About this blog
Mike Argento, a York native and graduate of York Suburban Area High School and Penn State, first came to the York Daily Record in 1983. He even had gray hair back then. After stints covering everything from cops to city hall to state government to the environment, he began writing a column for the paper, three times a week, in 1989. His column can be about anything and so is his blog, which encompasses life in York County and beyond. And, for the record, as he told his wife the other night, he wishes people would stop asking him, 'What's wrong with you?' He really doesn't know.

We’re back, kind of
I have a cold and Tom’s on codeine for something, I guess, so we’re kind of rambling and disjointed and confused. Still, we came up with jokes about China and Ed Rendell and Tasykakes. Mmmmmmmm…Tastykakes…

Health care and pointless exercises
So, our own U.S. Rep. Todd Platts is co-sponsoring the bill to repeal the health care reform act. That’s fine, but it’s a pointless exercise. If this Congress wants to perform pointless exercises, I guess that’s good news. At least … Continue reading
