Bloggin' on WGPA 1100 AM With the Anti-Blogger, Ron Angle
On Wednesday, Ron Angle will continue his frontal assault against bloggers on his WGPA 1100 AM talk show from 8 to 10 AM. You can livestream, and your calls are welcome at 610-866-8074. Yesterday's show prompted lots of comments like this: "Attempting to have an intelligent conversation with Ron Angle is like trying to convince a pig it is beautiful while laying in pigcrap and mud." But MadBatter actually likes Ron, "because HE IS A MISERABLE BASTARD! I hope he is on the board until he dies, because we need good government types, regardless of political party."
Angle intends to announce legislation decriminalizing any assaults or acts of violence against bloggers. In fact, he's toying with the idea of an annual hunting season to thin out the herd. Incidentally, I got a close look at the back of his neck yesterday, and I swear I saw the numbers 666.
In addition to the silliness, I'm hoping we can deal with some real issues. Yesterday's conversation with Congressman Charlie Dent about Northampton County election irregularities, for example, prompted a lively discussion with local party boss Joe Long about the need for reform. And Joe Long actually continued that discussion on this blog.
Feel free to call in, or post your comments here, and I'll try to get them on the air. And for all bloggers out there, I'll be guest-hosting a week of shows starting December 26. If any of you who want to come on right wing airwaves, just drop me a line - BOHare5948@aol.com.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
What's wrong with Northampton county? Look in a mirror Ron
ReplyDeleteRon knows a lot about sleazinze and bottom feeders
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Naz teachers should pay for their own guns in the classrooms! In lieu of raises, I'd be willing to pay for their ammo to protect themselves
ReplyDeleteInstead of spending a million here or there to help build roads for developers, they could give raises to the "Troups".
ReplyDeletePeople can criticize Stoffa all they want, but he is a stand up guy.
ReplyDeleteCome on Bernie, someone has to referee the free for all tommorrow! You better be here!
ReplyDeleteWhat's a good reason for not having a contract? What's a good reason for going years without a raise? Stoffa is honest, but follow the "Nike" ideal.
ReplyDelete"Just Do IT"
Ron, does yelling make your point?
ReplyDeleteThey wanted to KEEP their jobs
ReplyDeleteDemothug, is that you?
ReplyDeleteI think you need some documentation O'Hare
ReplyDeleteCasey should stay in Lehigh, we have enough problems
ReplyDeleteJolly Joe is making good $ on all this---solution to NC Employee sit:
ReplyDeleteSeries of charity boxing matches between Jolly and Ronnie A. In fact, one match would fill BASD/BANKO.
1/2 proceeds go to an NC Employees fund--other half goes to help non-human animals.
Anon 9:48, I assume you mean that I need documentation of Dan Sell's statement to county council that he, an 11 year county carpenter, is paid no more than a part-time Taco Bell employee on prison work release. Sell made that statement to county council, and no one asked hm to prove it. Had he been lying he could be prosecuted for false statements to authorities. So I believe the statement. But I'll ask him a little more about it. As far as the home heating and food stamps are concerned, I've spoken to several employees, but I'm not going to embarrass them by listing them by name.
ReplyDeletein response to a charity boxing match between angle and timmer... jolly not joe wouldn't do a thing for charity if there wasn't a buck in it for himself
ReplyDeletejolly not joe timmer wouldn't do a thing for charity unless there was a buck in it for him
