Links: Jails, Degrees, Elephants
Here’s a couple of stories, all from the Inquirer. I’m too hot to do a post for each of them individually. • Fresh off her ode to social networking, Karen Heller writes a very nice column on the city’s overcrowding jails, even mentioning the roles mandatory minimum drug sentences have to play. Be sure to read the comments for some enlightening comments from the masses. • The new police commissioner wants to make the police force safe for gay officers. As usual, the Internet has the best commentary on the subject. Cf. Domelights: “My message to the LGBT, deal with it. The entire world looks at your life style as a problem not the police.” • Some student at Penn has 11 graduate degrees at the age of 32. He also has dyslexia and reads at a fifth-grade level. Hmm. • Oh, no, an elephant died at the zoo — everybody put your flags at half-mast for the next year. |

I was one of the last men on earth to see Petal alive on Sunday. Weird. R.I.P. Petal, we will miss your giant piles of dung.
There are PLENTY of gay/bi cops on the PPD, and they’re doing just fine
PC Ramsey should FOCUS on the crime problem, and stop trying to distract everybody in the city with these silly sideshows.
