(51,636 posts)1. I responded to a post about this yesterday
since I am a Philly native and wondered how the moron knew about this since he doesn't read and this doesn't directly involve him. Someone replied that the moron doesn't realize that PA is a commonwealth and that makes a difference. I guess the Moron's advisers are moron's too.
