Every morning for the past five years, someone would drive by my house and throw a copy of the local newspaper in my driveway. I never saw this person, because I’m not one to get up much before 9am. Most of the time, the paper would make its way from the driveway to the garage [...]

Readers of this morning’s Wilkes-Barre, PA Times Leader and Citizens Voice newspapers, were shocked to learn that an elephant killed his groomer in between shows at the Irem Shrine Circus that is currently playing at the Kingston Armory. According to published reports, “Dumbo” the African elephant, fatally injured the groomer after being startled in the [...]

One of the things I enjoy on the Palm Beach Post‘s website is the “Booking Blotter” – mugshots of the latest scallywags booked into the Palm Beach County Jail. It’s here where drug dealers, prostitutes, trespassers and wife beaters have their photos published for the world to see. While the purpose is not for humor, [...]

I can’t think up one of my two-title-titles for this post. I can’t even muster up enough words to express my angst for the justice system in Luzerne County. Shortly after 6pm this evening, The Times Leader and Citizens Voice newspapers broke yet another store of a judge gone bad. This time it’s Senior Judge [...]

Checking In On The Judge The plot thickens in the accident investigation surrounding former Luzerne County President Judge, Chester Muroski. The man in the black robe slid off a slippery Route 115 in Bear Creek Township earlier this week damaging his car and taking out a mailbox. He vehemently denies that he was intoxicated but [...]

He almost made it. “He” is former Luzerne County President Judge and now Senior Judge, Chester Muroski and he almost made it into retirement without making headlines.

Details came out this morning on Luzerne County’s favorite dumb-jock – disgraced county commissioner, and now admitted gangster, Greg Skrepenak. The former football player who got knocked in the head one too many times, plead guilty to accepting a bribe from a developer. In return Skrepenak can spend 3 to 4 years in the lock-up. [...]

Judge Muroski held a press conference a few minutes ago to explain the procedure for selecting a replacement commissioner to fill the seat which is now empty after Greg Skrepenak resigned. Seems luck had run out for Skrep. Skrep’s close associates already signed plea deals and it was only a matter of time before Uncle [...]

The Times Leader is reporting what I referred to as “The Christmas Present” that I spoke about in my November 11, 2009 blog post. I was tipped off by a source deep within the county that today’s event was coming and that it was going to be “the Christmas present Luzerne County was waiting for.” [...]

It comes as no surprise that another Luzerne County official has been nabbed in the ongoing federal corruption probe that already has 21 arrests to its credit. Thursday, that number rose to 22 with the former director of Human Resources, Doug Richards admitting that he took a bribe from an unnamed contractor in order to [...]
