Lede of the week

The lede of the week, from my favorite newspaper in the whole wide world, the Northeast Times:

Riddle: What do grandparents in Florida and a Harley Davidson manufacturer in York, Pa., have in common?

Answer: a penchant for hoarding can tabs, and not just because Southerners and bikers like beer.

White guys, of course, pull their can tabs off like this.

Those tabs can be a lifesaver [Northeast Times]

Quickies: Now that’s forward thinking!

• Northeast Times editorial: One DUI conviction and you lose your license for life! Oh, and bartenders could lose licenses for serving drunks. Bonus mention: President Bush’s problems with alcohol. Hooray! [Northeast Times]

• E&P has a long, long article on the buyouts at PNI. Apparently, the newsroom there is quiet. Too quiet. Uh oh. [Editor & Publisher via Philebrity]

• Crime in Kensington. Eh. Oh, wait: the Warlocks clubhouse was firebombed. Now that’s a scoop! The culprit could be the Outlaws, after events stemming from a Toys for Tots charity motorcycle ride. Bike gangs are so fifth grade. [Inky]

• Philly’s waterfront plan: slots and a Planet Hollywood! That sound you just heard was Philadelphia’s title of “America’s Next Great City” being taken away. This article comes with bonus shady dealings, par for the course in this town. [DN]
