EVENING COFFEE: Cancer fighting coffee

February 27th, 2009 · No Comments

A rare Friday for ”Evening Coffee” due to a quirk in our reporter schedule. 
I feel vindicated this afternoon. From FOX News:
A cup of joe a day may help keep skin cancer away: A new study shows that caffeine helps kill off human cells damaged by ultraviolet light, one of the key triggers of several types of skin […]

EVENING COFFEE: The missed Bidenism

February 11th, 2009 · No Comments

HARRISBURG - If you want the fastest cup of Starbucks coffee in what I believe is the entire world, come to the shop that’s in the Harrisburg Hilton. Never longer than 90 seconds, even when crowded. Impressive.
Don’t have much time to chat. I have to shortly rush to the Harrisburg train station to catch an […]

Keep Casey in the Senate

November 24th, 2008 · No Comments

 Saw last week WGAL interviewed U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr., and Ron Martin asked if Casey is likely to serve in an Obama administration as a cabinet appointment or in some other capacity. Casey said no.
Smart move.
Casey would be a loyal, hardworking soldier in the Obama cabinet, and having a much higher profile than the […]

Palin’s New Day

October 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t like declaring “winners” of debates because to do so is to minimize the event. It’s not like points are scored, tallied, a halftime show, then a rush to the final whistle with a last-second shot. In fact, we won’t know who “won” for about a week when the post-debate polls show whether there’s […]

Will these Irish candidates save civilization?

October 1st, 2008 · No Comments

There’s an old saying that the Irish saved civilization. As a decendent of Irish immigrants, I’m rather proud of that. According to some theories, when the Roman empire collapsed under barbarians, it was the Irish - never fully under Roman or barbarian rule - who preserved monastaries and the ability to write books while Europe […]
