Minors served drinks more often in city
Pittsburgh watering holes may be selling alcohol to minors more often than in other parts of the state, according to a program that sends teens into bars to see if they can buy drinks. The age compliance program, run by the Pennsylvania State Police's Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, places undercover officers inside and outside bars and restaurants, then sends an 18-20 year old in to try to buy alcohol.

Agents to Patrol Border and Build Fence
(Newsmax) As if U.S. Border Patrol agents didn’t have enough on their hands, the agency is asking them to volunteer their help in building fences along the U.S.-Mexican border.
Sounds like the Israelites under Nehemiah when rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. The builders had a wall building tool in one hand while the other hand held a weapon in case of attack.

Rove's Political Acumen Was Evident In Pa.
(Post Gazette) Beyond his Texas home, few states received more of Karl Rove's attention than Pennsylvania.
In 2004, particularly, the state proved to be a laboratory demonstrating both the power and the limits of the political strategy that produced two presidential terms for George W. Bush.
While serving as Butler County Republican Chairman, I did get to see the re-election effort of the Bush-Cheney ’04 campaign up close. A lot of things were done right, including multiple phone banks with identified targets, door-to-door teams that hit thousands of homes, and a detailed strategy of day-to-day activity right up to election day. On a daily basis, we had to report to the campaign the numbers of phone calls made, doors hit, etc. This coordinated effort went on all during the summer and fall of 2004.
Unfortunately, because of the “top-down” campaign structure, some things were not done right. The “BC-04” campaign ignored our recommendations regarding the appointment of county BC-04 coordinators and named their own. Personality conflicts raged as a result. Yard signs and bumper stickers were next to impossible to get, and campaign handouts were very scarce. In a campaign known for its political “acumen”, the most unexplainable mistake was that the vote goals set for the counties were grossly miscalculated - either too low or too high.
