[ ] Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Az.) will be in Bucks County Friday. (Intelligencer)
From the story:
In his first Bucks County campaign stop Friday, John McCain will host a town hall meeting at a Pipersville company embroiled in a battle with the state over employees’ wages.
The presumptive Republican nominee for president will visit Worth & Company Inc., a large heating, cooling and plumbing company, at 6263 Kellers Church Road.
The event is free and open to the public, said campaign spokesman Jeff Sadosky. Doors will open at 12:30 p.m. and McCain will give opening remarks and take questions for an hour starting at 2 p.m., he said. …
The story essentially hints that the visit is one big “Eff youse!” to unions and that the company is under investigation for underpayment to workers. Nice!
One can only expect McCain will suggest sending the company’s air conditioning technology to the Middle East to cool tensions between Sunnis and Shiites.

Track of the Week: “Lost and Found” by Victor Victor Band
Submitted by jstudent on Wed, 2008-05-28 13:19.
Philadelphia’s own Victor Victor Band is verrrrrry White Stripes-ish (right down to the female drummer), with a smattering of Stooges.
The (actually) married duo of Jamie and Danielle Victor definitely makes its garage rock slathered with blues to great effect. A little whiny at times, and certainly familiar, but we’ll take it.
