Now that I’ve seen what my niece actually did, I can’t quite believe it. She jumped up?

Gov. Tom Corbett, the invisible man
Marcus Hook was one of the towns I covered as a reporter, and now it’s on the edge of losing the one main industry. The Republican governor is largely indifferent to their plight: “Marcus Hook is a town teetering on the edge of destruction. Last year, Sunoco Oil announced that it would shut down its refinery in Marcus Hook. This refinery has employed residents for generations; it provides a tax base for the community, and directly funds part of the [...]

PA state representative Kathy Rape -er, RAPP- is your garden variety Republican. She claim to love children while supporting anti-child policies. She stands for family values, like poverty and hunger. And like all republicans, she wants the government small enough to fit in your uterus. Enjoy our latest Piggie of the Week: Bookmark It

Freedom of Religion……
I’ve been kinda grumpy today. I must have a Newt hangover. He came to visit the West Jawja area and I had tired of hearing about it, so I am not going to talk about it. Moving on to other crazy people, there is Congressman Phil Gingrey, Republican from the 11th district of Jawja. Oh, that’s DOCTOR Gingrey, pro life OB-GYN. A friend dropped this letter from Dr. Gingrey into my email box this morning……. Dear Friend: Thank you for [...]

Hmm
So intellectual journals in general are rather lax in publishing pieces by women writers! I am so very, very shocked. Seriously, don’t kid yourself. It happens in the blogosphere, too. I still remember a young Ezra Klein (yes, even younger) lecturing me about expecting to be supported by male bloggers when I hadn’t paid my dues, like him. “Uh, Ezra, I’ve been blogging a year longer than you,” I said. Oh. Here’s why it’s important: Because women in general are [...]

Susie, your niece went through all of that and still has her beautiful smile? What can we do to help in her current situation?
5:40 pm
She’s good. She was one of the few people in the building with renter’s insurance.
5:52 pm
WOW! What an act of ‘sheroism’! The apple doesn’t fall far…………she JUMPS UP…
7:12 pm
Looks like gutsy women runs in the family. You’ve a right to be proud.
11:55 pm
Wow. Hero, indeed. What a clear-thinking and brave woman!

When this was reported on local news, there was mention of a woman who had jumped 4 feet to the next door building. They said she had previously thought about how she might have to escape and imagined herself making that jump, feeling sure she could do it.
WOW.
But FIVE FEET and somewhat upward?
Then, coaxing others to do the same?
WOWSER!
BTW, the building itself had character and looked like it added charm to the neighborhood. Too bad it was destroyed. Waaaay way too bad the fire alarms weren’t working.
And Caroline is just lovely, speak so well — does she look like you, Susie? She has your speaking composure.
9:09 pm
Caroline looks like both sides of the family but more like her mom. She was a top-ranked college lacrosse player, which might have helped her under pressure.

That jump is astonishing.
It’s a miracle that several people were able to do it safely.
The collective adrenaline must have been flowing copiously.
I agree about the building, Jawbone.
It must have been one of the better apartment houses in town, architecturally.
