PHOTO INDEX: STATE CAPITOL BUILDING AND OUR HEALTH CARE LOGO.
OBAMA’S OFFENSIVE
It appears the President is not only getting into campaign mode, but “fight” stance. Annoyed by resistance to his health care reform plan, the President is calling on Blue Dog conservative Democrats to get with his program. He is also taking his message to the net and is not shy about calling out the people who are against him.
Here's Obama’s Message.
The Democratic party has started running ads to sway the American people. This ad doesn’t say much on specifics but that’s the point.
WANNA SEE THIS GUY????
Rumor has it that National RNC Chairman Michael Steele might be gracing Luzerne County later this year. Here he is on cable opposing health care. Check out the part where he has no idea what health plan he has.
A GOOD IDEA
Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia said the city would reluctantly withhold up to 20 percent of the wages of city workers who are behind on their property taxes unless they pay up or enter into payment agreements.This might be a good thing to try in Luzerne County. There might not be a lot of county workers who owe back taxes but what about all those businesses that got breaks through KOZ rulings and zoning boards? Why can’t we go after them?
BUDGET BLUES
The state House rejected a Senate Republican budget proposal that cleared the way for a bipartisan conference committee to work it all out. The Democrat-controlled House voted 150-49 against the budget plan that the Senate passed Monday. Both sides believe their differences can be resolved. "Hopefully we can do it within hours or days, and not weeks," said House Majority Leader Todd Eachus, (D., Luzerne) told the Harrisburg Patriot. Okay, so by disagreeing you’re going to agree faster? "This is the appropriate process for resolving the differences between the Senate and the House," said Sen. Majority leader Dominic Pileggi (R., Delaware). "This process should have started in May after passage of Senate Bill 850." YOU THINK, DOMINIC?????? The House and Senate proposed budgets are several billion dollars apart.
POLLS APART
Ed Rendell and the Legislature are getting low marks from Pennsylvania voters because of the state budget fiasco.
A statewide Quinnipiac University poll found 27 percent of the state's voters approve of the job the Legislature is doing. The poll found the Democratic governor's rating had plummeted to 39 percent. That's the lowest since he took office in 2003. 90 percent of Pennsylvania voters think the inability of the governor and state Legislature to pass a budget by the June 30 deadline is a "very serious" problem. Rendell garnered the most blame for the budget stalemate with 30 percent of the voters, while 17 percent blame the Republicans in the Legislature; 11 percent blame the Democrats; and 28 percent blame everyone equally.
With that, here’s a special song going out to the Governor, the Pa. House and of course the Senate.

Steele is an empty suit who fit the GOP profile just as Sarah fit the ticket (she is a female and an attractive one/ he looks the part and has a great smile). One from each catagory. Neither up to the job! Anybody remember Dan Quayle?
The Groucho Marx video/song says it all. Never mind the polls, throw them, the Legislators, the Governor, ALL OUT!!! THey stink! I used to watch PCN to learn and relax myself, now I just get aggravated.
God Almighty! I never thought I'd say this but I miss Kevin Lynn. Rob Nyehard was so jingoistic today on health care it wasn't even funny. He never met a side of an issue that he couldn't take. Hey Rob, your health care isn't going to be taken away. All that is going to happen is health care, like broadcasting is going to get competitive. And the strongest product will survive because of that competition. Kind of like the difference between a full time talk show host and a fill in talk show host.
I thought Corbett was going to swallow his tongue when Neyhard said he was at the White House. If Corbett asked, he would have known that in the 90s when Rob was sucking up to the Rodham brothers, he got a few invitations to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Then Rob began dsucking up to the moron that followed Clinton. I'll never forget him peeing his pants when said moron came to the Airport in '04 and Rob asked him (the moron) about fishing. Let us be reminded that these guys, Nyehard, thomas and Henry brought you Bush. And Bush and the wall street people are to blame for the economy and the mess we're in. Rob and Joe, please stick to sports.
Life in NEPA Continues. Just saw the Times on line saying that the second child of that abused lady died from his injuries in Scranton. As you know, there was a PFA against the guy accused of trying to burn the house down. Obviously that did not work. This is a tragedy all around but I'd love to know if the accused is an out of towner or local. As always, with the mistakes and passions of adults, the children always suffer. And in this case, DIE!!!
The people in Harrisburg, your buddy Rendell included are a disgrace. And I need to point out that the best cure for WILK AM & FM is Daniels and Webster.
I heard Nyehard today dissing a knowledgable Duke from Dallas on WILK and kissing Phyllis from Ashley's ridiclous ass. Par for the course. Bring back Kevin Lynn! Now!
Okay, what have you done with Dave Yonki? Kidnap him? There's some criticism of WILK on this site. What did you do with him?
There is so much ignorance about this health care reform. No one will lose their coverage. No one will be denied services. All it is will be competition for the big insurance companies that are overcharging customers and underpaying doctors and overpaying hospitals. And as for those critcizing Obama, it's only been 6 months for Christ sake!!!
The budget should have been passed long before this delay. All you posters bitching about it should either run against these entrenched overpaid clowns in '10 or give tons of money to people who will. Car allowance, per diem, my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:04 has it right in my opinion.
To accomplish anything the man must get past his opponents in the GOP and the morons in his own party. Its slow going that way...

I'M HERE. NOT KIDNAPPED. ROB NYEHARD AND JOE THOMAS ARE CONSUMATE PROFESSIONALS BUT THEY HAVE VIEWS COUNTER TO SOME OF THE MORE PROGRESSIVE MEMBERS OF WILK. THE CRITICISM WAS BASED ON WHAT THEY SAID AND BELIEVED, THEREFORE IT WAS POSTED. BUT IF THERE WERE ATTACKS ON THEIR LOOKS, ETC., IT WOULD BE EDITED.
