The Bell Curve
That's how many victims Philly's only domestic violence shelter turned away last year.
"We had no idea it was going to be this bad." Keafer is not referring to the number of employees that
WAA had to lay off, or even
the crucial children's services that have fallen by the wayside. She's
talking about the number of victims looking for an escape that WAA has
had to plumb turn away.
March Madness!
Too soon for "Two Coreys" jokes.
While the true sports fan can fend for himself, the other 90 percent
needs something to talk about. We're here to provide talking points on
the two teams you're going to have to deal with most.
Adults, in Theory
The incidents at South Philly High School are systemic.
"Everyone" hasn't been targeted at SPHS: Asians have been targeted. And "everyone" hasn't done the targeting.
No, You Can't Have a Pony
A Million StoriesIt's time to grow up.
We have a serious problem: that is, the absolute lack of seriousness in our discussions of how we solve these problems.
All the news we care to print.
Many business owners would rather get the shits from their effete employees than see these bills pass.
