NEW YORK - Today hundreds of people gathered in front of a McDonalds on Fifth Avenue with thousands more expected to join in over 50 cities.  The LA Times reports:

The rallying cry in the 1770’s was “Taxation Without Representation”.  They fought a war over it and THEY won.  But we are still losing.

In Pennsylvania, many counties have a bizarre system to guarantee representation of a minority party.  The counties have 3 commissioners and have written the laws to stipulate all 3 cannot be from the same political party.  On the face of it that is fine and good.

However, in practice, this needs some tuning.  The reality is voters can only vote for 2 commissioners.

When New Yorkers return from their Labor Day excursions next week,  they will endure one last sprint of heavy campaigning from the host of mayoral candidates who are vying to top the Republican and Democrat tickets in the November elections.

The Muslim Brotherhood are the bad guys. It’s a story that is now well-known.
