When I created this blog 6 years ago, I was going to call it “Montco Cassandra.” A love of Greek mythology was instilled in me by my sixth-grade teacher (RIP Mr. Murray) who spun tales for as part of social studies class.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over the outrage du jour to bring you this important Parkhouse update: Dr. Rifkin, the owner of the Parkhouse parcel and aspiring developer, submitted a revised plan to Upper Providence Township last month. Then two weird things happened. The first was that shortly …
Gentle Readers, if you have even remotely followed the ebbs and flows of this blog, you may recall a recurring theme regarding the Democrats on the Upper Providence Township Board, and that is, their propensity to create problems for themselves and then circle the wagons to try to convince you that you didn't actually see …

Can anyone please explain to me what, exactly, the Democrats mean when they talk about empowered women? Are they women who are strong, self-assured and capable, or are they whiners who cower in the face of a primary challenge from a man? Are they happy that legions of women are now "woke" and assertively marching …
