MAYBE I’M AMAZED
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..at how stupid and selfish some “sportsmen” are. Take those two cats from Hunlock Creek who went ice fishing on a 50 plus degree day and fell through thin, melting ice. The idiots were rescued but I think they should be fined for putting the lives of first responders at risk. Anyone of those on the rescue unit could have died saving these “sportsmen”. And the kicker here is they aren’t kids either, one is in his 60s and the other in his 70s. As a reader of this site and a friend of mine is fond of saying, “You can’t fix stupid”.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……that finally one politician told the truth about jobs. Congressman Matt Cartwright in an interview with Times Leader columnist Bill O’Boyle said a Congressman or Congress doesn’t create jobs but rather partners with various institutions to improve the economy. This is another reason why Cartwright has won respect through his first term.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the first spam message was sent by telegraph in 1864. It was an announcement regarding a Dentist’s office hours in England.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that this Malaysia Flight story will turn into cottage industry for years to come. It is a story that will resonate through the next few years. As a follower of the news, it the narrative also points out just how foolish it is to predict stories on New Year’s Eve for the upcoming year. The news if nothing else is unpredictable.
MAYBE I'M AMAZED.....that when The Canadian group The Guess Who played for President Nixon in the 70s First Lady Pat Nixon requested they not play "American Woman". Quite frankly I think Mrs. Nixon was more of an Archie Bell and the Drells fan.
MAYBE I'M AMAZED...that people attending the Wilkes Barre St. Patrick's day parade were told they could park at Penn Plaza but in reality they could not. Parade goers cars were towed. Wonder if they will be reimbursed for that massive amount of misinformation. But that little hiccup did not deter this year's parade from being remembered as the biggest and best ever in Wilkes Barre.
MAYBE I'M AMAZED...that Pepsi is advertising little cans when Coke has had these things out for years.
MAYBE I'M AMAZED...that Napoleon Bonaparte was really not that short. In fact he was five foot seven which was the average height for males at the time he was
alive.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…….that after all these years Bobby Vinton still has the staying power as an entertainer. Vinton is set for another appearance at the FM Kirby Center this May. Vinton is in his 6th decade of incredible popularity. From 50 years ago:
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……….that a kid got up to the top floor of the New World Trade Center by persuading a Security Guard to give him a ride up to the top of the finished work area. Then he climbs up to the broadcast tower. Great security. Thank God it wasn’t a terrorist.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……..that I have never seen such a horrible backlash against a New York City Mayor in my lifetime as I have with Bill deBlasio. Starting with his Swearing in ceremony where he allowed his supporters to trash the outgoing Mayor and a few other miscues, you have to think this guy might be a one term Mayor. David Dinkins redux?
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…….but not really that Luzerne County Controller Michelle Bednar’s office completed several audits and is proposing more, including of bail forfeiture, the Bureau of Elections, district attorney's office drug forfeiture money, fuel log usage and petty cash funds. Mmnnnnn. And this is the person who was not supposed to have a clue about Financial management and audits right? There are observers who are using the old adage regarding her performance so far as “slow and steady goes the race”.

Holy shit, she is doing the job of a controller, and not running to the press w/each audit she completes to blow her own horn.
Thank god that asshat Walter is gone.
One general question about he Bednar term of office, how many audits should she have done? I guess we were too used toHeadliner Walter Griffith's constant efforts to be a head line that we didn't expect audits to actually get done. I'm not throwing stones at Bednar yet, but I do want to know just what she should have done in this time in office as opposed to what she has reported as having been done. This is not a criticism, it is a legit question. We the people really don't know what should be going on because the newspapers only report BS and never anything of real substance.
I'm Amazed at how Kathleen Kane goes thru press secretaries! There's a story here...
"one is in his 60s and the other in his 70s."
...reportedly the only surviving members of the 1955 Polish Ice Hockey team who tragically drowned during Spring Training. They were on the bench at the time.
Maybe I am amazed that the families continue to hold out hope for the downed airliner. I dont want to be unkind, but where do they think their relatives and the plane are? On an island. The plane went down. The rescue effort could perhaps have been handled better, but to no avail. The news media has been disgusting and ridiculous in the handling of the whole case. CNN Breaking News apparently translates into the same old news and they have been especially bad!Now the conspiracy theory buffs will have a field day.
Sad event, badly mishandled. I dont think they will ever find anything and it will go on and on and on. Imagine the coverage the mudslide would have gotten if not for the preoccupation of the US media with this event and what else and who they would have found to fill the hours and the panels of dubious experts.
