• Thanks to Brad Maule for wading through Phillyblog so I don’t have to and finding this gem about a new smoke shop on South Street. To recap: Smoke shop owner introduces himself, anti-drug advocates go nuts, smoke shop owner goes nuts, somebody posts an article saying this guy and NJ Weedman lit up in front of Liberty Bell, smoke shop owner says, “I must ask the people opposed to my store in any sense, are you against the War in Iraq?” Gold, Brad, Gold. And I’m only on Page 7 of 21! [Phillyblog via Philly Skyline]
• Gee, thanks, Apple and Sony. However, major kudos to KYW 1060 for the graphic (pictured). [KYW 1060]
• A City Paper correction today says that an article on Aug. 3 “contained several inaccuracies. Morjorie Newlin was 71 when she started lifting weights; the trainer who entered her in her first bodybuilding competition was Robert Rivers, the founder of Rivers Gym; Newlin trains four days a week at Bally and did not appear in commercials in Barbados, but rather a television talk show. City Paper regrets the errors.” [CP]
• When he’s not wondering what to tell his son why cartoon characters kiss, J.D. Mullane of the Bucks County Courier Times fights back at a journal that gave him a scathing mention in an editorial. His retort: “Do you know what would happen to this country if we gave up eating beef ? We’d be overrun by cows. They’d be blocking the streets.” Uh, indeed. [BCCT]
• When guns are illegal, only criminals will have guns. Or they’ll kill people by dismembering them. Something like that. [Inquirer]
