Police Fired for Beating Suspects
Last week, there was a truly wretched incident in Philadelphia’s troubled history. Following the unacceptable and disgusting murder of Sgt. Steven Liczbinski, police in an unrelated incident pulled over a car filled with individuals suspected in a triple driveby, pulled the suspects from the car, and administered an uncalled for beating. Although Police Commissioner [...]

Building on atrios’ observation that more and more people are walking away from their mortgages they can’t afford, I had a nice chuckle at this:
“We’re seeing people who are current on their credit cards but are defaulting on their mortgages,” Mr. Lewis says. “I’m astonished that people would walk away from their homes.”
Mr. Lewis is [...]

Ice-free Arctic could be here in 23 years
The Arctic ice cap has collapsed at an unprecedented rate this summer and levels of sea ice in the region now stand at a record low, scientists said last night. Experts said they were “stunned” by the loss of ice, with an area almost twice as big as [...]
Phone Calls to Stupid Democrats
In the aftermath of the Democrat Party’s self-defeating and moronic vote to condemn MoveOn, the largest grassroots antiwar and progressive group in the US, which has showered the Democrat Party with volunteers on the ground and millions in donations, I’ve been having some fun on the phone.
Bob Casey’s office was the first and [...]

Henry Kissinger, who presided over the expansion of Viet Nam, including the Cambodia bombings, as well as Pinochet’s coup in Chile, and who escaped France a few years back in the dead of night in [...]
Guest Post by Stu on Jerry Falwell
So funny, I had to post it. From Tim Kelly (and why aren’t you listening to late Riser’s Club every Friday):
Suffice to say that my comment on [Fallwell's death] to my roommate today when she asked, “Is it wrong that I don’t feel bad about it?” was:

An Early Jerry Falwell Memory
Back in 1984-1985, I was in my first hardcore band. We went through a number of name changes before we decided on Nerve (our guitar player Chris Shea came up with that one).
One of my best friends at the time, Kelly Bray, was our singer, though the two of us wrote songs [...]
A Tip About Pot Brownies
The reaction to eating marijuana is a very different experience than when you smoke the stuff. For one thing, the THC takes a lot longer to kick in, almost an hour. For another, the effects when ingested are much more hallucinogenic than when smoked. The high is quite different: instead of feeling [...]

A couple of months ago, the Pweznit nominated Sam Fox, who donated $50,000 to the Swiftboat Liars in the 2004 presidential campaign, as Ambassador to Belgium.
When Fox came before the new Democratically-controlled Senate, who did he have to face? None other than Senator Kerry. The exchange was a hilarious exercise in turnabout, weaseling, [...]
