Hookers, Hoopla, Handshakes and Handouts: Annual 'Pigsylvania Society' Ball Rages On Steve Peacock 2005-12-16 6:12 AM
The annual Pennsylvania Society bash at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City this past weekend was – just it has been for more than a century – the epicenter of organized gluttony and bribery-made-legal for commonwealth lawmakers and industry barons. Pa. Senate President Pro Tempore Robert C. Jubelirer shrugs off such characterizations, and sees the event instead as an opportunity to simply “ let your hair down a bit,” according to a Dec. 11 AP report. However, as a former plainclothes security officer working near the Waldorf, I can say with certainty that streetwalkers and call-girls will have joined at least some of these corporate and bureaucratic bigwigs as they let their hair down.

Execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams duko 2005-12-13 8:46 PM
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger coldly and callously refused to grant him clemency, saying that “the facts do not justify overturning the court decision.” Even though Tookie Williams had changed and became a very outspoken advocate against gang violence and for peace. They showed him no mercy. But it is deeper than this. In a highly political statement, Schwarzenegger also said that Tookie Williams' 1998 book Life In Prison was “dedicated to people like Assata Shakur, Mumia Abu Jamal” and particularly “Black militant George Jackson” which, according to Schwarzenegger, “is a significant indicator that Williams is not reformed and that he still sees violence and lawlessness as legitimate means to address societal problems.” (text/html)
