PHOTO INDEX: THE BLOGGER AND HIS MOM WHO WILL CELEBRATE THE 47TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER 39TH BIRTHDAY SATURDAY AND LACKAWANNA COUNTY COMMISSIONER GOP NOMINEE (AGAIN) ROBERT CORDARO.
BOB'S BACK
Robert Cordaro is back on the GOP ballet for Lackawanna County Commissioner. The county GOP organization nominated him on Thursday night. I say keep him there and have candidates who are not viable in the party stop with their court challenges. Let Cordaro and Munchak run on their records, let the voters in the County give them a thumbs up or a thumbs down. If Cordaro is again forced off the ballot, then a possible Democratic victory will be as hollow as President Bush's win in 2000. Let both teams run on the records, the proposals for the future and even their own personal characters. Let the debate begin, but let it start in the fresh air of the campaign trail and not in some musty courtroom.
COMMENTS
We are getting tons of comments on our commentary on Mrs. Curley's legal problems. (Bob Curley's mom, not the killer wife, just so you don't get confused.) We are doing our best to moderate some comments and publish them. Others, well we just have to not let them see the light of day. But I have to say this, Mrs. Curley's story touched a nerve among my readers.
DO NOT CALL!!
Pennsylvanians are reminded that they need to re-register for the state's 'Do Not Call' list. It was in the late summer of 2002 when Pennsylvania residents started registering their phone numbers on the state's Do Not Call list, which prevented unwanted calls from telemarketers. By September of that year, more than 2 million signed up. But now it's time to re-register, something that many people may not have been aware was necessary. On Wednesday, state Attorney General Tom Corbett kicked off a public awareness campaign, designed to remind consumers what many have either forgotten or never knew: The 2002 law set Do Not Call registrations to expire after five years. Corbett told reporters, "For those people who were in the first 2 million Pennsylvanians to register in the summer and early fall of 2002, you must re-register by September the 17th of this year, or your number will be dropped from the Do Not Call list on November 1st.""It is important to remember that although your number may be registered with the Do Not Call list there are exceptions under the law that allow telemarketers to call your home," Corbett said. These exceptions include calls from, telemarketers who have had an established business relationship with you within 12 months preceding the call, tax-exempt charitable organizations, veterans' organizations chartered by the U.S. Congress and calls made on behalf of a political candidate or political party, or telemarketers calling at the express request of the residential telephone customer. Corbett said that the law also prohibits telemarketers from blocking their telephone numbers from a person's caller ID device. More information is available by calling 1-888-777-3406, or online atwww.attorneygeneral.gov <http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/>
Mrs. LuLac put us on the do not call list and I have to say it has been quite peaceful. But once in a while a call will sneak through and I'll get into gear by doing one of the following:
1. Reciting the lyrics to "Red Rubber Ball" by the Cyrkle.
2. Saying "Hut Set Ralston On the Rillerah" a song title from the 40s that was actually used as code in WWII.
3. Screaming, "Senator Barkley and I are going to win this election and make those Republicans like it" in my Harry Truman imitation. The line was from his nomination speech in 1948.
4. Saying, "Is that you Carlisle, are you finally coming home to you ma and pa from Canada? That war is long over boy, come home to us. Then I break into a rendition of the late Lee Hazlewood's "God Bless the U.S.A". If they're still on the line after that, I'll do a few stanzas of Kenny Roger's "Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town".
GOOD TIMES!
By the way to get you in the mood to get your name on the DO NOT CALL LIST, how about a little banana phone!

Shocker! Bob back on the ballot. Make a joke of Lackawanna County and call it politics when the opposition mentions it!
Hes no longer news to anyone with the slightest idea of whats goin on here. They managed to act worse than the Democrats
And that’s no small achievement.
You're wrong on this one Yonk, we should not let the county's top elected officials alone. It should not be okay to skirt election law. How dare anyone bring up his "mistakes". Besides, I must admit, it is fun to watch the silver tounged one demonstrate Corbett's inability to do a talk show interview, Sue Henry's partisianship and Kevin Lynn's whinning that Bob won't do his show.
