She has said she thought it was an off the record thing. You would think a communications professional might have handled that a bit better though.

I think you made the right call. I think I could legitimately make the top 25, if I lost 30 pounds.

Every year when The Hill's 50 Most Beautiful list comes out, Scott Cunningham collects as many copies as he can. He stuffs them neatly into envelopes and sends them to all his colleagues with a handwritten note that reads: "You are number 51!"

But if you ask Cunningham, who serves as both legislative director and scheduler for Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-Texas), that particular quirk isn't what makes him a legend around Capitol Hill.

What he is most known for, Cunningham says in his lilting Texas drawl, is the number of weddings he attends. He has been to 83 nuptials since college.


that sounds like the saddest thing ever

His birthday is in August, and he’s planning two parties — and if you’re looking for an invite, it’s likely all you’ll have to do is ask the social butterfly, who says his main hobby is “meeting new people, bringing people together.”

Ladies with passion in particular: Sanchez is newly single and said he’s only been on one date in the three months since he and his ex-girlfriend broke up.

But it’s not for lack of options — Sanchez said when he and his ex took a break last year, he went on five or six dates in two weeks.

“I was going for quantity over quality,” he said of the time.

Now, however, he’s playing for keeps.

“I'm not playing around anymore,” he said. “It's seriously like, go big or go home now.”

Lawrence O'Donnell counting the minutes until the Christie/Paul debates

He's been in Christies capacious drawers lately further than our JHoya, if that's possible

(gotta admit I'll find entertainment in watching him dismember the reedy twerp Paul myself)

The chief of Police in teeny tiny Gilberton, PA posted this video:
(yootoobz)


In August 2011, Kessler was allegedly shot in his hand with his own gun while he was off duty at a Girardville tavern.

Kessler is also a member of the North Schuylkill school board.


This dickhead also shot a dog.

And formed a "Constitution Security Force" (civilian militia) chapter, to defend America from tyranny.


well, NOW they're scared...of phone callers!!!:
GILBERTON - The Gilberton Borough Council meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. today has been canceled due to irate telephone calls to borough hall prompted by the controversial YouTube videos recently posted by borough police Chief Mark Kessler.
The council meeting has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. July 31 at the borough hall in Mahanoy Plane.

Gilberton Mayor Mary Lou Hannon said Wednesday that the telephone calls were answered by secretary Tina Antalosky, who was shaken by the loud, angry words used by callers.
"It was the tone of voice that they had and what they were saying," Hannon said. "She kind of felt threatened, even though nobody threatened her. They were talking about Mark. She got very uneasy about it.
"It's been nonstop. There have been calls galore," Hannon said.

The two YouTube videos were filmed by Kessler in a remote location in the area. The first video of 1 minute, 34 seconds, voiced his opposition to comments made by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that the Obama administration would sign a United Nations treaty on arms regulation - passed by the U.N. General Assembly on April 2 - despite bipartisan opposition in Congress to the treaty.

The second video that runs 2 minutes, 45 seconds, is a follow-up by Kessler responding to negative comments by some viewers who objected to his vulgar language and the firing of automatic weapons in the first video. The profanity and the gunfire increased in the second video.

The weapons in the video are legal weapons and belong to the police department after he purchased them with his own money and donated them in a transaction approved by the borough council, Hannon said.

"I'm trying to wake people up to say, 'Hey, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.' A lot more," Kessler, 41 and a father of four, said in an interview from Texas where he was vacationing. "It goes way beyond the Second Amendment, the First Amendment. It's a shame. Our founding fathers didn't intend for our government to be the way it is."

Kessler, who called himself "a wholeheartedly good man who loves his country," acknowledged that some people were upset by the videos but he said he does not regret posting them and insisted that many more people were supportive of them.

Hannon said state police have been notified of the phone calls.

"I wanted them to be aware of what was going on," Hannon said. "I made a report that we had the calls. I had also asked if they (state police) would cover our meeting. We're taking security precautions right now
."

let's hope this all blows over before their new meeting time

he was finally suspended by a city council vote of 5-1 (though he continues to be on the school board and it was for firing his weapon improperly). he was flanked by many an armed supporter at the vote:

In wake of his suspension, Kessler reiterated that his first and only oath is to his country, not to his badge or police uniform. But he stopped short of answering whether he would post anymore videos.

His attorney intervened, cutting off the question from the press and answering for his client: "We have no comment."

VA Govenor's race is shaping up to be curious.

The Republican is the AG who has put some distance between himself and the scandal embroiled current govenor. The AG's staff shielded him from the emerging scandal under the auspice that he might have conflict, but it looks like political chess to protect his campaign. In general Ken Cuccinelli is a far to the fringe right winger obsessed with legislating how the citizen live (i.e., getting into my life through state law to shape his vision of morality).

The Democrats feature a guy who would give Smuggles a run for his money. He makes rookie mistakes and does not come off as ready for the job IMO. Qualitifed, yes, but his early approach seem to be more around the idea that he is not Cuccinelli. The win strategy for the Dems seems to be what imploded thier party the last go around of not putting too much red meat out there for anyone to chew on. The strategy is so relaxed that it is hard to remember that McAuliffe's first name is Terry.
