  • All U.S. and Pennsylvania flags at state facilities will be flown at half-staff today for Peace Officers Memorial Day. And since it was Governor Rendell who gave the order there shouldn't be any complaints...
  • The Inquirer updates readers on the imminent eviction of the Cradle of Liberty Council Boy Scouts chapter from their downtown headquarters. In response to what it deems discriminatory behavior by the organization against gays and atheists, the city recently required the group to pay a fair-market value of $200,000 in rent—up from $1 per year—in order to stay in the building it has occupied since 1937.
  • We recently reported on Jim McGreevey and his soon-to-be ex-wife Dina Matos McGreevey's three-way sex parties (aka "Friday night specials"), a story leaked by one of the ex-governor's ex-aides (sense a theme here?).
