Simple Simon

Local area czar of self-importance Simon Campbell of Lower Makefield, PA, he of the web site Stop Teachers Strikes, spread more disinformation today about Patrick Murphy in the Bucks County Courier Times, alleging that Patrick is completely beholden to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a charge which is flat wrong in addition to being patently stupid (witness Patrick's recent vote against the budget, for example).

I also happened to find out that Campbell, while not busy propagandizing about teachers and unions, has also found time to start a blog (who hasn't these days :-) to advocate for his causes.

I probably shouldn't extend to him the courtesy of a link, but I'm doing so to point out something. Others are more knowledgeable about this sort of thing than I am, but Campbell really should have content with his links. Anybody can link randomly to other news sites, but the trick is to stick your neck out, so to speak, by stating your case and letting people agree or disagree with you, or is not doing so Campbell's own acknowledgement that his cases are really weak?

(By the way, this is my 2,000th post - no fanfare please; well, if you really insist...)
