13 QUESTIONS
1. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT?
WELL IN THIS CELEBRITY CULTURE WE LIVE IN I’M SURE HE WILL GET HIS SHARE OF SUPPORT. THE GUY HAS ESSENTIALLY WHORED OUT HIS NAME SINCE HE NEARLY WENT BANKRUPT IN THE 90s. HE IS A SELF PROMOTER AND CAN CONVINCE YOU THAT WHAT HE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IS THE “BEST”. HIS NAME RECOGNITION IS VERY STRONG. THAT’S THE UPSIDE. THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH ANY TYPE OF GOVERNMENT OTHER THAN TO LOBBY IT. HE HAS YET TO DEMONSTRATE ANY FOREIGN POLICY ACUMEN. PLUS WILL MIDDLE AMERICA, MAKE THAT "BIBLE BELT, I LOVE JESUS, I AM CHRISTIAN HEAR ME ROAR" TYPES ACCEPT A THRICE MARRIED GUY WITH A REPUTATION A MILE LONG? IF HE DOES ENTER THE RACE, HE’LL MAKE IT INTERESTING.
2. HOW IS IT WORKING OUT COVERING THAT CIAVARELLA TRIAL?
I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW CHALLENGING IT IS PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. DOING IT EVERY DAY IS REALLY EYE OPENING. KUDOS TO THOSE WHO DO IT ALL THE TIME. ON THE TRIAL ITSELF, IT IS OBVIOUS THE PROSECUTION IS BUILDING A DEFENSE ONE STEP AT A TIME. VERY CAREFULLY THEY ARE CROSSING THE “T’s” AND DOTTING THE “I’s”. THE DEFENSE HAS SEEMED TO HAVE NOT GAINED ANY TRACTION. BUT THEY HAVE NOT PUT THEIR CASE ON IT. JUDGE KOSIK IS A CONFIDENT MAN AND IS NOT SHY ABOUT CHALLENGING BOTH SIDES AND ALSO EDUCATING THE JURY AS TO THE SIDEBARS (OF WHICH THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN A FEW) AND OTHER ASPECTS OF THE TRIAL. NO MATTER WHAT THE VERDICT, THIS WILL BE SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.
3. HOW ‘BOUT THEM PACKERS?
YES, HOW ‘BOUT THEM! IT WAS A GOOD WIN. I WAS VERY CONCERNED IN THE LAST MINUTE BUT VERY HAPPY FOR AARON RODGERS WHO WAS IN THE SHADOW OF BRETT FARVE OR MAY YEARS. STILL HAVE THE FLAG FLYING ON THE HOUSE!
4. ON A RELATED TOPIC, TWO QUESTIONS, DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR # 4 JERSEY AND DID YOU ORDER THE HAT AND SHIRT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GAME?
STILL HAVE THE FARVE JERSEY. AND NO I DID NOT ORDER THAT STUFF. I HAVE WAY TOO MANY CLOTHES AND ENOUGH PACKERS TEES TO LAST A LIFETIME. I DON’T NEED ONE THAT SAYS WHAT IS OBVIOUS TO MOST EVERYONE: THEY ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS. AGAIN.
5. FAVORITE PACKER AS A KID?
HOURNING.
6. WHAT ABOUT SOME OF THE CANDIDATES THROWING THEIR HATS IN THE RING FOR COUNTY COUNCIL? REACTION?
WHAT STRIKES ME ABOUT THE COUNTY COUNCIL RACE SO FAR IS THAT IT SEEMS THAT NOT MANY KNOWN POLITICAL COMMODITIES ARE GOING FOR IT JUST YET. IT IS STILL EARLY AND WE ARE REPORTING AS BEST WE CAN THE CREDENTIALS OF THE ONES TAKING THEIR SHOT AT IT. BUT THIS MIGHT BE N ELECTION WHERE LESS THAN 6,000 VOTES CAN CARRY YOU TO VICTORY
7. DID YOU SEE THE O’BRIEN AD WITH HIS NEW RUNNING MATE FOR LACKAWANNA COUNTY COMMISSIONER?
YES. I THOUGHT IT DID WHAT IT NEEDED TO DO.
A) REMIND PEOPLE THERE IS AN ELECTION.
B) REMIND PEOPLE THAT COREY O’BRIEN IS GOING FOR ANOTHER TERM.
C) INTRODUCED HIS NEW RUNNING MATE IN A BROADCAST SETTING THAT HAD THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF VIEWERS.
8. WHAT’S WITH JACK WAGNER, THE PENNSYLVANIA AUDITOR GENERAL. I SEE HIM ON THE NEWS CONSTANTLY.
JUST DOING HIS JOB. HE’S TERM LIMITED OUT AND APPARENTLY HAS NO WHERE TO GO IN 2012 WITH BOB CASEY GOING FOR RE-ELECTION. WAGNER IS A SERIOUS GOVERNMENT REFORMER BUT ALSO A VERY AGILE POLITICO. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY HE LIKES WHAT HE DOES AND IF A CAMERA IS AROUND, ALL THE BETTER.
9. I JUST GOT FINISHED READING “WEATHER OR KNOT”. IS THE ELIJAH’S HOT DOG PALACE BASED ON THE ORIGINAL ABE’S ON SOUTH MAIN OR THE OTHER ONES?
THE BOOK IS ONE OF FICTION. BUT I DID COUNT THE STOOLS IN THE ABE'S ON SOUTH MAIN STREET.
10. YOU REALLY INSULTED CHRISTINA AGUILERA A ON YOUR FACEBOOK BOOK PAGE SUPER BOWL NIGHT. ARE YOU SORRY YOU DID THAT?
NO. SHE WAS HORRIBLE. SHE MADE ME NOSTALGIC FOR ROSEANNE BARR. LAST NIGHT MRS. LULAC AND I WERE AT THE PENGUINS GAME AND THE CHORUS FROM SCRANTON HIGH SANG THE ANTHEM. THEY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. AND THEY SANG IT WITH DIGNITY AND HONOR. NOT LIKE SOME FLOOZY IN A BAR.
11. I SAW YOUR BIT ON FRIDAY NIGHT’S “TOPIC A” ON WYLN TV WITH THE FEDEX BOX. IF YOU GOT A FEDEX BOX FILLED WITH MONEY WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH IT?
DEPENDS ON WHO’S GIVING IT TO ME. IF IT CAME WITHOUT EXPLANATION, I’D STICK IT IN AN USHER’S BASKET.
12. WHEN YOU WERE A KID WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
SAME AS TODAY. CHEERIOS, RICE KRISPIES AND RAISIN BRAN.
13. DID YOU SEE THAT RECENT PICTURE OF TINA LOUISE? YOU’RE THE REDHEAD GUY, WHAT’DYA THINK?
SHE LOOKS LIKE A WOMAN IN HER MID 70S. THE BIRTH MARK ON THE FACE NEVER DID MUCH FOR ME. I WAS MORE OF A LORI SAUNDERS (BOBBIE JO FROM PETTICOAT JUNCTION) KIND OF GUY. SHE’S THE ONE IN ORANGE ON THE LEFT).

