Is the mayor of Marcus Hook a "demon?"
As a "safe" Democratic district in Delaware County, the 159th House District gets little coverage from the political press. That's a shame. The incumbent representative is under investigation and his opponent last year allegedly got all liquored up and fired a handgun inside his house, among other allegations.
Is the mayor of Marcus Hook a "demon?"
As a "safe" Democratic district in Delaware County, the 159th House District gets little coverage from the political press. That's a shame, because there's enough strange sh*t happening down there to open a riverfront bureau.
In November, I wrote about how longtime Democratic state Rep. Thaddeus Kirkland had helped steer hundreds of thousands of dollars from Harrisburg to organizations close to his family, including the Baptist church were he preaches. The state Ethics Commission is looking into it.
When Kirkland's Republican opponent in last year's election, Marcus Hook Mayor James "Jay" Schiliro, publicly raised some of those issues, Kirkland walked up to the altar of his church and called Schiliro a "demonic opponent."
"When I say demon, I’m speaking of devilish behavior," Kirkland later explained to me, before he shut down and declined to answer questions about his campaign finances.
Anyway, turns out Schiliro might actually be a demon! Maybe.
He allegedly got all liquored up last month, sent a police car to bring a 20-year-old guy to his house, waved handguns around, gave the minor wine, fired off a round and told him he was "going to be a hostage." Schiliro was a guest of U.S. Rep. Pat Meehan at last year's State of the Union.
And something tells me there's more to this story. You know what I'm talking about ...

He looks like the uninvited guest of a guest who polished off our keg and ate most of the hotdogs at my party last night.
News? Or Opinion?— Diaperman50- That innuendo at the end doesn't quite rise to journalism, I'd say.— MaggieL
- More to the story? Tell us. The innuendo is unfair.— Fast Eddy
- I don't know, Bill. You wrote it. You made the insinuation w/ no follow-up. And you're the one who calls himself a journalist. Maybe you should call this one.— TheodorePikul
- I agree with the good Reverend - it s demons. The body of the love child of Tony Soprano and Sarah Palin has obviously been posessed by spirit of the most powerful, bloated, drug induced, hand gun shooting, white trash ever- Elvis Prestly. Most likely a rivetting episode of Honey Boo Boo aggrivated the demon -although we all make bad decisions after our third box of wine. Unpredictable outcome, on all the COPS episodes I watch, this guy ends up sitting in his own urine-soaked shorts sobbing like a baby, having been Tased 3-4 times. I just thank God for the 2nd Ammendment, without it who knows what would have happened.— tooly
- kirkland couldn't look sleezier.— main liner

Reminds me of that cartoon, King of The Hill.- It all sounds like a dirty polictical ploy, you take a situation as this and blow it way out of proportion to discredit the opposition.
That's what the general public sucks up any way, Kirkland and friends are loving it, sick %#$@&*!— George Lockett 
Kirkland is as sleazy as you can get. I really hope they catch this crook and throw him in jail.- Sh*t?? Show some professionalism.
