  • That's great that a group of sistas are doing something different with their drinking :). It's a creative initiative that I'll have to share with my friends. Thanks GB.

The last time they climbed to the top of the mountain (1980), Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose and Steve Carlton showed the American League the meaning of spirited, winning baseball. Today, as emotions run high and the city of Philadelphia gears up for celebration of their boys bringing home the Commissioner’s Trophy, pillars of the community like Temple University are preparing for mass rioting. According to Dean of Students Ainsley Carry, “Students involved in vandalism, refusal to disperse, destruction of property, etc. will face both criminal and University disciplinary action. Sanctions may range from fines up to and including immediate suspension. Surveillance – including videotaping – is heightened during the Series on campus and throughout the city.”
    I’m all for personal responsibility, which includes showing respect for others and their property. But is the feel of a police state crackdown necessary? Wait, this is Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love.” Of course it’s necessary.
    If you do happen to be ready to riot, take it down about 10 notches first. Be happy, but be respectful. If you find your windshield smashed by someone less respectful of property than you are – and you need some help to take care of that before you’re paid again, affordable personal loans are available at the click of a mouse. That is, if it still works after wild sprayings of liquid refreshments.
