Blogging Buffet Part 1: The Party

Karl Rove: Repeat Leaker
Ron Suskind: Articles: "Sources close to the former president say Rove was fired from the 1992 Bush presidential campaign after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief and Bush loyalist Robert Mosbacher Jr. It was smoked out, and he was summarily ousted. "

This was in January 93 in Esquire... Before the other source said it was uncovered.

Karl Rove: I didn't do it
Apparently, Rove testified to the Grand Jury that he heard from Robert Novak and another reporter that Valarie Plame was a CIA Operative, and that his telling yet another reporter this secret information that these other reporters shouldn't have had wasn't his fault because he's just an innocent gossip monger, I guess is his defense. God forbid he have any kind of national security clearance.

The Local Blogosphere: about to get a land rush?
Had a call from the Evening Sun yesterday from Seth Goldstein [blog] who is doing a story on local bloggers. They (to my knowledge) are few and far between, in relation to the about 125K population of the Hanover/Adams area (Adams County 100K, Hanover area of York 25K?)

Or at least it's hard to find anyone who identifies themself as FROM this area, as 2/3 of Adams County are not from Adams County. In fact, half of elected officials aren't natives (including yours truly - but I am a native tenth generation Pennsylvanian with ancestry in 18th Century Adams Co.).

But I digress. Hopefully, we'll see more people get online for more than reading other people and maybe doing a little "acting locally" while they're thinking globally.

Fun to be had, meetings to attend
Monday night is the next Democratic Party meeting at the VFW/Home Association on E Middle Street in Gettysburg at 7:00. Many of us are now members (again, yours truly included) so we could go early.

Bob Casey is coming to Adams County
Bob Casey's coming to the area on the third at General Sajer's house. See http://www.adamsdemocrats.com for details. ($100 a person)

Young Democrats of America
That said, I can't go because I am shelling out all my cash (more than I can afford in fact, I could use a little fundraiser myself right now) to get to San Francisco that same day for the Young Democrats of America National Convention. We could use about $1000 to send our people without going into hard personal debt to do it. We've raised about $750 of which $400 has been collected so far of the $1800 it takes to send three people.

Annual Picnic (Party Time)
The Democratic Club is holding it's annual picnic in Bonneauville soon and is also on http://www.adamsdemocrats.com - This one's only $10, and is worth it and FUN.

James Muller is the Democratic Nominee for Sherriff

McSherrystown Stuff
I know this stuff don't have nothing to with McSherrystown. I'll be blogging about that stuff soon. I'm going to get my rear in gear since people might actually visit soon. (LOL)

Thank You to All Who Voted

EDITED December 21, 2010: In September 2009 I moved to Meadville to be closer to ailing family. This was a decision that is still sometimes difficult. My old 717 cell phone number was assigned to someone else, and the new person began receiving calls relating to my business at all hours. To reduce this, I am redacting my old 717 home and cell phone numbers from this post, as they are not my current numbers. Please visit www.facebook.com/herbriede for up to date contact information. In addition, I discontinued my mayoral website in 2010. To avoid confusion, I have removed the link to this as well. I miss McSherrystown, my girls miss it, they grew up there, and it is a good place to live. - Herb === My wife, my mother and I wish to say thank you to all of those people we met while greeting voters at the polls. As your next Mayor, I take the position of Mayor seriously. I ran on establishing 24 hour police protection and making the roads safer for pedestrians and drive...

Evening Sun - Former McSherrystown mayor remembered

Evening Sun - Former McSherrystown mayor remembered : Former McSherrystown mayor remembered By ASHLEY ADAMS Evening Sun Reporter Article Launched: 08/29/2007 10:17:36 AM EDT Most people knew him as the mayor of McSherrystown. To some, he was just plain "Moe." To his family, he was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. But for everyone who came into contact with Cyril T. Noel, he was a trustworthy, generous and dependable man who gave to his family and community without expecting anything in return. Noel died Saturday at York Hospital at the age of 82. "We really are going to miss him because he was our rock," said his wife, Frances Noel. Cyril lived in McSherrystown his whole life and, as a young boy, acquired the "Moe" moniker. "Everyone has a nickname in McSherrystown," said his son, David Noel. "That's just how they did it." Frances said Cyril never liked his given name. He even had an uncle who would call him ...

//IMHO// The Occupy Movement's goal? - A Constitutional Amendment, Perhaps?

Have you actually read the Occupy Declaration ? I don't think the goal is just fixing what has gone wrong by making people pay their fair share and getting people back to work and general economic and social fairness, but fixing it permanently. The declaration says "THEY" often. Who are "THEY"? It's not Millionaires - it's CORPORATIONS. What action would permanently address every point in the Declaration?? Perhaps a constitutional amendment permanently reversing parts of, any or all Supreme Court " Corporate Personhood " decisions: - Citizens United v. FEC - Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad - Dartmouth College v. Woodward is required. Specifically, I can imagine demands/effects such as: - The ability of a state to revoke a corporate charter (Corporate death penalty) - The invalidation of Corporate "personhood" and revocation of all Constitutional protections given to corporations given to people unles...
