1. A PA State Rep once told me...

...that "Pennsylvania is the best state money can buy."

Simply explained, PA has one of the most corrupt and easily bought state governments in the country. Not a lot of people realize it though.

All you need to do is spend a little time and look through our laws regarding lobbyists and lobbying. Loopholes galore.

Not to mention that seeing this kind of thing from an R doesn't really surprise me.

3. Shuster inherited the seat from his father

who was head of the Transportation committee and was up to his neck in corruption. "60 Minutes" did a piece on him that included a part where they caught him hiding on the floor of his girl friend's (a lobbyist) Jeep trying to dodge his wife.

DelGrosso (R) will run in the primary against Shuster. DelGrosso's company makes a good pizza sauce and salsa.

5. I had no idea they made salsa

Their spagetti sauce is tasty, and a lot cheaper than the national brands.

2. Bottom feeders

This is typical of today's cynical politicians. I'm sure it's going on everywhere. What a jerk!
