Monday, October 29th, 2007Would writing “Ding dong, the witch is dead” be in bad form? LISA AVERSA RICHETTE, a brilliant but controversial jurist who cared for battered women, the homeless, children at risk, the mentally ill and long-term prisoners, died of lung cancer on Friday. The 79-year-old judge was being cared for at Vitas Hospice inside St. Agnes [...]

Good, Then Can We Stop Televising It Now?
Monday, October 29th, 2007Ironically, the Pistons were involved with a WWF-esque brawl three years ago that spilled into the stands! It may have only been the end of the exhibition season, but Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace was in mid-season form. “I still don’t think they (Cavaliers) beat us, we beat ourselves,” Wallace said. “And I think we [...]

No "star date" for Captain Kirk?
Saturday, October 27th, 2007Poor William Shatner. A new Star Trek movie is going to be filmed and he has not been asked to participate. The kicker? Nimoy has been asked to return to his role as Spock. How can you have Spock and not Kirk? Oh-the-human-i-ty! Never lost for words, Shatner stated his disbelief and opinion on the [...]
Death Penalty vs. Life…for the murderer of Officer Gary Skerski
Saturday, October 27th, 2007I don’t know how I feel about this one. I’m not sure I believe the murderer of a police officer should be allowed to plea. Was the case flawed? Is that the reason?

In short, the letter warned her Muslim boss that bad things will happen to her and her children because of 9/11. (Sooooo, not cool.) The sentence? Eight months of jail. However, given the justice system in Philly, she won’t [...]
