QUESTIONS

Our 13 Questions logo

 

1.  Are you liking the new umpire checks in baseball?

 

I look at it this way. The science of pitching is so precise that with balls and strikes, the umps aren’t missing by much.  On the close calls at the bases, that will help with the fairness of the game. The only thing I don’t like is the ghost runner and I understand I am not alone in that.

2.  Do you think the President has lost his mind?

I think he is unstable, narcistic, and has painted himself in the corner on this one. He poked the wrong bear and has insured that Iran will be our enemy well into the next century.

 

3.  Do you think Medicare and Social Security will be at risk?

 

Absolutely. This President has lied, has shown himself to be a careless cretin who is full of shit and will in a heartbeat sell out seniors, the sick and disabled without blinking an eye.

 

4.  Why do you insist on calling the President a pig?

Because he is. He has no regard for anything or anyone but himself. To call him a small child is an insult to small children everywhere.  Small children learn, they grow, they share. HE DOES NOT. I am only seeing who he is and describing it.

 

5.  Easter candy favorite?

A nice piece of Dark Chocolate Cadbury and some nonparells.

 

6.  Are you excited for the concert at Kirby Park for the 20^th century?

 

Anytime big name entertainment can come to Kirby Park, I’m in. I am so very glad Wilkes-Barre was one of the cities chosen among the 5.

 

7.  The Paige Cognetti campaign seems to be off to be  off  a good start. But can she withstand the assault coming from the MAGAs?

I’m sure she can. The GOP lie machine is already throwing bullshit at her to deflect the failings of the GOP agenda under Trump and the shape they are leaving this country in. But I’m confident she can handle it.

 

8.  How many living former Congressmen do we have from our district?

Four. Kanjorski, Barletta, Cartwright and Holden.

 

9.  Name the current athlete that you’d like to meet in this era?

Caitlin Clarke, hands down.

 

10.              Have you ever met any First Lady of the United States?

No, I did not. 

 

11.              Are you confident that the Trump administration as well as Vice President Vance win at the negotiating table?

I don’t. There won’t be any career diplomats in the room because all of them were sidelined by the Trump administration as “not needed”. What they don’t understand is these people had history and institutional knowledge with Iran. The chance for a misunderstanding or worse is greater than ever.

 

12.              Comments on Melania’s statement about Epstein.

I think she was doing her own damage control.  But she can’t deny the photos. However that stated, I know Al Gore and baseball great Mike Schmidt were uncomfortable with taking photos with strangers. So there’s that.

 

13.              Favorite out of town restaurants?

Smith & Wolensky in New York, Carrabba Grille in Allentown, Bud and Marilyn’s in Philly  and Chestnut Hill Star Diner in Stroudsburg.
