From Crooks and Liars:


The GOP-dominated PA state house approved their new budget last night, and thanks to a lot of tricky last-minute bills, amendments and little public input, it looks like a right wing Christmas list -- with Gov. Tom "I'm Owned by The Gas Industry" Corbett as Santa Claus. About the only bright spot in this mess is that a last-minute push for school vouchers failed -- but Corbett says he'll bring it back in the next session. The other highlight is that the budget displaces many, many costs to the local municipalities under the guise of "preventing" tax increases:

When is the local piece of paper trash and it's brown-shirted managers going to vent their collective spleens at the Republican Governor (Tommy "Space Cadet" Corbett) and the Republican run legislature for their "late night" meetings to screw the public?

VND reporter Tommy Yerace has no problem covering the Highlands board Meetings so his masters can bitch about questionable procedures and "illegal" meetings. The ultra right wing partisans at the editorial part of the garbage dump that passes itself off as a newspaper don't have the balls to report or editorialize about the "secret meetings" Pa. Republican lawmakers have held to add shit to the budget that will help big business and hurt the people.

Come on, Dom. Get your head out of Richard's butt and at least pretend to be a journalist or whatever you think you are.

Let's see a front page report on those late night Republican meetings and while you're at it, kindly show the residents here, especially seniors, how cutting spending like the asinine Ryan Plan, when there's no money coming in to workers, will lower the budget deficit in Pa. or the U.S.?
Betcha can't do it!


These are the people you residents voted for - at work late at night so that you have no input into what they decide is best for you.

Are you voters really so stupid to believe that the person with the best ads, biggest lies and nicest haircut are the most qualified to run this state? Why don't you vote for Paris Hilton or Britney Spears? They are as qualified and maybe more so!

But you know better and now you're bitching because Tommy Corbett cutting education funds so that your local taxes will go up; so that the costs of everything you buy will go up rather than see a Republican tax the Marcellus Gas Drillers , who, by the way, in case you live under a rock and only watch network TV, the majority of Marcellus Drillers have been bought by Exxon/Mobil and other big oil companies! Guess what that's going to do to natural gas prices? Don't forget, now that the Marcellus shit is owned by big oil, they don't have to pay any tax on the Pa. gas (thanks to "No Tax for Big Business" Tommy) they get while being able to charge you outrageous prices! Nice deal...for them. Screwing for us. And you're ready to blame everyone but yourselves for not trying to learn all you can about the issues...probably because it may take up 20 minutes of your valuable Dancing with the Stars or Survivor time.


That's right. The majority of the GAS rights in Pa. now belong to Big Oil with their subsidies and tax breaks. And you bitch about the deficit and Social Security and Medicare?

Remember! YOU voted to allow these Republicans to screw you, so don't complain...
at all!
