If you are looking for an example, check out our Sautnergate story from last summer.  There is a new example from northeast PA's recent celebrity visit. In this example, local activist Vera Scroggins (who always asks for respectful debate) shows us exactly what she means by that term. 



Readers of this blog are very familiar with the name Vera Scroggins, a/k/a Vera…

Promised Land Needs Real Jason Bourne

Promised Land is another weak plot movie geared toward sending a politically correct message. That message is based on false information and naive goals, not to mention a lack of courage in addressing real energy issues facing our nation. We could use a real Jason Bourne about now.
