  • Christopher Freind Should Obama Politicize bin Laden Killing? Absolutely!
    Written by Christopher Freind

    Coaches aren’t on the field, but they get credit for success.  Why the double standard from the Right? If you’re wondering why America is no longer able to make even the most basic, common-sense decisions, there are two simple answers: extreme partisanship and willful hypocrisy. Forget the desire to seek truth.  Many on the Right and Left are simply incapable of seeing the real picture, even if it’s smacking them in the face.  And those rare souls who do rise above partisanship to tell the truth are viciously discredited by their own, branded “traitors” and “sellouts.” The incessant calls for…

  • Christopher Freind Convert Oil Refineries To Process PA’s Marcellus Shale Natural Gas
    Written by Christopher Freind

    Delta Airlines Refining Oil Doesn’t Solve The Problem Psst: Don’t tell anybody, but the worst-kept secret in  Pennsylvania is that the natural gas industry --- the only economic salvation our dying state had--- is leaving in droves, replaced by job loss, budget holes and despair. Like most tragedies, this one was preventable. Only common sense and foresight were required. But those traits were pumped dry long ago, so instead of experiencing a booming economy rooted in the rebirth of American manufacturing, Pennsylvania is now witness to yet another long exodus of our best and brightest.  And the Commonwealth’s march toward…

  • Christopher Freind Corbett’s Colossal Cockiness Castrates His Credibility
    Written by Christopher Freind

    Corbett’s Colossal Cockiness Castrates His Credibility Candidate Choice Creates Calamitous Clusterf**k of Carnage “Stevie Welch sat on a wall (of cards); Stevie Welch had a great fall (winning a mere two of 67 counties). All of King (or is it Joker?) Corbett’s horses (jackasses), and all the King’s men (endorsements by 27 County Commissioners and 35 State Legislators), couldn’t put Stevie’s candidacy together again (4 of 5 Republican voters rejected the Welch-Corbett-Obama “ticket”). And so Freindly Fire’s prediction that Governor Corbett-endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Steve Welch would come in a whoppingly-bad third place was proven correct, though it didn’t take a…

  • Christopher Freind Corbett’s Love Affair With The Democrats: An Election Letter Back At Ya’
    Written by Christopher Freind

    Well, primary election day is almost here, and some of the races have gotten downright nasty. From disingenuous, mean-spirited campaign ads to a Democrat masquerading as a Republican accusing his opponent of being a Democrat (did you get all that?), there’s something to satisfy everyone’s entertainment needs. Perhaps the ugliest race is the Democratic contest for Attorney General (an office that Party has never held), pitting a woman against a whiner: prosecutor Kathleen Kane and former congressman Patrick Murphy.  Murphy certainly can’t run on his record (there isn’t one), so instead has charged Kane with being a millionaire trucking executive.…

  • Christopher Freind Corbett’s US Senate Candidate Is An Albatross Around His Neck
    Written by Christopher Freind

    The Guv’s man, Steve Welch, is an Obama Voter, infuriating many in the GOP It’s the bottom of ninth, you’re down a run, two outs and a man on second.  Should he try to steal? Hell no. A single probably scores you, and getting thrown out ends the game. Simply stated, the risk outweighs the reward. But if, for whatever reason, the decision to steal is made, there’s only one rule: you damn well better make it. Fail, and you’re toast with the fans, the media and your teammates. For the political equivalent, look no farther than Pennsylvania Governor Tom…

  • Christopher Freind I Was Wrong To Question The DRPA
    Written by Christopher Freind

    Later this year, it is possible --- even probable --- that the following individuals will all be in jail: former powerhouse Senator Vince Fumo, former House Speakers John Perzel and Bill DeWeese, Senators Jane Orie and Bob Mellow (both of Leadership), and former Representatives Mike Veon and Brett Feese (also from Leadership).  On the one hand, seeing corrupt politicians brought to justice is a good thing, as is all the money they are giving back to taxpayers via forfeited pensions. But there is a downside. While such offenders should obviously be prosecuted, people’s cynicism toward their government seems to be…

    Why don't you investigate the proposed Rutgers-Rowan merger. I think they are pushing for a rail line between the schools. DRPA is spending money on a study on the impact. Norcross and Sweeney need to be investigated.

    Yes,,all free rides need to end to current and retirees for bridges and trains.Hey you guys were paid for your job.You did not work for free...so please pay your share just like all other citizens. This is a tax payer authority not a corp organization. Any organization that derives its income from taxation is not entitled to any freebies or perks.

    I am glad someone has spoken out about the DRPA.Even though I have not known the inside make up of the organization, I have always said that DRPA has no business spending money on advertising and promotions and building stuff and takng on debt that is not concerned with the Bridges.This is toll money collected from people who can barely afford the basics in life. My reccomendation to Chris is to write to the Gov and ask for the firing of the Entire Board.at DRPA.They are all a bunch of back scratchers of each other. We need a total overhaul. A new guard.
    The next topic Chris u need to tackle is the firing of the Freeholders. We dont need them They are spending Camden county tax collected monies on concerts and unnecessary newsletters etc.Taxes are going up everyday. Their use and time are now over.
