Leftovers: R.I.P., Ed Bradley

• Philadelphia native and longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley died today from leukemia at 65. Y’know, “All that and Andy Rooney tonight” isn’t going to sound the same if it’s not preceded by “I’m Ed Bradley.” [CBSNews.com]

• White Dog owner Judy Wicks is leaving the White Dog, even though she lives above it. But she will no longer own the Cafe — without the pretentious é, thank you very much — and is turning it over to her employees. And, in news I can’t make up, she’ll be a Katharine Hepburn Teaching Fellow at Bryn Mawr next year. [Inquirer]

• A company that makes generic Tylenol is recalling 11 million bottles because they might have metal fragments in them. CVS, Wal-Mart, Dollar General and other stores, come on down!

• New Jersey looks like it won’t have a bear hunt this year. But that won’t stop Tony Soprano. Come on! You remember? He had the bear in his backyard? Aw, nevermind. [Camden Courier-Post]

Leftovers: Two-Bit Bong Merchants, Unite!

• 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]
