National Beat: New Computer Game Allows Grandpa Teabaggins To Act Out Obamacolypse Fantasies, If Only He Could Figure Out How To Turn The Damned Thing On

As advertised on The Drudge Report, 2011 Obama’s Coup Fails is:
[...] an action packed, satire-filled war game that takes place in the not-so-distant future. Right after the November 2010 election, to be precise. It has been said that America would never be destroyed by a foreign power. It does seem our biggest enemies are not [...]

Will The Real Phillies World Series ‘09 Fight Song Stand Up?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

This much we know: The people want — demand, even — a definitive Phils ‘09 post-season fight song, and even with Game 1 of the World Series set to start in a matter of hours, there has yet to be a settled-upon consensus. Let’s review the candidates, shall we?

Everything Is Worse In New York — Even The Brain Drain

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Lately, we’ve been thinking a lot about two things: The Brain Drain and, yes, how much New York sucks. These issues go together like peanut butter and chocolate in this NY Post story today which reveals that, however bad we perceive the Brain Drain to be here, New York’s got it much worse. From 2000 [...]

Inky Senior Lenders Agree: $87M Is Not The Same Thing As $300M

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Well, here’s a shocker: Philadelphia Newspapers LLC’s senior lenders have scoffed at a deal proffered by the company to wipe out $300M of debt in exchange for a paltry $87M. As a result, the auction date holds for the PNI properties on November 18th, a day that will surely live in infamy in Philadelphia media [...]

Bill Cosby, Please Just Shut Up And Let Us Begin Again To Remember You As Someone Awesome

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Bill Cosby has not aged gently. There’s been the sex scandal; the rambling, often incoherent lecture tours; and often, just the sense that here is a man whose entire world has gotten away from him. And that, friends, is a damned shame. It is a kind of common knowledge among Hollywood types that the worst [...]

Sympathy For The Craigslist World-Series-Tix-For-Sex Lady

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

This poor woman. Her face plastered all over the evening news, so that The Good People Of The Delaware Valley can tut-tut and malevolently cluck in her direction over dinner. And for what? Beyond the obvious notion that, in the face of violent killings on the streets and other things that actually hurt people, local [...]
