More on Less Music

For another perspective on the music infringment going on in Rittenhouse Square, read this Metro article by Johnny Goodtimes.  Make sure to tease him for calling the square “Rittenhouse Park”.

No “No Snitchin’”

Not too fond of the whole “Stop Snitchin’” concept?  I hope not.  Neither is the Inky’s Annette John-Hall, who details the growing local appearence of the campaign/death threat in her article, “Silence is the enemy of justice“.  A worthwhile read.

Another Perspective

I’ve long been a fan of reading Tom Ferrick in the Inky, and given my interests in Philadelphia’s mayoral race, I found his recent article of the city budget most enlightening.  For Philly residents, I highly suggest reading this, as well as going to the Next Mayor website, to get a clearer idea of what [...]

Tank’s Blanks; Bowl Picks

I find I like the Inky’s Stephen A. Smith more than I used to.  I like a sports journalist with a bit of fire who isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind (and Smith can be quite humorous), though I did used to think some of the subjects he chose to write about were not all that enlightening [...]

In & Out

It hardly took Sen. Joe Biden any time at all to virtually blow all his chances at being even a frontrunner in the Democratic primaries for 2008.  I learned as much from Will Bunch’s “Attytood” today, as the Delaware senator shared his thoughts on everything except for what we really might have wanted to know [...]

Man, I Called This…

When I was fooling around with the sports game on my roommate’s Wii shortly after he got it, I was embarrased to say that I worked up a little sweat.  Well, apparently, someone has taken it a step further.  It’s difficult to think of what this strikes me as, other than just plain funny.  Read [...]

Help or Hinder

Despite how you might feel about his values, Sen. Rick Santorum is notorious for being a politician that often stands by his beliefs despite the opinions of others and the political climate at the moment.  But is that his greatest strength or his greatest weakness?  Dick Polman has some thoughts on that as he comments [...]

Second Opinion

I hope my article on Sudan piques your interest in the topic, but a better commentary can be found in Jonathan Steele’s “Bush and Blair are deceiving the desperate people of Darfur“.  Unlike myself, this man is actually in that region.

Is Santorum Our Next McCarthy?

Probably not quite, but read Tom Ferrick’s “A Churchillian Moment” and keep that in mind.  Make sure to check out the speech Mr. Ferrick references in the article. All sorts of fun!
Also, the whole same-sex marriage issue has died down for the moment but can certainly be revived when the next talking head needs a poll jump.  [...]
