Sunday, October 2nd, 2011So, I had to wake up extra early (6:30am) today because Kyle had his first day of lacrosse camp. The camp was being held at William Penn Charter School, which is a half-hour’s drive away. We took Roosevelt Boulevard (Route 1) to and from the camp. It’s a highly-congested road that sees a lot of [...]
It’s Official: The Animals Are Taking Over
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011Remember yesterday’s post about the man who was attacked by a pack of savages? Well, apparently mob attacks are now all the rage here in Philadelphia. This attack carried over from an incident at South Philadelphia High School – a school steeped in violence. Violence that has been ignored. According to police, a 12-year-old girl [...]
If You Still Need A Reason To Arm Yourself
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011This should cement the decision for you – at least if you live in this town. Mr. LaVelle should have beaten these animals to death, and he damned sure better go gun shopping – sooner rather than later. Note also: some people are saying this attack wasn’t racially motivated. Uh-huh.
My Favorite Founder? Thomas Kniferson
Sunday, September 25th, 2011Which amendment covers the right to stab people? One man is hospitalized following an overnight stabbing inside the National Constitution Center. It happened at 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Police say there was an altercation between the two men inside the kitchen.

Give The Man A Hand
Sunday, September 25th, 2011Michael Vick – aka Mr. Glass – broke his right hand in today’s game against the Giants. *giggle* Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has left the game against the Giants with a broken right hand. Vick started Sunday’s game despite suffering a concussion in last Sunday’s loss at Atlanta. He was temporarily replaced by Mike Kafka [...]
Friends Don’t Let Friends Speak Drunk
Friday, September 23rd, 2011The Liberty Medal Ceremony is a big deal in Philadelphia. The annual ceremony recognizes individuals who help bring liberty to others around the world, and it’s a huge media event here. Usually, the recipient is introduced by someone famous, or someone with local ties. Last night’s presenter, Kim Delaney, is both famous and local. She [...]
The City Of Brotherly Homicides
Monday, September 12th, 2011Five homicides in twenty hours. God, I love this town! Five Philadelphia men were fatally shot in separate cases in the city on Sunday, according to police. The violence began shortly after midnight, when four men were struck by gunfire at 12:28 a.m., on the 1800 block of North Newkirk Street in the city’s Brewerytown [...]
Philly Catholic School Teachers May Strike
Monday, September 5th, 2011Quite an appropriate post for Labor Day. A teachers’ strike is looming in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The archdiocese and the union representing its high school teachers will resume negotiations Monday. An archdiocese spokeswoman says the two sides were having a “good dialogue” during Sunday’s session. But the teachers’ union president says the sides are [...]
The Cheesesteak Defense
Friday, August 26th, 2011This is a genuine Philadelphia cheesesteak – from Geno’s, of course. It’s a very special sandwich that most of us here will protect with our very lives. It’s common for a patron stand up, grip the roll and say, “This is my cheesesteak! There are many like it, but this one is mine!” So, it’s [...]
R.I.P Joey Vento
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011Philadelphia has lost a true icon today. Joey was 71. Outspoken Philly cheesesteak legend Joey Vento died of a massive heart attack Tuesday, Geno’s Steaks confirmed.
