[UC] Did anyone go to the mayoral candidates' forum @ the Enterprise Ctr last night?
Did anyone go to the mayoral candidates' forum @ the Enterprise Ctr last night? (I didn't -- figuring that, barring the revelation of a monetary tie to Vince Fumo, Brady's gonna be a shoe-in because he controls the Democratic Party infrastructure, so the campaign is all window-dressing.) Report (or opinion contrary to the above)? Always at your service and ready for a dialog ® brand resident and housing provider, Al Krigman
[UC] March 5 at 7:30 PM in the home of the Assumption Sisters, 1001 S. 47th
Talk, QA and light refreshments in pursuit of community and spirituality will be served on Monday, March 5 at 7:30 PM in the home of the Assumption Sisters, 1001 S. 47th SPEAKER: Sr. Pat Downs, SBS TOPIC: St. Katherine Drexel: Woman of Hope and Courage Google has many links to info on http://www.cny.org/archive/ft/ft100500.htm http://www.cst-phl.com/050303/main.html Sr. Pat works to heal Racial Divisions and is committed to helping us recognize common humanity across color lines. She also coordinates volunteers for St. Katharine Drexel's shrine and missions out of her Bensalem Convent. http://www.katharinedrexel.org/volunteer.html St. Katharine's feast day is March 3rd, so it is a timely topic. This link is to an organization that promotes Racial Sobriety and recovery from the wounds of Racism. http://www.racialsobriety.org/ We named our only daughter Katharine, a decision made with faith, hope, love and aspiration. Any exploration of cross cultural support and success may produce benefits in our time of gun violence, Iraq war and cultural confusion. The Sisters of the Assumption provide a lovely setting for challenging topics. Their grace, comfort and beautiful manners create opportunities for challenge and change. I hope to see the usual suspects and many more participants on March 5th. Best!

Couple of things here..If you agree Phillip his comments are not politically correct then you should have hit the delete key on your own post just after you wrote it. We are living in a very important time and we all need to rise to the occasion. We are in a new millennium where we should leave the past behind us, all the hurt and mistakes. Even someone as witty as Ross can make a mis-step in judgment when writing or referring to another race in a way that traditionally has been offensive. The words Negro and Boy shouldn't be used today when referring to black men and you defiantly don't want to use them in a statement together. I don't want to hear it on this list, on my street from a neighbor, or anywhere else for that matter. It belongs in the past.

RE: [UC] Anybody Carpooling to the Cassidy Opening Tonight?
Riot in West Philadelphia: Troubles Started at Local Art Show Sally Ven Pentaham Special to the UC Review The streets of West Philadelphia turned violent this Friday Evening as a crowd of art patrons, drunken to insensiblity on the free alchohol offered at the photography opening of world renown local artist Kyle Cassidy, proceeded into a protest being held outside the venue and beat one of the picketers silly. Before police arrived, the mob, who had accused the protester of using an off-color remark earlier in the day, began to hurl small plastic cups of inexpensive red wine into the chanting throng many of whom were carrying signs that said No Hooch in the Hood!, Down with Drink!, and We Protest All Bars! Tensions between inebriated art fans and the local temperance union had become heated late last year when a center city brew pub announced that they would be opening a new establishment in West Philly. The city is no place for alchohol! said temperence union spokesperson Ross Rossalyn Bender who was rumored to bear the brunt of the drubbing last night, in a pre-recorded message. First come the artists, then the booze, and before you know it, the place is full up with Yoga Studios and five dollar cups of coffee. In a FOX news interview later that night on the Bill O'Reilly show Cassidy defended the actions of the mob saying, People weren't buying enough of my art, so we opened a few more bottles of Chateau Sales and put on the James Taylor and stuff began flying off the walls. When there was nothing left to buy, they all went outside and spent some shame on that guy who'd been mouthing off all morning. It's just how things go at my shows; people buy stuff, then they break stuff. Penn Police Chief Maureen Rush said You have to expect these sort of things are going to happen if you leave our patrol area.

S - Sharrieff -- My offensive post was inspired by two things -- 1) the way people on this list have suggested that when it snows, it's a charitable thing to do to let the kids walking around with snow shovels earn some spending money for the holidays and 2) watching two perfectly healthy Penn kids having an older African-American gentleman shovel out their car on Baltimore Avenue yesterday. No doubt they thought they were doing him a big favor. Anyhow, I hope we can count on your getting your black ass to the opening tonight. Oh, and in case anybody's still keeping track, what was the ethnicity of the crazy real-estate investor who killed five people downna Naval Yard this week?

[UC] Forces of Temperance Suffer Mild Setback at Cassidy Opening
Anti-booze forces lost ground tonight when the Kyle Cassidy art gallery opening turned into the expected drunken brawl, as supposedly staid citizens lowered themselves to the level of the beasts of the field in an orgy of inebriation, leaving dozens stupefied under the tables in the grip of Demon Rum. Grown men and women got themselves plotzed, hammered, fuddled and tanked, and by the end of the evening specimens of both sexes were dancing lewd and topless on the bar, making Sodom and Gomorrah look positively civilized by comparison. A new low in unseemliness was reached as loose women cupped their naked breasts in unison around hapless mens ears, in a kinky sexual maneuver known as The Earmuff, an abomination beyond even the imaginings of the compilers of the notorious Kama Sutra. Temperance Union leaders stated that while they had perhaps lost a skirmish, the battle continues, and warned that the forces of sobriety would be out in force on Wednesday night Feb. 28th when the new Dock Street Brew-Pub opens its doors to an early influx of degenerates. Ross Der Hammer Bender, who suffered a broken nose at the hands of anti-anti-booze militants outside the Abbraccio tonight, said from his hospital bed that he considered himself a martyr in the cause. Ich bin ein Mennonite, he said, lapsing momentarily into the quaint Pennsylvania Dutch dialect of his ancestors, und ve gentle Mennonites dont like to use der Roughshtuff unless there is chust a mighty good reason, but chust remember that ve are trained from childhood in the use of farm implements, such as plowshares and pruning hooks. Und a plowshare might do some awful serious damage to vun of dese broohaha-pubs dat I haff heard about. Dis iss not a threat. Chust sayin. Remember Carrie Nation! -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
