2014 in Review: May

April turned to May, and May is a big month for me. Why? Well, for one, it's my birthday. In this year, it also marked my cousins' graduations from Millersville and East Stroudsburg University. It's a month where I was on the ballot for state committeeman from Northampton County on the Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania. I was also busy in the great state of Iowa doing some work on a Congressional Primary too, which had me very busy. Baseball season was in full swing, as was the Flyers short playoff season. Lots happened in May. Like what, you ask?

• The Flyers lost their first round playoff series in seven games to the Rangers.
• Senate Republicans blocked an increase of the minimum wage, while the House version started a new committee to investigate the false-scandal of Benghazi.
• Condi Rice was forced to pull out on her speaking engagement for Rutgers graduation over protests.
• Crazy State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe introduced articles of impeachment for PA Attorney General Kathleen Kane.
