Stop The Presses – Not So Fast! All Eyes On The Specter Seat
Web reports of the endangered Daily News are premature. There is a sense that the bankruptcy proceedings at the two big Philly papers will surely result in an end to the Daily News. The irony is that the Daily News has a loyal customer base, and that the Daily News will not go away. Having said that, I will add this: There is always the possibility that the People Paper might be folded inside the Inky, just a possibility mind you. The Daily News columnists are hot, especially Elmer Smith. All this speculation was prompted by a web report suggesting that the Daily News was number one on the list of the ten most endangered newspapers. As you know from some of the email that comes to this site – just because it’s on the web doesn’t mean it is correct. My broadcast this week on the Comcast Network Sunday night at 9:30 features a discussion on the future of newspapers. Some of the forecasts may surprise you.
SENATE BOUND? -
Josh Shapiro will likely soon become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for US Senate in Pa, hoping to oppose Arlen Specter. Joe Torsella also wants the gig, but, at this point, Shapiro has lined up a very significant list of backers. As far as Specter: He faces another challenge from the right. The GOP in Pennsylvania, already weakened internally, would suffer tremendously from another effort to defeat Specter. Specter is determined to fight. Don’t rule out a man who has defied the odds, politically and health-wise, for most of his life.
MADOFF-
Bernie is finally in Federal custody. He should have been from the beginning, and unless he reveals all the co-plotters in his painful fraud, don’t you think he should remain in solitary till he fesses up? People have died, families have been ruined, and the public wants a full dimension of justice, and fast. It is incumbent upon Federal prosecutors to find and convict everyone involved in the mother of all swindles.
AN IDEA FOR THE OBAMA TEAM-
On health care: Tax credits for gym memberships. It is a tremendous encouragement to good health in America. Preventative medicine in the form of fitness can be a cure. We also need to educate doctors on the merits of encouraging fitness. Many doctors do that, but frankly, much of the American medical community is sadly uninformed on the benefits of exercise, and good nutrition.

You are a genius. I keep saying how profitable and successful the Daily News is. Thanks for the kind words.
Your friend and admirer

Larry, there will be no Inquirer, at least in print, within two years.
Josh Shapiro again? The Greenberg Traurig guy? Really? I thought that earmarks and corruption were on the way out. Why the huge man crush? If people vote for him, we’re dumber than I thought. Some guy who collects paychecks from big lawfirms and the state taxpayers. Really. It’s sick. There are a lot of other people who would be better representatives in D.C., even Josh’s old boss, Mr. Hoeffel.
You’ve forsaken SEPTA and FREE AIR. Tax credits for gym memberships? Are you for real? How about tax credits commensurate with the weight you lose, or the points by which you lower your cholesterol? The tax code is complicated enough. Let’s simplify it and stop using it to engineer everyone’s life. The benefit of being healthy is being healthy. No need to subsidize crappy gyms with federal subsidies.
Sigh.
Larry, thank you for changing the blog topic. Note: these topics will interest readers for about 4 hours then back to ‘Socket Puppets Gone Wild’. Either you don’t get it or you don’t care. Not sure why we do.
Daily news is a rag, a quirky rag but a rag non-the-less. There is no longer enough readership for 2 papers. The Bulletin proved that. Now the Inquirier is on the ropes for the umteenth time. They may be different and quirky but no one but you has time to read Elmer Fudd.
Ahh yes, the obligatory Josh Shapiro reference. Is he actually your love child with Joan Rivers. Plllllease.
Wow, Bernie Madoff a bad guy. Really going out on a limb on this one, Lar. Perhaps your outrage should be directed to the criminal justice system that is allowing his wife and kids to walk away. Is this part of a plea bargain arrangement? They have him cold. Why would they allow a plea bargin? Perhaps we know where some of the $65B is going now…
Larry, sometimes you really embarrass yourself. Doctors and Healthcare Insurance Companies have been encouraging their insured to exercise and eat right for 15 years. Perhaps the problem is your 88 year old doctor. Maybe its time to find a DR that still doesn’t make housecalls. Your idea is good but hardly novel.
