Threat to Critical Infrastructure …

Ed Rendell has terminated what he called a horribly misguided state contract with a Philadelphia firm that led to wrongful and improper reports being disseminated about environmental groups, tax protesters, […]

Corbett facts wrong. Shocking!

Corbett facts wrong. Shocking!

Capitol Ideas debunks Corbett's ridiculous mocking of his working class citizens …. Kevin Silva, a senior vice president with the Warrell Corporation of Camp Hill, Cumberland County, said the company had been told by one applicant for a machine operator's position that, after factoring in travel costs, that he could make more money while receiving […]
