The city of Philadelphia reached a grim milestone today: its 324th homicide.
The number equals the 2011 total, and with two weeks left in this year, that number is sure to rise.
Of course, Police Commissioner Ramsey will still claim the numbers are down . . . because he will continue to compare them to the grisly 2007 number of 391. Fudging: It’s not just for candy stores anymore.
We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France. We shall fight on the seas and oceans. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER! -Winston Churchill

You dropped a bomb on me...baby!
Courage isn't the absence of fear. Rather it's the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Spoke too soon. We’re now at 325. Winning!
Damn… That is just not good! Another reason not to visit… Sorry…
But hey, the fire deaths are down. That mayor sure knows what he’s doing.
On a side note capt… I’ve been waiting and waiting to see if Orlando got the SAFER grant to hire with. They finally got it… TODAY, on the friggin Friday before Christmas. Now I’m pretty sure I’ll be waiting at least until the new year before hearing anything. But at least they finally got the grant!