And it is even more fun to listen to him spin yarn after yarn.
1. I admited I made an error filling out the forms --- no Bob, you were caught.
2. I'm not sure if I will accept the republican committee's offer to replace myself on the ticket --- that's why the Cordaro/Munchack commercials have been airing all over the place.
3. I couldn't afford to fight this --- please, you have the money, you ducked the court battle, but most importantly you didn't have to testify UNDER OATH.
4. The opposition is trying to beat us in the courtroom not in the election -- wrong again, they aren't going after A.J. and if you ATTORNEY Cordaro filled out the forms correct (just once out of twice) there would have been no challenge.
and on and on and on and on.... either way there is only going to be Cordaro or Munchack in office next year, not both...
Prediction
Commissioner A. J. Munchak and
Mandalay entertainment's newest executive --- Robert Cordaro.
You're still reciting the lyrics from Red Rubber Ball? Things haven't changed much. Your brain should be passed on to science, there's some kind of mental illness going on up there.
Your Komotion Date From Duryea
donotcall.gov is the national thingy.
Why are you singing a song about the late Dean "Hut Sut" Ralston?
People can also monitor their calls thru an answering machine, letting their friends know they do this and will pick up when they hear their voice.
Don't try to outfox the telemarketers; they've heard it before.
Well, why *are* you singing a song about Dean Ralston?
Dave,
This item about Bob Cordaro is the same issue that I am fighting in Luzerne County concerning Rick Cronauer in District A City Council race...This man has omitted Income and Expenses on his Committee report and his Candidate report...He was allowed to amend it and the County District Attorney will not investigate the complaint that was registered by me regarding Campaign Finance Law violations...I think you need to post something about this as well..This is Party Politics at its finest in Luzerne County....Mr Cronauer recieved 3000.00 in Income and does not have to declare where it came from on his Campaign Finance Report ? I filed a complaint with the D A and there is not going to be any investigation because County Solicitor Neil O Donnell says not to investigate the complaint...since when does a COunty Solicitor dictate to the County District Attorney concerning Criminal Matters ????
Lee GREENwood, I do believe. Also believe he still walks among us. HAZELwood died recently.
How 'bout you tell that telemarketer who gets you that, "I'm the housekeeper, they have me locked in the basement. Can you help me?"
You can also try, "Listen, hon, give me your phone number and I swear I'll get back to you at home."
Alternately you can give them a boatload of info about someone you really don't like, or do what I do 99% of the time - hang the hell up on them.
Cordaro claims he might not run. Gotta check with the family. OH, please! What bullshit! If he’s not on the ballot, I’ll kiss **** **** ******** ass on Courthouse Square. I believe he’s gonna take a beating in November. He will blame it on others in a speech reminiscent of NIXON’s after he lost to Pat Brown in Calif. I cant wait!
And what will become of poor Oliver AJ Hardy? Will he have to go back to his successful, but bankrupt business or will a job open up with the Health Care Company he created to handle the Jail?
As Minority Commissioner I hope Cocky Young Corey treats him like he and Bob treated Washo and like Corcoran and Alberigi treated Prince Bob before he became King.
And what of poor Oliver AJ Hardy? Who will tell him what he thinks? Oh yes, it wont matter what he thinks cause nobody will pay any attention to the Minority Guy! What will ever become of Poor AJ now that he sacrificed his integrity to be Bob’s "edit" Boy! The beat goes on.
Democrats get the county back for the next 30 years!
Cordaro for Congress? Maybe!
Bob Cordaro has to think of his family and Karl Rove leaves for the good of his family. Jesus these guys are shameless!
Beware the man who calls on Family or God because he is a liar and hypocrite!
IN RESPONSE
Well, why *are* you singing a song about Dean Ralston?
I'M NOT. I'M A KING'S MAN THROUGH AND THROUGH!
