The latest from Newt Gingrich

Please take a moment to conisder what Newt has to say and contact your Senator.

Call your Senators today at 202-224-3121 and tell them to oppose the stimulus package.  And for good measure, send them an email too.

Let’s be honest, it’s not really a stimulus bill. It’s a big government, pork-laden spending bill filled with wasteful projects.

In this new video, Newt outlines in stark terms exactly why this bill, as currently written, is not worthy of our support.

Talking Pennsylvanian

For those who think we ‘talk funny’ or use ‘big words’, here’s why ...

Talking Pennsylvanian

Once a Pennsylvanian, ALWAYS a Pennsylvanian!

About Pennsylvanians: You’ve never referred to Philadelphia as anything but ‘Philly’ and New Jersey has always been ‘Jersey..’

We don’t go to the beach, we go ‘down the shore.’

You refer to Pennsylvania as ‘PA’ (pronounced Pee-Ay).
How many other states do that??

‘You guys’ (or even ‘youze guys’, in some places) is a perfectly acceptable reference to a group of men and women.
You know how to respond to the question ‘Djeetyet?’ ( Did you eat yet ?)

You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Wilkes-Barre, Schuylkill, the Pocono’s, Tamaqua, Tunkahannock, Bala Cynwyd, Duquesne and Monongahela.

And we know Lancaster is pronounced Lank-ister, not Lan-kaster.

You know what a ‘Mummer’ is, and are disappointed if you can’t catch at least highlights of the parade.

You know what ‘Punxsutawney Phil’ is, and what it means if he sees his shadow.

The first day of buck and the first day of doe season are school holidays.

At least five people on your block have electric ‘candles’ in all or most of their windows all year long.

You know what a ‘State Store’ is, and your out-of-state friends find it incredulous that you can’t purchase liquor at the mini-mart.

Words like ‘hoagie,’ ‘crick,’ ‘chipped ham,’ ‘dippy eggs’, ‘sticky buns,’ ‘shoo-fly pie,’ ‘lemon sponge pie’, ‘pierogies’ and ‘pocketbook’ actually mean something to you. ( By the way, that last one’s PA slang for a purse!)

You can eat cold pizza (even for breakfast!) and know others who do the same. Those from NY find this ‘barbaric.’

You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several colors.

You know t he difference between a cheese steak and a pizza steak sandwich, and you know that you also can’t get a really good one anywhere outside of the Philly area. (Except maybe in Atlantic City on the boardwalk.)

You live for summer, when street and county fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season.

You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Paradise, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Moon, Virginville, Mars, Bethlehem, Hershey, Indiana, Sinking Spring, Jersey Shore, State College, Washington Crossing, Jim Thorpe, King of Prussia, Wind Gap, and Slippery Rock are all PA towns ... and the first three were consecutive stops on the old Reading RR! (PS - That’s pronounced Redd-ing.)

You know what a township, borough, and commonwealth are.

You can identify drivers from New York, New Jersey, Maryland or other neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits and their front license plates!

A traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn carriage on the highway in Lancaster County. (And remember ... that’s Lank-ister!)

You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

You carry jumper cables in your car and your female passengers know how to use them.

Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

As a kid you built snow forts and leaf piles that were taller than you were.

You know beer doesn’t grow in a garden, but you know where to find a beer garden.

You also know someone who lives ‘down the lane’.

You actually understand all this and send it on to other Pennsylvanians for former Pennsylvanians!

YEAH!  THAT’S GOOD OL’ ‘PA’ AND WE LOVE IT!

And send it to people that never lived in PA and confuse them, because nice matters.

Obama to San Francisco Chronicle on bankrupting coal industry

New Obama interview where he says he will put in place things that will bankrupt the coal industry. Pennsylvania, we can’t afford Obama. If you want to skip forward go to 2 minute mark on the YouTube video.

Clean Coal - Why Pennsylvania Supports John McCain

When it comes to Pennsylvania, clean coal could turn our entire economy around. If you live in PA and vote on economic issues McCain is the one to vote for this year!

Coal Mining can come back in Pennsylvania. It's up to us.

Coal is a subject near and dear to the depressed regions of Pennsylvania. Here in PA we call it the Coal Regions and we have friends that live there. The question facing us as a state is do we want our depressed regions to start prospering again? I know there are Pennsylvanian’s in both parties and they are my friends as well. I do want to encourage you to vote for McCain Palin to help grow Pennsylvania’s economy. Please see the video above without getting angry if you are inclined to vote for Obama Biden.

Field of Screams

It’s that time of year again. Time to start thinking about Field of Screams and Jason’s Woods.
