I've been told to turn my flip cam off twice now, once during deliberations by Bethlehem Township's Zoning Hearing Board, and another time during a candidates' night at Allentown's NAACP. My reporter friends tell me I'm a gutless wimp who should have stood up for the public's right to know.This morning, I found out just what happens when some officious judge of elections tries to stop an Express Times photographer from clicking away at a polling place here in the People's Republic of Northampton County. "Steaming Cup of Joe" Owens, who happens to be Editor, started blowing oil the moment he heard of this injustice. He immediately hopped into his batmobile and screamed off to his polling place in Upper Nazareth.
He was clicking away with his camera phone when one of those ninety year old pollworkers confronted him. Joe cocked off, and this old fart started swinging away. President Judge McFadden did send an emergency communication letting everyone know that pictures are OK, but not until Joe lost a few teeth.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Joe should be assaulted for his fish wrap's ongoing assault on proper grammar and sentence construction.
Amen to that!
What? You can take pictures at the polls! What's next? Charlie Dertinger for Congress?
gutless wimp...sounds about right!
I'll bet Joe stomped his foot and harrumphed to show his displeasure.
Joe and his student paper represent a strong case for repealing the First Amendment.
Steaming Cup of Crap Joe Owens is about as useless as the rag he works for. Hey Joe, how about a story on your bossman Till's membership at the Saucon Valley Country Club and why subscribers need to subsidize it.
Now that is a real Steaming Cup of Crap!
Aw, leave Fred Flintstone alone.
I had an interesting discussion about additional layoffs in Easton with Marty Till - while playing 18 on the Old Course at SVCC. Those poor commoners.
I love those old blue haired polling ladies. I commented about the low turnout today and she snarled, "There's no one important running today."
Hey anon 11:12, she was right!
Maybe when Steaming Pile is done writing about Marty's swinging ways, he can help readers understand how he manages to suck up a pay cut via unpaid furlough days and yet still afford a World Series ticket.
