Piggies Redux
Most of this post is built from an email i just shared with another blogger, betting him that the Democrats will be unable to pass tax cuts for the middle- and working-classes only:
Hamsher’s line about “it’s christmas for god sakes” really hit me hard.
From 2005-2008, I worked at a human services organization here in [...]

Brendan Calling: Way Ahead of the Pack
Me, January 25, 2010:
I have a proposal to save the rotting hulk of the United States.
No, no, I don’t mean the country. I mean the S.S. United States, that glorious liner that’s decaying slowly on Pier 82 off Columbus Boulevard, where it’s been dry-docked for over a decade. It was the fastest ocean liner ever [...]
Philadelphia Newspapers For Sale, But Philadelphia Newspapers Yawn At News
[note: i'll be reformatting those screen shots later today].
It’s 8:40 in the morning and I should be getting ready for work. Instead, I’m running late because I was listening to WHYY’s Sue Phillips do a fantastic piece on today’s auction, which will see the bankrupt Philadelphia Media Holdings sold off to the highest bidder. [...]

WHEN WILL THE EAGLES SETTLE THEIR DEBT AND SAVE OUR LIBRARIES?
D-E-A-D-B-E-A-T-S!

The Daily News has printed one single editorial about this. To the best of my knowledge, the Inquirer has said nothing [...]
Why is the Inky Covering a Corporate Deadbeat Team?
Ed Snider Does a Good Thing
looks like someone stepped up to the plate:
A public-private partnership is stepping up to save three city skating rinks whose futures were on thin ice.
Mayor Nutter and Ed Snider, chairman of Comcast-Spectacor, announced yesterday that the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation would take over operation and programming at three rinks that officials said were targeted [...]
Weekend Protests
National Protest for Gay Rights
I’ve never written that much about gay rights issues. I have a few gay friends, but it’s never been a major focus of my political consciousness. In the wake of Proposition 8, I’m seeings quite a bit differently. I don’t like bigots. I especially don’t like religiously motivated [...]
