March 9th, 2009 · No Comments

Over-caffeinated and over-stimulated. Gonna be on the radio tonight. See below for details on how to listen in.
Let’s dive into the political pool:
 
The buzz at the Nest today is about Gov. Ed Rendell’s announcement regarding emergency actions to try and heal an ailing economic situation in Pennsylvania. Rendell announced at a presser how he would start spending money […]

Recovery in sight … on the Web

March 5th, 2009 · No Comments

Okay, I’m not done with the work week just yet.
Found my way over to Gov. Ed Rendell’s new Web site that details how the Obama administration’s economic stimulus package will impact Lancaster County. The Web site is www.recovery.pa.gov. Not exactly Hulu or YouTube, but you know, just in case you feel inclined eating breakfast with […]

EVENING COFFEE: WAM!

March 4th, 2009 · No Comments

Stopped by Cross Keys in downtown Lancaster to say hello to the proprietor, Jerry. And let me alert you caffeine-heads to something here I like to call a little slice of heaven. A 16 oz. medium roast coffee made from Indonesian beans and a succulent cinnamon-apple muffin cost less than $3, and you’ll be hard […]

EVENING COFFEE: Pork and lawmaker pay

March 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

The kinda evening for a mug of coffee, no? New snow’s on the ground, feels like Canada’s Northwest Territories out there, kids off from school. Fire up the brewmaster!
Hold onto your WiFi, there are some veddy veddy entertaining interesting debates going on in Harrisburg to start the week off:

If you think state lawmakers earn too much […]

EVENING COFFEE: Reinventing the Republican brand

February 24th, 2009 · No Comments

I have a suggestion for you sweet-flavored coffee lovers. Trek on up to Senorita Burrita at 227 Prince St. and order a latte with sugar-free hazelnut syrup. You won’t find a finer tasting sugar-free hazelnut anywhere else.
I’m not going to focus too much on President Barack Obama’s propoganda pitch speech tonight to a joint session of Congress. […]

EVENING COFFEE: The other way to help job creators

February 16th, 2009 · No Comments

How goes it? If by chance you are headed to The Mean Cup in Central Market for a cup of joe tomorrow, I highly recommend their Costa Rican Fair Trade brew. Spill a little sweetener in the cup, let it cool for a few minutes, then let the Latin American liquid mingle with the sweets […]

EVENING COFFEE: The curious case of R.B. Campbell

February 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Hey, have a seat. A little slow in the political spectrum this Tuesday, but hopefully two things will charge the arena up. First, the medium cup of sugar-free chocolate latte from Prince Street Cafe I’m having, and tonight’s Hempfield Area Republican Committee endorsement meeting.
Two countywide races within the local GOP are shaping up with some […]

EVENING COFFEE: Java jolt for Obama presser

February 9th, 2009 · No Comments

Cup of Folger’s by my side tonight, all I can think as the caffeine kicks in is this: Someone PLEASE page President Barack Obama’s message man. Or fire the guy and get a new one.
 
About the only thing worse than the economy was listening in on that press conference, and it’s only because I could […]
