This week’s Wastebasket is part one of two. Stay tuned next week for more about how Washington can save taxpayer dollars through the federal crop insurance program.

Sometimes it appears common sense and reality can’t seem to penetrate the marble lined walls of the Capitol. The most recent occurrence for this financially costly phenomenon occurred this week as both the House and Senate Agriculture Committees passed their versions of the farm bill. Instead of debating where to trim the nearly $1 trillion price tag of our current farm policies, members dragged their feet, loaded up on special interest giveaways, and actually made the draft bills even worse.

NBC\’s Lisa Myers reported this morning that the IRS deliberately chose not to reveal that it had wrongly targeted conservative groups until after the 2012 presidential election:

The IRS commissioner \”has known for at least a year that this was going on,\” said Myers, \”and that this had happened. And did he share any of that information with the White House? But even more importantly, Congress is going to ask him, why did you mislead us for an entire year? Members of Congress were saying conservatives are being targeted. What\’s going on here? The IRS denied it. Then when — after these officials are briefed by the IG that this is going on, they don\’t disclose it. In fact, the commissioner sent a letter to Congress in September on this subject and did not reveal this. Imagine if we — if you can — what would have happened if this fact came out in September 2012, in the middle of a presidential election? The terrain would have looked very different.\”

A 58-year-old resident of Deptford Township suffered burns before a Deptford Township police officer rescued him from a fire in his house at 100 Caribou Court in the Narraticon development off Delsea Drive in Deptford early today.

 

Officer Tim Parks , recently honored by state officials for drunk driving arrests, twisted a knee while kicking in the door of the Caribou Court single-family home after a fire there was reported at 3:40 a.m. Parks was able to remove the injured resident Christopher Mach, who lived in the home alone. Mach was transported to Temple University’s burn center for treatment. He sustained burns over approximately one-third of his body.

 

The fire, whose cause has not been determined, damaged the kitchen and living room of the house. It remains under investigation by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office and the Deptford Township Police Department. Anyone with information about the fire is asked to contact GCPO Det. John Petroski at (856) 384-5625.

Who makes up the team? Who are the Gloucester Lions Baseball Team? You recently read about seniors Albie Carracino, Steven Bobo and Robbie Cordero. You heard about captains Thomas O’Donnell, Andrew Boulden and Austin Darrow and what they contribute. But what about the Scott Pierman’s or Mike Cox or John Lindeborn’s of the team? Never hear much about these players along with the others who make up the 2013 Lion’s roster.

Each game requires the Lion’s to field 9 players, each player brings a different skill or talent to the team. The Lion’s record stands 7 wins against 11 losses with 7 of the 11 losses by less than 2 runs. This record indicates a break here or there and the Lion’s could be at least over .500 on the season. But what haves, should haves and could haves do not win games.
