To all people of Christian faith and all people of Muslim faith, Noah has a few words of the wise for you. Faith: A belief  that is not based on proof. Belief: Something believed; an opinion or conviction. Opinion: A belief or judgement that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. Get over yourselves.

    What an unexpectedly surreal morning.     I got in the truck this morning and drove to Todays Child daycare center on Main St. in Whitehall. That's where I was 10 years ago. I decided the other day that it might be the proper place to spend a moment of silence at 8:46 this morning. I'm not sure why I wanted to do it there, if for no other reason than I could. I had intended to be headed back right afterwards but I decided to stay for the second moment of silence at 9:03. I'm sitting in the truck listening to the ceremonies in New York on NPR, watching cars go by  and basically just reflecting when a Whitehall cruiser pulled into the parking lot. To be honest my first thought was,"great, here I am just wanting a little personal moment and the police show up." He asked what I was doing and I explained why I was there and I would be leaving in a couple minutes. He said he thought it was a nice thing I was doing and told me he was working for the Canton police on

     Pennsylvania state Rep. Mario Scavello was so very proud of the job he did by helping his state pass a voter ID law that he said he would take anyone who needed to get an ID a ride to the DMV to get one. He wanted to show his electorate how easy the new ID could be obtained. Alice Carlson took him up on it. Alice is 105 years old and first voted in the 1932 election but now the state said she had to have proof of her eligibility to vote.     The first Epic Fail in this blog was put on display by state Rep. Mike Turzai. Maybe it wasn't so much as a Fail but an oops moment. Notice Mike didn't say the voter ID law was going to prevent the vast voter fraud in his state, he couldn't because there is none. Pennsylvania has admitted in court that there are no current or past investigations of in-person voter fraud in their state and they know of no other investigations or prosecutions in any other state. In fact since 2000 there have been 9 investigations of in-person vot

    At the RNC last week there was a lot of about how we should elect a man with a business background and start running this country more like a business. Before you start in with the "hell yeahs" and "you betchas" you might might want to find out if your state is one that's producing the milk or if your state is one sucking at the teat.     Only 14 states are producing a profit, meaning they give the government more money than they receive from the government. 11 of those states are considered blue states, states who generally vote Democrat. Only Texas, Arkansas and Nebraska make a profit and voted for John McCain in 2008.    What's that mean? It means that the evil liberal states like California, Ohio and New York are propping up states like Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina and 17 other states who voted for McCain and receive more money from the Government than they pay in taxes.     Why do I care?" I don't really, if my states success

    Jessica Biel (D) Vs. Karl Malone (R) Despite the picture that came in the Buzzfeed pick I have to go with Karl Malone on this one. Karl goes against the norm when you think of basketball players. A family man who, after 19 years in the NBA, became an OTR truck driver. He now owns his own truck driving business and has donated over a million dollars to his alma mater. That picture pretty much sums up Jessicas' talent.     John Goodman (D) Vs. LL Cool J (R) I'm not sure how they came to the conclusion that LLCJ was a republican but it doesn't matter. John Goodman made me laugh in Raising Arizona and The Big Lebowski, he wins.     Kevin Bacon (D) Vs. Nick Lachey (R) Not even close. Kevin is family man with a wife that is cute and ugly at the same time, how cool is that. Nick is just a guy that the girls in Hollywood dump all the time.     Larry David (D) Vs. Patricia Heaton (R) Larry has written and produced many TV shows, Pratricia has acted in one, riding Ray

    After Clint Eastwoods bizarre appearance at the RNC I thought I'd take a look at which celebrities are affiliated to which parties and from there it had to turn into a contest. Which political party has the best celebrity backers?     Noting the seriousness of this contest, all information on the celebrities came from the internet (b/c if its on the internet it has to true) and rumors. All celebrities were compiled from lists supplied by the well respected internet site http://www.buzzfeed.com/  (the undisputed #1 site for cute animal videos) and the individual lists can be found here http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/40-celebrities-who-are-republicans  and here http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/40-celebrities-who-are-democrats . I have not adjusted or tampered with the lists, actually I haven't even looked past the first two celebtities to see who will be facing off.        First up: Michael J. Fox (D) Vs. Drew Carey (R) An easy one. They're about even in popularity and

    Ed Rice: Congratulations on your nomination Gov. Romney, that was quite the party you put on in Tampa.     Mitt: Thank you Ed.     ER: How about that Clint, that was quite the moment.     Mitt: WHAT! That crazy old coot stole all my thunder. Nobody's talking about my message and how we once lived in the world of The Truman Show until Obama ruined it all.     ER: The Truman Show?     Mitt: Yeah, I really miss those days, everybody had a job, there wasn't any crime or wars, we all had nice homes and new SUVs.     ER: But Gov. Romney, before Obama got into office we were fighting two wars, unemployment was at 10% and the housing market had already begun its collapse.     Mitt: See, there you go, that's why I hate doing these interviews. I get all nostalgic and you people start in with your facts.     ER: Speaking of facts sir, some people are saying that your party was pretty loose with them at the convention.     Mitt: That was Paul, not me. Besides, I don't

    Ohio voters won another battle this week but the fight isn't quite over. Our District Judge, Peter Economus reinstated weekend voting, citing of all things, the 2000 Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore, "where the state has authorized early in person voting the state may not, by later arbitrary and disparate treatment,value one persons' vote over that of another." But there's no celebration yet, our Attorney General stated "he must" appeal the ruling. I guess "he must" means its his duty to see that 93,000 people (the amount of people who voted on the last weekend in 2008) are denied a vote.     While blogging on Fox Nation a couple weeks ago a woman asked "why should Ohio voters get special treatment?" I told her to turn off Fox News and do her research. Only 10 states don't have any type of early in-person voting, and quite a few allow voting on the final weekend. The only difference is those states aren't swing stat
