I suspect most of you have seen Senator Arlen Specter’s television ad “No Show Joe” by now. In case you are like me and do not have a television you can view the video on the web site Senator Specter set up to go with the ad.

There are so many problems with the ad and its web site that I cannot address them all here. For right now I will only address the most scurrilous claim in the ad. I will address some of the other issues in another blog post. They are unrelated to the subject of this post. (more…)

I just got home from the Vice-President’s rally for Senator Specter. It was a great time and the little band of veterans we rounded up at the last minute accomplished our purpose.

Our little group of veterans probably could not have achieved more at the rally if we had 100 people there. We did not think we would be able to get into the rally. The newspaper had said you had to get a ticket from Senator Specter’s office yesterday. As the woman issuing the tickets told me when I ask, due to a communications problem not as many people as expected could come. Basically they were desperate for any warm bodies. (more…)

I found the blog was down when I tried to post an article earlier today. Luckily I had a backup of the blog so I managed to restore all the users and articles after reinstalling the WordPress software. I do not think the blog was off-line for very long. I was working on it last week. I think something went wrong when one of the plugins updated.

If anyone has problems with the blog in the future contact John Harvey, the Blog Master.