Maybe it’s time to find another blog. This is becoming like a bad Christmas. You wait for weeks in anticipation for Christmas morning and all the gifts you will receive. You come running down the stairs, rush to open your presents and what did you get? A clock radio. Open package #2 and it’s a subscription to the Daily News. Package #3 is a book by Josh Shapiro. Package #4 is a book by Bernie Madoff. Package #5 is a membership to the local gym. And your 10 years old… Bah humbug…
your > you are
Elmer Smith is hot ? You should add that he’s irrelevant also.Elmer freakin’ Smith,really who cares ? Maybe Will Bunch does but he’s another liberal hack & a good example of why the papers in this city are toast.
Gyms are overrated,aside from seeing young hotties in spandex that is.Musty,smelly places full of people who waited too long to start working out.
Sacre bleu! Monsieur Larry and this Josh Shapiro must as you say “get a room”. Why must his name come up in each blog? Sacre bleu! I use this Daily News to wrap my fish. I prefer a larger newspaper for fish wrapping though. Elmer Fudd is he not a cartoon character? Sacre bleu!
Is this, how you say, Ed Rendell available to conduct an Inquisition of Madoff? Hot poker and tongs applied on the genitals will get you the names you seek, your full dimension of justice.
How much does this Josh Shapiro pay for your public endorsement? It must be many pieces of silver because you never say what specifically are his legislative accomplishments that make him worthy to represent the whole state in D.C. instead of just some guilty white libtards in MontCo. He did not take money from a pay increase because he gets big money from law firms that represent clients that want ins in state government. He’s like a lobbyist insider. Hold an Inquisition and appoint an actual journalist to conduct it.
Bernardo: (what a great stage name for an accomplished talent). Shapiro is the real thing.
Leo: Gym visitors should get tax breaks! Maybe you should visit one to get your mind cleared up, although, as always, you are a great writer.
Will Bunch: You are the most intelligent man on the planet. Your comment is one of the nicest I’ve received here in months. You may not know it, but I’m always under fire from the devoted readers here. If I depended on these guys for self esteem, I would have serious problems!
All kidding aside, love the columns.
Larry Kane: Coca-Cola is the real thing. This Shapiro is a gladhander with glad hands. I do not let them near my pantaloons. Be careful for the Devil wears many guises and can make the worse appear the better reason.
I will lose the primary and then be elected as an independent moderate a la Joe Lieberman.
It makes me uncomfortable that someone with a man crush is telling people to look at my seat.
Larry forgot to mention that the guests
for this Sunday’s show about the future of the Daily News will be “Hank” the news boy who works the corner stand at 5th and Market and “Tony” the fish monger, a frequent SEPTA rider who loves the Daily News for it’s easy to read format. To quote Tony,”on 9th St it’s the only paper to use when wrapping a fish”.
Sounds like it’s going to be a ratings bonaza for Larry this Sunday. I know one person who will on the edge of his seat watching with much anticipation ……..
Will Bunch.
Ben is it true that fish and blog posts go bad after three days? Want to send Larry an almanac?
Forget the Daily News and the other papers. The action is on Craigslist you cats and kittens. Now come on down to the library and let me get you purring.
I really hate to admonish one of my fellow Philadelphia icons, but if I were alive today Larry would be eating his lunch at the hotdog cart on the outskirts of Independence Hall. He would also be serving hotdogs from his cart on the outskirts of Independence Hall.
Ahh Ha Punxsatney Larry emerges from the cheetos and TV reruns like thee Phoenix. Participation by the absentee landlord. I think I like it. But let it be known Monsieur Larry that conspiring with the rabel will not be tolerated. You must be remain in your ivory tower Boca condo. If you appear on the street you will be captured and you know the rest of the story. Don’t lose your head over these nitwits.
Monsieur Larry are you held captive on the isle of Bermuda? That might explain the time on your blog being Atlantic Daylight Time. Monsieur Larry what is your hood size?
Who gives a goddamn about Josh Shapiro.
