Campaign Signs Are a Hot Commodity This Year

Campaign signs are a hot commodity this year. A long-time campaign volunteer explained that this is in part due to Pennsylvania’s races being so tight that the two federal races (President and US Senate) are spending mightily on broadcast advertising, forcing up the rates for downballot candidates. Un turn, this forces them to allocate resources […]

How to we measure the labor of the unpaid workforce?

Eat'nPark

I miss breakfast. My wife and I had a tradition on Monday holidays to go out to breakfast. Sometimes it was Eat n’ Park, sometimes Waffles Inc. It was our joint appreciation of the rest we had earned thanks to the labor advocates around the nation. And it was a small, but simple tradition that […]

Who Runs the World? Cat Ladies? Cat Ladies!

I have seemingly millions of trail camera photos from the colonies and TNR adventures. My cat lady adventures. My misfires. My questionable wardrobe choices.

For years, I have ranted about several facts. Two of them are 1) Pennsylvania legislators have never successfully passed any LGBTQ affirming legislation and 2) they haven’t cleaned up their mess around anti-LGBTQ actions. One such mess is closer than ever to being cleared. The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has approved legislation to remove the […]
