9. Oh, what a tangled web Governor Corbett has woven.

What's interesting is that the House GOP is threatening to not do any more business this year. Since the Republicans hold a distinct majority in Pennsylvania's house, they have passed almost every piece of stinking ALEC legislation that Corbett has handed them.

Does this then mean that the Repubs won't be passing anymore of Governor Gashole's giveaways to corporations? Will the Republicans stop trying to mandate trans-vaginal probes? Does this mean that tens of thousands of working Pennsylvanians can get Adult Basic Insurance again? Will the Republicans finally stop cutting services to the Pennsylvanians who are disabled or poor while refusing to tax multi-international oil and gas companies?

At what point do the Republicans stop ruining Pennsylvania's public education systems with their draconian cuts? When will they stop giving taxpayer money to for-profit charter schools who are committing fraud (and being investigated by the FBI)?

It's almost a blessing that the House GOP is threatening to not do anything else this year. It's just a shame that so many children had to suffer the horrible abuse that brought about that turn of events.
