Hey, Look! More Links!

Phillies update to come later, maybe after the game tonight. (Late night posting!) For now, here are more links.

• Bank Robbers today risk a lot but don't really get all that much cash. Also, they wear hats. [AP/Philly.com]

• Two U.S. congressmen from Western Pa. don't think Philadelphia pays taxes, or something, and as such doesn't deserve any money from the state for public transit. Also, they want to stop a program that would build roads in Northwestern Pa. Hooray for politics. [Inquirer]

Hannibal Lecter was tried in Bucks County: "[Dennis] Strong, who is incarcerated, had to wear the 'spit mask' because there was fear he would spit and be unruly in court, a law enforcement official said. The mask consisted of see-through black mesh netting that was placed over his head and a cotton piece around his mouth." [Bucks County Courier TImes]

• NBC 10 has another story about strippers on golf courses, which is the station's second in just a few months. It's the story that never dies! [NBC 10]

• And, ooh, the city's suing septa over getting rid of transfers! [KYW 1060]

You need to check out slide #2 from the NBC10 slide show.

caption: "The activities were out in the open where anyone could see them."

apparently "anyone" is limited to anyone with x-ray vision binoculars.

I wish Alycia Lane would give me a lapdance while wearing a bikini.

I may have to re-evaluate my anti-golf stance, apparently it is more fun then I thought.