The gym tax credit will benefit bloggers like Leo Bloom,when he does his toe touches and deep knee bends in the gym shower he will get a refund at the end of the year.
Hey George, welcome back. Are you sure you weren’t sent by Obie to fix the Middle East crisis? Did you get your fill of humus and grape leaves and come home early? Did you drive through McDonalds on the way home from the airport?
I think that your 3rd paragraph on the war and Bush are a bit simplistic. If there was a website link, I’d think it was actually Leo. Anywho, throw in a heavy dose of corporate greed, inflated home prices, millions of homes ‘owned’ by people who should not have qualified, mismanagement by Fannie and Freddie Mac and a Democratic Party hell bent on bring down the GOP. You are giving OBL far too much credit. He’s now more interested in finding his next goat than the destruction of the US.
Everytime you think Larry has come up with the lamest blog of all time, he beats it the next time. His man crushes on Josh Shapiro and Fast Eddie are really disturbing. Perhaps he’s just too parochial; perhaps it’s something else… Anywho, welcome back. You haven’t missed a thing here, but you already knew that…
It looks like Larry is beginning to attract local celebrities to his blog.
Will Bunch…………….. Wow! Could Elmer Smith be next?
Larry needs to spice this place up a bit.
After reading George I normally want to hang myself.
Another conspiracy theory surrounding President Barack Obama is making the rounds, according to Politico.com.
Skip over this content
What’s Your Take?
What do you think of this theory? Is it just a bunch of rubbish? Or are the conspiracists on to something?
The latest one contends that many top officials in Obama’s administration are involved in a clandestine global cabal bent on creating a one-world government that supersedes the United States.
For decades, conspiracy theorists have viewed the Bilderberg group, an international organization made up of political, financial, academic and military heavyweights that comes together annually to discuss world affairs, as similar to the Trilateral Commission or the Council on Foreign Relations — two groups comprised of influential movers and shakers who, some say, control world events from behind the scenes.
And now, some in the Obama administration who have taken part in Bilderberg conferences in the past are gaining attention for their alleged involvement in a secret bid for worldwide domination.
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Bilderberg participant who was recently nominated by Obama for the Health and Human Services secretary post, is the latest high-profile figure to be singled out.
Skip over this content One conspiracy-minded Web site called PrisonPlanet.com said that if confirmed, Sebelius “will be pleased to do the bidding of the Bilderbergers in the Obama administration.”
The fact that other top members of the Obama team — economists Timothy Geithner, Larry Summers and Paul Volcker — have participated in Bilderberg conferences has only added fuel to the fire.
Too much information BF
Wow, Barney, I didn’t realize that Representatives could chair Senate committees. Good jorb, you sock puppet idiot.
Leo, was that an unconscious jab at Barney’s slurring of words, an error caused by a controlled substance or is Larry’s sloppy typing becoming contagious
Hey Barney give me a f#$%@#ing break.
oooj, it’s a meme that denotes FAIL.
In other words,the coffee excuse has been trotted out too many times.
What so now that I am numero doce senor in the White House I can’t use four letter words? Listen I rode Amtrak for 24 f#$%ing years without any one commenting on my G$5^d%&* language. Those sh%&h%#@s that continue to f$#* with me are going to feel the wrath of my f$*%ing power. Je$%^ Ch$%^& the whole f$*&ing world uses f$%^ing four letter words. And the next person to call me Mr Foot-in Mouth will get a foot right up their a$$hole.
YFAP, welcome back to our undistinguished group.
YBP, touché. Try the ol’ Google search if you have doubts.
Also, nice to make fun of Joe Biden now that his mother is in the hospital. That’s pretty civil. I see women beating their kids on SEPTA who are more polite than that.
Are you suggesting it was me making fun of Biden ? Not sure why you would think that.
Why won’t you everyone else does
Man I thought that Vince was not guilty..
Just goes to show you, any one can be found guilty. Even those that are guilty.
Mr Mensa couldn’t play the race card, can’t beat the race card……
Vince can play the heart attack card ….
oh yeah he’s already played that card.
