New work up at Philadelphia City Paper about the contentious history of Philadelphia's last remaining Anarchist newspaper.

The elimination of Books Behind Bars programs pisses me off over at True/Slant.

Patti Wood tells the Post-Gazette about some embarassing wardrobe malfunctions.

"Heard a story from an alert reader involving a friend who had a bike literally thrown at him while riding along Penn Avenue in the Strip District. Someone apparently became very frustrated with a flat tire and decided to chuck his bike into the street. Friend was unable to avoid the flung bicycle, took a major spill. Seconds later, after short but harsh words, the bike flinger apologized profusely, the friend accepted the apology and -- no kidding -- the two ended up drinking Iron City Beer at the same bar that night, telling the story over and over again to anyone who would listen, each time exaggerating it just a bit more. By the end of the night, the incident had been "planned," the thrown bike was part of an elaborate "show," and the friend had actually caught the flung bike. By last call, he had caught the bike with his teeth."