I don't get the vitriol or venom concerning Aguilera's rendition. It was soulful and full of passion. She has a great voice, for those of us who appreciate her style and she belted out the song in her signature style.
I have heard the National Anthem played by various military bands over the years. Depending on the instruments that composed the band resulted in variations on the song.
Those of you who want her to sing it as it is supposed to be should remember that it was never intended to be sung. It is a poem, intended to be recited.
But if you must here it one static way, then let's forget Jimmy Hendricks' version. Let's just go to elementary school and listen to the flut-o-phone versions.
Dear Mr. LuLac,
I asked a question a while back after the Tucson attempted assassination. You had opined, something to the effect, that someone should have seen this coming. The alleged shooter had left an evident trail through actions and the internet that something was up.
I had asked you a question which you did not approve. I thought, perhaps you were saving it for 13 questions, but alas, it isn't here. I will pose it again, because I think it is extremely relevant. There is a local blogger, who espouses much the same inflammatory, hate filled and paranoid rhetoric that Loughner had been reported to have spewed. My question is; Do you in the blogosphere have a responsibility to report him to the FBI or Dept. of Homeland Security? If he goes off the edge similar to Loughner and you all kept quiet, should you shoulder if not the blame, guilt?
Thank you
P.S. I don't believe I have written anything that would be considered obscene or inflammatory. So, I hope you publish this. I was genuinely unsure of why you didn't last time.
Bobbie Jo???????
Are you nuts?
C'mon!!!

FIRST OFF IF ANYONE WAS MAKING A THREAT TO ANYONE I AS A CITIZEN WOULD REPORT IT. IF ANYONE WAS SPEWING HATE ON A BLOG, I'D NOT HELP THAT PERSON PROMOTE THE HATE. THAT SAID, I AM UNFAMILIAR WITH THE BLOG YOU SPEAK OF. SEND ME AN E MAIL WITH THE PERSON'S BLOG HANDLE OR LINK AND I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THEN ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION FULLY.
Big Dan's Big Blog. He has never threatened anyone, but he sounds just like that kid from AZ.
All I want to be when I grow up is Yonk's Usher!
The Nation Anthem is the face of America. It has written and familiar notes. It should be sung the way it was written and these so called artists have absolutely no right to stand up at a national event and bastardize it. It is not open to interpretation, it is our, my national anthem and I want it sang correctly and with pride. I wonder how those who died in its defense would react to it being sung like a pop tune or in a coffee house in the Village?
The Trial? Kosik is setting this up for an appeal, you heard it here first.
Weather or Knot ....... Finished the book and keep forgetting to contact you. I really did enjoy it and you showed you have a real ability to tell a story. If you had put a crazy ending into it such as "the mayor did it", I would have jumped for joy. I applaud you and your talent.
Your Lunch Buddy.
I didnt watch the Grammys, but I would like to announce next years new male artist called
Sir KaKa who will be arriving on the red carpet in a turd. He is totally without talent and will fit right in. Watch for upcoming information on the web.
Mark my words, this running mate will be Corey O'Brien's Sarah Palin ... and his downfall.

The melody is stolen from an old English drinking song and so far as I know nobody has died for it or would. Soldiers dont die for songs or flags. If you think they do youve never been one thats for sure. One place for agreement however is, if you are going to sing it sing it right. I personally think it works best as an instrumental. Perhaps one answer is to be more careful in choosing who sings it at events.
