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]
