The bipartisan deal to increase the federal government's borrowing limits is now awaiting final approval in the Senate. Three out of our four senators from Pennsylvania and New Jersey are giving it the thumbs down.
Republican PA Senator Pat Toomey said he would vote no because "it simply does not contain meaningful spending cuts." New Jersey Democrats Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg don't like it because they feel the plan does not include any higher taxes on the wealthy or... Read More |

The Philadelphia Orchestra and its $140 million endowment in jeopardy? Possibly due to legal filings by two separate parties.
Pianist and conductor Peter Nero, founding music director of the Philly Pops, filed a request for a financial examination of details of the relationship between the Annenberg Foundation and the Philadelphia Orchestra Association. The orchestra and the Pops are currently in talks over the financial terms of a separation.
Also, the American... Read More |

Slutwalk steps off in Philadelphia this weekend.
SlutWalk got its start after a Toronto police officer in January told a group of students attending a crime-prevention talk, "Women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."
Participants will wear whatever they want - G-strings or long pants, pasties or turtlenecks - to make their point that women's dress and behavior do not invite rape.
Philadelphia's SlutWalk begins at 11... Read More |

| The Philadelphia Eagles have raised the bar. With key trades and some surprisingly aggressive free agent signings, the Eagles have elevated expectations around the league, and among fans in Philadelphia. Gang Green now includes marquis names like Cromartie, Asomugha, Evans, Jenkins, Washburn and Babin. Add these guys to a roster that already includes names like Vick, Samuel and Jackson, and a good looking team starts to look great. Still to do - sign the top draft pick and Desean Jackson to...

It was a huge Friday in the Philly sports world, and that doesn't count anything that actually happened on the field.

This season Pence is hitting .309, with 11 HR, 62 RBI, .356 OBP, and .472 slugging. The right handed bat is a welcomed addition to... Read More |
