Quickies: Gay Bar

• In legal news, the Philadelphia Bar Association has come out against the PIMP Act — that’s the “Pennsylvania Marriage Protection Act” — which would ban same-sex marriages in the commonwealth. Good for them. It’s hard out here for a PIMP Act, &c. [KYW 1060]

• So why did the cops shut down a party at Transit two hours early? Nobody seems to know. [fiftyone:fiftyone]

• The New York Sun — kind of the Evening Bulletin of New York — reports that Scooter Libby testified President Bush okayed a leak to the New York Times, putting Bush directly in the chain of events that led to the leaking of Valerie Plame’s name. Like, whoa. [Gawker (the Sun website is down)]

• Can someone (seriously) explain this anti-Jeopardy! piece? I’m totally baffled. [Early Word]

• In honor of Jimmy Rollins’ 38-game hitting streak, here’s a statheaded look at both his and Joe DiMaggio’s streaks. Very good piece. [Sportszilla]

• City Council President Anna Verna is the first person to get angry at Rick Mariano! Of course, she’s just mad that he sent a letter home saying his office would be “fully staffed.” Guess the councilwoman doesn’t want people to know that you can do her job from prison. [KYW 1060]
