Ojai, California has an environmental activist that might be too liberal for even this liberal-leaning city of 8,000. Ojai is the home of Jennifer Moss, “The Pastie Lady”.

I have received a lot of flak for smiling. Apparently I am not supposed to smile, but I had some really good reasons for doing so. First of all, I was having fun.

Senate candidate's exposure brings party disapproval By Monica Yant Kinney Inquirer Columnist With all due respect to my good friend Boss Norcross and the no-show job scandal rocking the South Jersey machine, the hottest political story in the state involves male genitalia from way up north.
