cross posted (with additional context) from The Lehigh Valley Independent

In a move that is bound to take at least some of Republican Charlie Dent's focus off of his general election opponents, Palmer Township resident Mathew Benol has officially announced a primary challenge for Dent's House seat.

Dent has held the seat since Pat Toomey resigned to challenge Arlen Specter in the Republican primary in 2004. His seat is considered a pick up possibility by the DCCC because the 15th Congressional District went for both Kerry and Obama while electing and then re-electing Dent.

This brings the total candidates in the PA-15 race to four, including incumbent Dent, Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan, Independent Jake Towne and Benol.

I have diaried about my husband's band in the past, but today is a really exciting day -- their debut and highly cathartic CD "War is a Wonderful Thing," is finally available! And, thanks to the failed policies of this administration, we're predicting at least three more years of musical relevance for the band. But seriously, the music is great (in my admittedly biased opinion), regardless of the politics.

I want to especially invite all Lehigh Valley and eastern PA Kossacks to the release party tomorrow night in Allentown at the North Light Loft.

More about the band and a link to a preview of tomorrow's event in the extended body. Read More

Drudge had it first, but here's a link to the NYT story:

Tomlinson, the head of the federal agency that oversees most government broadcasts to foreign countries, including the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, is the subject of an inquiry into accusations of misuse of federal money and the use of phantom or unqualified employees, officials involved in that examination said on Friday.

I'm posting this because I believe Philly Kossacks would be interested in hearing this political music group. And it's not just because I'm married to the adorable upright bass player, though that might be why I'm so "familiar" with the band! ;)

Okay, so I've been playing with my kids all day and only now have had a chance to go to WaPo and check in with my favorite TV Columnist, Lisa de Moraes. Rather than finding a rehash of the latest American Idol results, I found this:

Pennsylvanians aren't likely to forget that today is the second anniversary of the Gulf War. Here in the Lehigh Valley, we buried one of our own yesterday, another victim of Bush's arrogant war.

If you're looking for a great way to combine your activism with music, coffee and used books, look no further. Join us at the Bethlehem Book Loft and Caffeine Cafe tonight for a very special event:

Update [2005-1-13 10:25:25 by hillaryk]: here's a better link to the music downloads: You can listen to some of their music here.
Hope it works this time! My husband is half of a political anti-folk duo and they've set up an Anti-Inaugural Concert this weekend. No contributions from Halliburton accepted. No sparkly Oscar dela Renta gowns needed.

All Kossacks in the eastern PA/western NJ region are cordially invited to attend.
