Underdog Militia Report

Unfortunately the server that hosts underdogmilitia.net went down sometime Tuesday night (June 9), and was down until I discovered it at about 2:30 am on June 10, 2009.

This also had the effect of shutting down my email service, so any emails sent during that time was most likely lost.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Last week I first read about a concerted push for an increase in the hotel tax in York County from 3 percent to 5 percent. I talked about it in my podcast.

It turns out the BS is deeper than I thought.

Two of the three York County commissioners voted to spend $40,000 of tax money on a tourism ad promoting York County. Then I find out the $40,000 was part of a $50,000 ad proposed by John Riggle, who happens to own a marketing firm. Mr Riggle allegedly contributed $2,000 toward the ad, with the remaining $8,000 coming from the York County Economic Development Corp.

The ad ran on TV and radio in May, and it contained a toll free number. Now you think that is bad enough?

The 3rd circuit court of appeals in Philadelphia, ruled against reading pages from a bible in class.
An article can be found on Law.com

Now here is what grabbed my attention: “Writing for the court, 3rd Circuit Chief Judge Anthony J. Scirica said “parents of public school kindergarten students may reasonably expect their children will not become captive audiences to an adult’s reading of religious texts.”

When parents participate in an elementary school’s curricular activities, Scirica said, school officials have the right to require that the parents refrain from promoting specific messages in class.”

I’ve always believed that there is no such thing as motion without cause.
It never ceases to amaze me how everything I do, even the small things have an effect on the world around me.

Example: Yesterday I approved the first comment from moderation on my blog in this article. Previous comments were either spam or just plain unacceptable.

That is how I found this really cool site: Naturally Good Magazine.
I spent hours reading articles, listening to The Health Wyze Report (their podcast), and reading some great blog post in their blog section. (continue reading…)

This podcast starts off with a message to crooked cops. I will also dicuss a new hotel tax in York County, child labor laws, traitors destroying the USA, and Grand Juries.

I thought this was really cool. I mean, men standing up and speaking out about their place as leaders in civilization is great.

From the article: Hayward said one of the biggest myths borne of the women’s movement was that men like to help each other out.

“We are competing directly for access to women and jobs,” he said.
It is great to see someone pointing this out. The article discusses how their are a bunch of women’s advocacy groups, but no men advocacy groups. And then one of the women’s groups is complaining : Jessica Pan, president of Women in Business and a fourth-year student, questioned whether Men in Power’s goals were being met by existing student groups
Talk about open hypocrisy!

These females don’t understand that there are plenty of advantages to being female.

For instance :
1- Free drinks, food, gifts, etc.
2- Many government programs that cater to female exclusively.
3- Getting all the sex you desire simply by saying yes. (unless you are really fat or disfigured) Even the best looking men has to “have his game on” and stick his neck out. And every man gets shot down sooner or later.
There are others I can’t think of right now. If you have any to add, leave me a comment.

When I first started this blog it was because I have something to say. I want to report on the news from my point of view. Specifically focusing on the Capitol region of Pennsylvania. I even started putting videos on a youtube channel and started a podcast on this blog. I plan to put a podcast up at least once a week, most likely on the weekend.

Now I do go to a regular wage slave job. I have a rule about not writing or discussing my “job” or company on the internet. However, I will say this, it is a great company, and in this economy I am glad to be there. On the other hand it does cost me money to maintain my web server and this does take up a significant amount of my spare time. Not just writing articles but, research, recording, editing, etc. (continue reading…)
