This will be interesting

Hopefully he'll give Pennsylvania a positive spin...

Midstate pollster and political analyst G. Terry Madonna takes on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" Thursday night.

The Lancaster Intelligencer Journal reports that Madonna taped a segment as a straight man with "Daily Show" correspondent Demetri Martin, a New York-based comedian, last week.

The Carlisle Pike

I agree with Ed Leach:

Ed Leach of Hampden Twp. said it might be too late to do anything about the heavy traffic that brings the Carlisle Pike to a standstill more often than not.

"There's a shopping center here, a minimall there, everywhere you turn around, there is another mall," Leach said. "They let people build all these shopping areas, but they haven't built the highway infrastructure to keep up with all the traffic.

"We're beyond the point where they can do anything about it," he said.

Both Hampden and Silver Spring Townships are to blame for allowing building to create such road congestion without any good answer to dealing with the congestion. The real downside is that residential and simple two-lane roads are now being used as get-arounds for the traffic, and because those routes are longer, people are much more likely to speed - since they're already establishing that they're in a hurry because they chose to avoid the Pike.

Cumberland Valley School District ought to be weighing in on this as well, since they have so many educational facilities dependent on the Carlisle Pike for transportation of kids.

High Winds

Sounds like the brisk winds and cold temperatures on New Year's Day cut back the attendance of the Penguin Plunge at City Island. That was one of the reasons we didn't attend this year. I think there were nearly 400 of us last year, but this year, apparently about 150.

Still, you can watch the silliness from the comfort of your own PC now.
