Bill Shuster is sautéed in wrong sauce

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

In a district that is made up of blue collar workers, farmers and seniors, Bill Shuster has got to be the most unpalatable of Congressmen.  Bill Shuster is out of touch with this district’s values and he has amassed a collection of Zeros from interest groups that support the welfare and interests of the people […]

Johnny Cash and Johnny Rotten

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

Here’s how they are gonna come at us.  The GOP can’t talk about the economy, with all the K-Street deals; they damn sure can’t talk about ethics or even the usual “Values” issues because we can bring it back to ethics.  A recent NBC/WSJ poll said that while a majority of Americans don’t like the […]
