| Gov. Corbett will reveal his new budget Tuesday and we'll see what new austerity measures are in store for us.
Meanwhile former Governor Ed Rendell has been busy assembling an investment group to buy the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News. Saving these newspapers would be great and return them to a more liberal ownership.
Mitt Romney cruised in the Nevada caucuses but is still nowhere near getting enough delegates to be even significant. What remains to be seen is if the Santorum and Gingrich pimps decide to keep sinking good money after bad and continue contesting the nomination.
There have been a number of updates on the Penn State/Sandusky scandal. First of all the University announced it will pick up all the costs of the Paterno memorial service held on campus. No public or tuition funds are being used and the monies will come from the athletic department.
Prosecutors are asking for a change in venue which seem smart. There's no way a Center County jury will ever convict the former football coach.
Meanwhile Sen. Mike Stack is proposing a new law barring Penn State from using any public funds for legal expenses or settlements.
Following the seeming capitulation of the Susan G. Komen Foundation there are credible reports it was simply a PR position and that the non profit will cease to fund breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood clinics. Until we see actual money granted the Komen Foundation has little to no credibility. The outrage and examination of the group has been revealing startling information about the management and purpose of the Komen Foundation.
While conservatives rail about supposed voter fraud they keep getting convicted for election fraud. Every allegation of voter fraud this year (dead people voting) has been revealed as mularky. Republicans keep truing to rig the process however and its even caught the Gingrich presidential campaign cheating. The Indiana Secretary of State has been convicted.
NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sued three huge banks Friday for mortgage fraud. The action against Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase alleges their use of MERS (I've written about this extensively in the past) is illegal.
The banks created the MERS system as an end-run around the property recording system, to facilitate the rapid securitization and sale of mortgages. Once the mortgages went sour, these same banks brought foreclosure proceedings en masse based on deceptive and fraudulent court submissions, seeking to take homes away from people with little regard for basic legal requirements or the rule of law," said Schneiderman in the Friday press release.
A Canadian study which examined 15,000 subjects has definitively determined that conservatives are stupid. Why not tell us something we don't already know? All you have to do is try and have an intelligent conversation with a conservative to know that. Liberals tend to have higher childhood intelligence than conservatives who grow up to be racist and anti-gay. I suppose now the excuse of a conservative that "I'm simply too dumb to understand" is something we can't argue.
Congressional Republicans arrested Josh Fox, director of Gasland, at a hearing last week. I suppose they didn't want to be the latest idiots exposed in a documentary film. That's OK, we already know who you are and how stupid you are folks. People do have the right to attend and record public hearings, even on Capitol Hill.
