Proofreading Philly

Listen, MSNBC. We know you were in a bit of shock about the whole Democrats-losing-elections thing (we're equal opportunity pundit haters around here), but don't you think you still could have maybe proofread your screen titles?

  • Governor Rendell is all fired up about the people who are still questioning President Obama's citizenship. We're kind of tired of the story ourselves, so we appreciated where he was coming from when he referred to these protestors, or "birthers," as being "absolutely nuts."

    Rally for Equal Rights

    In most parts of Pennsylvania, it is still perfectly legal for an employer to fire someone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Likewise, a person can be evicted or denied housing. This denial of basic civil rights needs to end, and thankfully, a bill (House Bill 300) was introduced on March 4th in the House of Representatives which would add sexual orientation and gender identity or expression to the list of protected classes under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. The Act currently protects against discrimination based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, handicap or disability, education, and the use of a guide dog. The bill was proposed by Dan Frankel (D), a representative from Allegheny County, and has a whopping 79 co-sponsors, from both parties and from all across the state.

    The Curious Case of Arlen Specter

    Pennsylvania is an increasingly Democratic state. In 2004, Kerry won the state by a hair; Obama won it with a handy ten percent lead. In 2004, twelve of nineteen Keystone Congressmen were Republican, as well as the two Senators. Now, eleven representatives and the junior Senator are Democrats. In 2004, there were roughly 500,000 more Democrats than Republicans in the state; during the extended primary last year, that lead expanded to well over a million. To Republican Pat Toomey, however, that's clearly not enough. For this reason—at least, it's the only reason that makes any sense—he announced yesterday that he's considering a primary run against Arlen Specter.
