>>>War War: Did you see this? The Army opened up a fancy arcade at Franklin Mills. We’re going up there this weekend to play the “Learn How To Care For My Iraq War Vet Fiancé Who Came Back Missing A Right Leg, A Left Arm And A Colon” simulator. We hear it’s very realistic. [Inky]
>>>War War/News War: On Monday an Associated Press photog based in Philadelphia named Matt Rourke got arrested covering an anti-war protest. Because nothing says freedom like rounding up journalists. Oh yeah – Amy Goodman of Democracy Now got arrested too, which is a horse that’s gonna get flogged by lefties (and we’re sure, by Goodman) for quite a while. [AP]
>>>Culture War: Rick Santorum has crawled out from under a Pennsyltucky boulder to focus his beady eyes on encouraging Hollywood to produce more conservative films. First up: “An American Carol,” where Chris Farley’s brother is haunted by the ghosts of American heroes because he tried to abolish the Fourth of July. We shit you not. [PolitickerPA]
>>>Y2K War: Penn’s School of Social Policy and Practice catches up to 2000, invites Ralph Nader to give keynote address on “Social Justice in the Post-Bush Era.” Philebrity looks forward to 2050, when surprisingly well-preserved Al Gore and Barack Obama address Penn’s School of Engineering on “Keeping Hope Alive Even Though We’re All Underwater.” [Penn's PR People]
