I Don’t Get It: More gunfire outside a Philly school yesterday. This time on a playground across from Overbrook High. One dead, two wounded. I don't get it.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to the three brothers who gave $3,000 to Elwyn because they were so impressed by the care their sister gets at the facility. Bravo!

So Phil, you finally publish a story about Gosnell at 5:40 on a Friday night?
If you think that this stunt gives you deniability about blacking-out the Gosnell story, then you don't respect your readers at all.

It's in the Latest Updates at the top of the page. I updated it this morning. Remember this is a Philadelphia story. Although the national media has just discovered it, this is not a new story here. It's also a Philadelphia story, not a Delco story. There is no effort to downplay the story, despite what some would have you believe.
