Every time I ride my bike a Hummer almost kills me. I can understand if you live out in the mountains, but in Philly? Finally someone tells the truth about these abominations…
Almost A Real Journalist
I'm J.T. Quigley, a 22-year-old university student on the verge of finishing my journalism degree. I intern for a small newspaper in Philadelphia, and I've freelanced for the Philadelphia Inquirer. I'm anxious to get the hell out of college and see the world. And, of course, write about it.
In the meantime...

“The Senate is very proud to have done the work they’re supposed to do all the time.”
Best Daily Show clip I think I’ve ever seen…
I absolutely love Juhasz’s drawings. I have it taped to my apartment window, next to my Obama 08 sticker.
Full (excellent) article at:

» Need a job? $17,000 an hour. No success required.
Nick Kristof, although I’m still bitter about being a runner up for your international correspondence essay contest (at least they still published it on nytimes.com), I would like to commend you for the best Op-Ed I’ve read in a looooooong time.
“I’m delighted to announce that Mr. Fuld (who continues to lead Lehman since it entered bankruptcy proceedings this week) is the winner of my annual Michael Eisner Award for corporate rapacity and poor corporate governance. The award honors the pioneering achievements in this field of Mr. Eisner, the former Walt Disney chief.
This isn’t a plaque that will simply gather dust in a closet. It’s a shower curtain to commemorate the $6,000 one that the former C.E.O. of Tyco purchased and billed to his shareholders.
So, Mr. Fuld, you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve picked out a lovely green vinyl number for you. Only $14.99! Why, I saved you $5,985!”

» This just in: Palin's naughty little daughter pregnant with baby numero DOS!
Palin is sooo fucked. As you see below, she already lied about being pregnant to cover Bristol’s last pregnancy. Now, she’s having her second, and Palin has no choice but to admit her daughter is a sex monger.
Palin’s baby is actually her DAUGHTER’S BABY…
Why on EARTH would you lie about something so obvious!?

So, last night I was riding my bike home from the mall, and some very young “gangsta” white kids (see: “wiggers,” “wangstas,” “the kids who take your order at Wendy’s”) rolled down there window and fired a shot at me from behind, at point blank range… and, luckily, missed.
I guess the movies and music videos showing the ghetto sideways-tilted aiming style actually ended up benefiting me after all — you can’t fucking aim with your gun sideways.
Rap has ruined a generation of suburban losers. Thank God my little brother is a hardcore tatted-up rock and roll skater kid. Anything but baggy Sean Johns and a obscenely oversized fitted hat.

» The Happiest of Taps
My last and most recent piece for the Spirit, profiling the Happy Tap, one of Fishtown’s neighborhood favorite dives. On to my last semester of school and perhaps another internship…

Caught this Soulwax documentary on Friday night… Advance tickets to their show at Transit counted as free admission to the screening, so I took the time to relax before dousing my liver in free Sparks and PBR. I’m all about rock & roll, but sometimes you just gotta dance… and Soulwax Nite Versions throws in drums, bass, and vocals. So it’s pretty damn close. My favorite example.
So I’m almost a year late on this one. But this HAARP business is pretty scary. Weather warfare, giant shield, meteor killer, mind control… is this the next Sci Fi superweapon?
Furthermore, what is all this talk about HAARP causing the Chinese earthquakes? Are the “rainbow clouds” the warning sign of HAARP being activated? Talk about a conspiracy theory… And just in time for the Olympics!
