Naturally, the media sides with our chump governor Fast Eddie Rendell.  For once the state GOP is showing that they might have some balls, they're about the size of BBs at this point, but its something. 

Fast Eddie shut down most of the non-essential state functions, but what else did he shut down?  The gambling centers! That's right!  You notice when a Democratic governor is forced to shut down state functions they always shut down the casinos and OTBs, which are one of the biggest profit generators for any state?

 I believe Bob "I don't need to wear a fucking seatbelt" Corzine did the same thing during that state's budget issues.  Of course, Fast Eddie isn't keen on actually following traffic laws either. Its a highly profitable operation for the state, sucking up massive tax dollars voluntarily given away!  There is definitely a reason they do that.   I'm not sure what it is, but its shady. 

So why hasn't a budget been passed? 


The big reasons for Fast Eddie to fight this is he wants a big green energy slush fund for a bunch of dumbass wind turbines and payola for people who install ugly-ass solar panels on their house, and I'm sure a bunch of other dumb wasteful shit.  He also wants a bunch of money for Philly transit, at the cost of other city transit systems in the state, as in, he wants to slash transit funding for other cities and put it in Philly's SEPTA (more like SEPTIC) system, which is pure shit because Philly is a scummy city filled with corrupt retards who couldn't make a See'n'Say work properly if their lives depended on it. If Philly can't set up a functioning public transit, don't make the rest of the state pay for it. He also wants an extended Big Nanny smoking ban. Fuck Philly, give it to New Jersey.

Actually, the GOP might stick to its guns for once. I don't know if anyone remembers, but in PA, we had a bunch of KleptoCons and a good number of Democrats sneak themselves a pay raise and raise taxes.  A decent number of heads rolled (though not enough) in the state election for the Pay Raise, and there are a lot of people in the state legislature who ran on not letting bullshit like this get pulled, so that's what they're doing.
