~ And Lunch on Herr! ~

GOT MILK?

HOLY COW!

 MOO!

    Holy cow!  He’s been cowed!  Yes, Scrat, the rat, has undergone a sex change and animal reconfiguration and he is now a milk producing, female bovine!  Wow!  Obviously his latest claim that he’s a simple farm boy is a crock.  I wish I had time to milk this situation to its fullest, but sadly, I have more important things to moo – oops - do.  So I will begin today’s column with this quote from Scrat, the former rat:

    “The gays already made their choice.  It is the others who are finding their behavior ‘acceptable’ and are preaching ‘tolerance’ that will cause the downfall of our country.”

     Wow!  Christians are wonderful people aren’t they?  Jesus loves you.  Yes he does.

BOYD IS COUPLING

     Even Rep. Boyd doesn’t go that far.  “State Rep. Scott Boyd mailed out dozens of invitations to a $1,500-a-plate, $2,000-a-couple fund-raiser that was to net some $100,000 for the House Republican Campaign Committee this coming Tuesday.”  This is from the Friday New Era political column by Tom Murse which was not posted on line and was titled, "According to Time, Spector among 10 best Senators."  Would two gay men qualify as a couple?  Would two gay women?  Or would they each have to pay the $1,500 individual rate?  Someone should ask Boyd his opinion! 

LUNCH IS ON HERR!

    One of the hardest working political candidates out there is Lois Herr, running for the US Congress in the 16th district against Joe (he’s the pits) Pitts.  When Governor Rendell came to town several weeks ago, one of the newspapers quoted her as saying something to the effect of, “I’m going to surprise everyone.  I’m going to beat Joe Pitts.”  I think she will! 

    She is inviting professionals in the Lancaster area to a light lunch at Aroma Borealis, 52 N. Queen St., this Wednesday, April 26, from noon to 1 pm.  The Herr for Congress Campaign will pick up the check!  You are asked to RSVP to calendar@loisherr.us.

NEWLY REVAMPED!

    Speaking of the Democrats, which the Lancaster Newspapers never do, they have a neat, newly revamped website at www.lancasterdems.com.  Wow!  I need to find out who did their site. Scrat, the former rat, now turned cow, offered this – “Also for a small fee, we could give you lessons on how to actually manage a website. Lord knows yours needs it!”  Lord no.  Thanks for the offer but I don’t want to take you away from milking your cow down on your farm!

IS IT JANET?

    Quickly to the email I posted Saturday questioning whether the “lancgirl” Talkback poster is Janet Kelley or the WGAL reporter.  Lancgirl mentions WGAL in four posts.  On November 17, 2005, at 1:00 p.m. she posts that “WGAL is now reporting that the suspect is dead.”  The next day in the early afternoon a poster says that Fox is reporting that David Ludwig is in a video talking about killing family members and at 2:18 p.m. she posts, “WGAL's website is also reporting the same thing.”

    On December 16, 2005, she posts twice, at 11:21 a.m. and three minutes later, both times regarding additional charges added against David Ludwig and being reported by WGAL.

NO OTHER SOURCE

    After the New Era goes to print in mid-morning, the Lancaster Newspapers have “dead air” until the Intell comes out the next morning.  There is no other source for breaking local news other than WGAL and possibly radio stations.  I remember the day Faust was killed.  The New Era article saying he was still being hunted had just been posted online when I received a WGAL “Breaking News” email that he was dead.  I would think that a WGAL reporter involved in a breaking news story would not have time to post on Talkback.  And they were simple, one sentence referrals to WGAL for breaking developments in very important stories on which there is simply nothing a New Era  reporter can do anything about until the next morning.

WHY LIE, ERNIE?  WHY?

    Anyway, enough on that.  No, I can’t prove it’s Kelley but I believe it is.  But I really don’t care.  It will be interesting to see if she posts again.  What I can’t believe is Ernie Schreiber, editor of the New Era, telling me that one of his reporters “would not know how” to go on their own newspaper’s website and post a comment.  If he has any reporters that are that stupid, they need to be fired immediately.  A second grader could do it and a reporter has to be able to navigate websites.  Why the big lie, Ernie?  Why?
