FBI Hunts ‘Yes We Can’ Bank Robber
The FBI is currently searching for a man considered armed and dangerous who robbed a Northeast Philadelphia Citizen’s Bank wearing a Barack Obama “Yes We Can” baseball cap.
He is described as a 35-year-old black man with a beard and mustache. He wore sunglasses, a black ball cap with the words “YES WE CAN” on it, a beige coat, black gloves and blue jeans. He fled the scene in a green SUV with a possible license plate of 44660. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000.
I believe I am the first to dub him the “Yes We Can Bank Robber” and I would like credit for thinking up a cool criminal name that also manages to denigrate the campaign slogan of our new President.
Thank you.
Breathalyzers: So, So Racist
Someone call John Connor. It’s not even Judgement Day, and already we’ve got machines with evil intent. Don’t these things always start out small?
A Connecticut lawyer has filed suit on behalf of his client who was arrested in April based on the results of a racist breathalyzer.
In a motion filed Tuesday in Bridgeport Superior Court, [Lawyer James O.] Ruane asked a judge to suppress his client’s breathalyzer test results.
[…]
Ruane says research shows that the lung capacity of a black man is 3 percent smaller than a white man and, therefore, black men’s test results vary from the sobriety standard set by the device.
The xenophobic radar speed gun that hates foreign cars was unavailable for comment.
Injury May Bench Utley Until June
Right hip surgery may bench Philadelphia Phillies 2nd baseman Chase Utley until June, although it is also possible that he could return to the World Series Champion team as early as April.
Utley consistently downplayed speculation about his bad hip during the second half of the postseason. But the Phillies revealed Thursday that since the World Series, he has had the hip evaluated by Phillies team physician Michael Ciccotti, of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s Rothman Institute, and by Dr. Bryan Kelly, of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
Both doctors recommended that Utley undergo surgery on his right hip. That procedure, described by the club as an “arthroscopic evaluation with treatment of any labral or bony injury,” will take place next week.
According to the Phillies, Utley would be able to resume baseball activities in three to four months — meaning sometime during spring training, but possibly not until the week before opening day.
However, full recovery time is projected at between four and six months. That means the best-case scenario is a return in early April, but the worst-case scenario is late May or early June, depending on how long a rehab option the club feels he would need.
Warren Sapp Lambastes Donovan McNabb
The chuckles and guffaws over Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb’s “I didn’t know there were ties in the NFL” comment continue as retired NFL defensive tackle and current Dancing With the Stars contestant Warren Sapp piled on.
When I heard him say it, I almost passed out. I thought, ‘This will follow you for the rest of your career.’ Your legacy in the league, Donovan, will be throwing up in the Super Bowl, Rush Limbaugh and now ‘I didn’t know there were ties in the NFL.’
Lower Southampton Residents Rail Against Community Center
More than 200 Lower Southampton residents packed into a church basement last night to air their largely negative views about a planned Community Center in a meeting with the Township’s Board of Supervisors.
Courier-Times writer Gema Duarte does readers a disservice by applying a false manufactured balance in reporting the meeting. The tone in the room was decidedly anti-Center. Residents jeered nearly every pro-Center comment by the Supervisors and presenters and cheered nearly every anti-Center resident who took to the podium.
At issue was the wisdom of building an unwanted and unfunded $11-million dollar taxpayer albatross that will never make the Township any money, and relies on half of its users coming from outside the Township to even be viable.
