Just When We Thought Canada Was the Last Safe Country on Earth

Life imitates scholarship.

Hands Up!

If you're not surprised to read that the guns used in nineteen recent Philadelphia murders were reintroduced into illicit circulation after being seized by Upper Darby Township cops. The Inky has the whole sordid story on today's online front page. The mentally challenged pigs apparently thought it would be a good idea to raise some petty cash by unloading the firearms they seized from local criminals at a local pawn shop [where the criminals could easily get them back after making a donation to a local Republican business man].

GURRRL, I Can't Believe You Just Stabbed That Guy Dozens of Times and Then Set His Corpse on Fire, Burning Down His House in the Process

It's like a gay Wonderland in Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA), just not quite so glamourous. Unsubstantiated rumours from a high-ranking source in the gay gossip community of NEPA allege that Cuadra was first photographed by Kocis in sexually explicit roles prior to the age of eighteen.

We are killing each other at an alarming rate, but at least we're not going to lock up some peace activists who tried to visit the offices of former Senator Santorum.

A foiled truck theft turned into a foiled carjacking that concluded dramatically a half block away from my friend Jason's office [which is only four blocks from mine].

You know it's bad when they can't [really can't be bothered to] determine who Philly's 100th murder victim of 2007 is because the 101st body found may have been there since before the 100th body was found. You also know it's bound to get worse when the discrepancy exists because children playing saw the body about ten hours before anybody bothered to call 911.

Firearm-based violence is out of control in Philadelphia, so this might actually be a good idea. I give the Philly PD spokesguy credit for doing his best not to sound like big brother.
