Animal news: They found a three-foot long alligator in Bethlehem. (ABC)
Transit news: In a test of driving knowledge, PA drivers ranked 26th amongst the states, which could be better, but is certainly better than NJ drivers, who ranked a lowly 48th -- a recent improvement from 50th. But be warned: Turns out if you drive your bike drunkenly into a cop car in Philly, you may be arrested for BUI. (CBS)
God Hates Corbett news: Proof maybe that we've broken the planet, or that maybe God is really angry at Corbett's budget: PA got hit with tornadoes (not as destructive as the ones that hit MO, tho). (Delawareonline.com) Even better, Northern Philly got hit with an earthquake, albeit a very small one.
Area crime news: I don't like violence, but nonetheless I feel a perverse pride when I think about the fact that La Cosa Nostra is doing a'ight in Philly, as per a recent set of federal charges against 13 alleged members of the gang. One of the mob guys is known as Bent Finger Louie. Unrelatedly, a Pleasant Valley kid was given a summons for disorderly conduct charges because he acted up in class. (Pocono Record)
Random PA Politics: Former Gov. Ed Rendell does humanity a solid and denounces Fox News (PoliticsPA) Miley Cyrus instructs her Twitter followers to not shop at Urban Outfitters because of the company's support of Rick Santorum, presidential candidate and homophobe. (Inquirer). A man raided the district office of P.A. U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach and tried to make off with the office's ten-gallon fully-stocked fish tank. Problem is, guy dropped the fish tank and it broke and fish and turtles and crabs and shit. I guess go ahead and put this in the crime and animal news sections, too.
