November 20, 2008More than 200 Lower Southampton residents packed into a church basement last night to air their largely negative views about a planned Community Center in a meeting with the Township’s Board of Supervisors.
Courier-Times writer Gema Duarte does readers a disservice by applying a false manufactured balance in reporting the meeting. The tone in the room was decidedly anti-Center. Residents jeered nearly every pro-Center comment by the Supervisors and presenters and cheered nearly every anti-Center resident who took to the podium.
At issue was the wisdom of building an unwanted and unfunded $11-million dollar taxpayer albatross that will never make the Township any money, and relies on half of its users coming from outside the Township to even be viable.

Grab your morning coffee and a nice, sticky bear claw and head to the computer to check the morning news from Calkins Media’s Bucks County Courier Times Online. “Your Internet Starts Here,” don’t you know?
Advertising dollars must be harder to come by than I thought. On the bright side for the BCCT, the red dots totally obscure anything untoward and are not suggestive of anything else in either shape or color.

Patrick Murphy’s Public Relations firm, also known as Calkins Media, will see two of their Democrat-biased publications host debates among the three candidates vying for Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional district seat.
The Murphy-Courier-Times will prop Murphy up during a debate on October 15 at 2PM at Bristol’s Riverside Theater, and the MurphyIntelligencer will toss Murphy softball questions at Central Bucks West High School on October 29.
In addition to accidentally elected Democrat Congressman Patrick Murphy and Republican Tom Manion, Bucks County’s own Pat Paulsen candidate Tom Lingenfelter will participate in the events.
One of the questioners at the Murphy-Times event will be Gary Weckselblatt, who was last seen reporting on Patrick Murphy’s bumbling dry-mouthed Democrat Convention speech from a Patrick Murphy Watch Party and Phone Bank, trying to present the reaction of pro-Murphy partisans as if they were representative of the population at large in a report entitled “Murphy Delivers in Prime Time.”
Bucks Right was able to obtain Weckselblatt’s scratch pad that reveals a draft of the questions he plans to pose to the candidates.
To Pat: Tell us how you met your lovely wife Jennifer.
To Evil Manion: Inexperienced pretender Manion, please describe how Republicans ruined the economy.
To Pat: Would you like to come to dinner with my family?
To Pat: How did you get so dreamy?
To Scary Manion: Big pharma candidate Manion, why do Republicans want to poison our water and kill our children?
To Lingenfelter: Describe your greatest problem with the Manion candidacy.
How did the Manion campaign allow Weckselblatt to be a questioner, and why did they agree to appear with spoiler Lingenfelter?
Lower Southampton Township has completed a $1.1 million transaction purchasing the Meadowbrook Road property on which they originally intended to build the town’s disputed and unfunded community center.

Dave Sommers at BucksNewsOnline focuses on the level of coverage the Bucks County Courier-Times is devoting to third-party PA 8th Congressional District candidate Tom Lingenfelter and wonders if they aren’t intentionally propping Lingenfelter up to siphon votes from Republican challenger Tom Manion and help Democrat Patrick “Li’l Pat” Murphy.

Back when gas was $2 a gallon no one carried firearms with intent to commit crimes, robbed convenience stores, or slept off “a marijuna-induced buzz” (sic) in their cars. Back in February, when the price was $3.18, well you just had to rob. Now that the price is upwards of $4 a gallon, look out. All hell is going to break loose.
Under the headline “High gas prices=Armed robbery,” Bucks County Courier-Times reporter Laurie Mason tells the tale of Michael S. Ragland and Deshawn K. James, 19-year old victims of high gas prices that hail from Florida.

There’s an old vaudeville comedy routine called “Slowly I Turned,” where one of the actors hears a certain phrase that drives him over the edge into a state of agitated mania much to the surprise of an unknowing onlooker. For Patrick Murphy, it seems there is also such a phrase: Karl Rove.
