Philly Weekly Sinks to a New Low
Two weeks ago, the Philadelphia Weekly published a poignant and compelling story about women trying to escape prostitution.
This week, they published an article about which Chinatown brothels offer the best handjobs. I’m not linking to the article because I think it was exploitative, disgusting and was less a news and opinion column than it [...]
Live Waterboarding at the Mann!
Over at WHYY, Peter Crimmins tries his best to ignore the ore recent aspects of Condoleezza Rice’s biography. the article is already poorly written, so I have done my best to fix it.
Next week the former Secretary of Statea noted war criminal and the reigning Queen of Soul will join forces at the Mann Center [...]
Obama Admin: Cut Food Stamps to Pay for Race to the Top
The more you read, the more you learn that “hope and change” is a slogan, no different from “the quicker picker upper.”

My point is that I have been working for school [...]
Pensacola Surf Bubbling, Oily Rain Falling in New Orleans
This video is disturbing enough: by about the 21 second mark, you can see the fizzing and bubbling in the Pensacola oil surf.

Congratulations on this year’s upcoming concert series! Like many Philadelphians, I relish the summer season, when my family and I can enjoy a few evenings of classical music under the stars at Fairmount Park. I’m especially looking forward to opening night, featuring Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 [...]
Collateral Murder
read Greenwald, now please:
As the video demonstrates, the soldiers in the Apache did not take a single step — including killing those unarmed men who tried to rescue the wounded — without first receiving formal permission from their superiors. Beyond that, the Pentagon yesterday — once the video was released — suddenly embraced the [...]
Shorter Christine Flowers: Raping Children “Just a Mistake”, Church Critics Unfair
No, seriously:
The details, while shocking, refer to horrors committed more than 20 years ago, but they’re being used to condemn a church that – more than any other organized faith institution in the world – has made the most public and painful act of contrition in history.
