Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Yesterday was a real pain in the ass. The day started with a brutal thunderstorm. Naturally, the rain came down much heavier the second I stepped out of the car. At about 9am, we saw a blinding flash of light and felt an explosion. To a man we all jumped out of our chairs. I [...]
Humpday History Highlight
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010July 14, 1882 – Gunfighter John Ringo Found Dead [Ringo] was not involved in the infamous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in 1881, but he did later challenge Doc Holliday (one of the survivors of the O.K. Corral fight) to a shootout. Holliday declined and citizens disarmed both men. The manner of Ringo’s demise remains [...]
Three Philly Police Officers Arrested
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010As bad as this story is, it is even more disgusting for me, because I worked with Venziale and Williams. They were officers in my division. When I heard that an indictment was coming down, one of my fellow detectives asked if I heard who was getting arrested. I said, “No, who?” When they said [...]
Another Allegation Against Al Gore
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010I guess Al is auditioning for a waiter position at Dr. Tongue’s 3D House of Beef. In a semi-reassessment of the character of former vice president Al Gore, the liberal journalist Melinda Henneberger, editor of Politics Daily, casually drops an anecdote we haven’t heard before: For years, he was belittled for being so annoyingly right [...]
Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner Dead
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010Damn. Love him or hate him – it was always one or the other, because no one was neutral when it came to The Boss – Steinbrenner was the Yankees. He both thrilled and angered Yankees fans (like myself) for four decades, and fired more people than Donald Trump. Through it all, he earned most [...]

Hefner Taking Playboy Private
Monday, July 12th, 2010Heh, heh, “private.” So what, is Hefner keeping his Playmates under lock and key? I guess he would have to so he can feast on the blood of 22-year old minxes. According to sources, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is planning to take the corporation private. Hef is trying to buy up all of the publicly-owned [...]
Philly Fire Commissioner Ayers: WTF?
Monday, July 12th, 2010Updated, 7:30pm. Watch this video and tell me if you see something askew: Okay maybe it’s just me, but there’s unseemly about an active Philadelphia Fire Commissioner doing an endorsement for Black and Noble, an African-American book store, in full uniform.
Zombies Involved In Traffic Accident
Monday, July 12th, 2010The condition of the victims was elevated from “undead” to “stable.” PORTLAND, Ore. — A car full of people dressed as zombies crashed on Interstate 84 near downtown Portland on Friday, causing initial confusion by people who witnessed the crash. Portland Police said the car was swerving in the eastbound lanes of the freeway just [...]
Basketball Is On Obama’s Mind
Sunday, July 11th, 2010Because, you know, there aren’t much bigger issues in America today than whether or not the president will be able to play hoops with LeBron James. I’m sorry, but I have to ask this serious question. Does Obama even want to be POTUS? I mean, he obviously likes the perks and the ego-stroke of the [...]