I’ll bet he plays the mafia card… where the next time you see him in court he’ll be attached to an oxygen tank..
Top O’the Mornin’ to you Barney. Are yee the purple dragon or the faerie type? I am not interested in the gold at the end of your rainbow Barney if you are a fellow faerie if you get my drift lad.
Is maith an scathan suil charad!
Get yee a drink Barney and don’t be such a tight ass.
Eirinn go Brach!
Larry no need to write about Vince Fumo. I’ve already done it for you.
Vince was a hard working, vigilant, honest servant of the people for many years. On the other hand Vince was a lazy,dishonest, often absent servant of the people sometimes.
Larry did I nail it or what?
Last Leprechan you diminutive piece of trash I am not interested in your tiny package. Go back to Lucky Charms land and rub your own blarney stone. I’ve got bigger fish to fry than you.
Vince should be chained to Philbert, the Reading Terminal Market pig, with Rush Limbaugh for a grease off.
He’d be too old for Rush
Barney spends all his time hanging around Mexican bath houses with signs that say Franks and Beans
Oh Barney yee be the wee mite from my perspective. Why are yee such a cranky old hag? Has your cabana boy gone back to Puerto Rico to find a real man?
Eirinn go Brach!
LARRY, WHEN THERE ARE MORE SOCK PUPPETS THAN REGULARS, IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THE BLOG TOPIC!
zzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Leo, please wake me when the topic changes… ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ oh is that George … George I am Red now George you are gray……….I am again RED Ed……….Thank You Barney Leprechaun. Or should I say Larry Leper-kahn
I went out and saw my shadow today. 6 more days of this bad blog.
What do you expect from a rodent that is holed away all winter in a stinking burrow eating Cheetos and watching TV reruns? Blame it on the Sun!
If someone would pay for me to have cable modem in Boca, I could participate far more often. It’s $34.50 a month with the cable modem service and rental with BrightHouse. Oy vey! Maybe if all you bloggers chipped in $3 per month, I could get cable modem here in Boca.
Leo what is your obsession with Philbert the Reading Terminal Market pig? How can I meet you in Philly if I’m here in Boca? During the day, I’m at the Mae Volen Senior Center on Palmetto Road. They have free cable. I like free cable. If you want to meet and discuss Free Air, come anyday between 10-11AM. If you come Thursdays they have free ice cream cones!
Don’t come on Tuesdays. Tuesday is Bingo day. I like Bingo. It does get a bit vicious here. If you come on Friday, Stuart Rosenfeld is visiting his dad. He’s the grandson of Manny Rosenfeld from the Pep Boys. He may know a thing or two about free air. Certainly more than Philbert knows.
Philbert reminds me of Charlotte’s Web, Larry. In fact, you might take a cue or two from Charlotte. She updated her web more frequently than you update this blog, and it won her the undying love of a pig. Just think what you might accomplish if you were to spin something worthwhile every now and then. And I’m not talking about more Beatles puffery.
The press in Baltimore is very boring. They repeat the same story over and over.WJZ Channel 13 comes on 5am 4,5,and 6PM and 11PM with the same stories over and over. We keep the radio on at work and hear the same news over and over all day then at night it’s no longer news, it’s history and they keep repeating over and over. The Baltimore Sun is a piece of crap and by the time it’s delivered the news is now histroy because we saw it all on cable or the internet already. I’m cancelling my subscrition. When you watch the news on cable. MSNBC, FOX, CNN, CNBC there are so many banners and tickers you can’t even see the reporters face or the pictures they’re reporting on. I’m taking a news fast.
George , Larry is still in repentance for leaving Philadelphia and going to the Big Apple. When the New York market rejected him he had to crawl back to Phila and try to save his career. We in Phila never recovered from his desertion of our city. If he went national it would have been different. That would have been an advancement. Going to New York was telling us we were a second class city. He’s been trying to get back to his former prominence ever since. Larry will never be a John Facenda…..
He wishes he were a cool anchor, like Mort Crim from Detroit, instead of being a lead-in for Alycia Lane.
Please don’t post after 8PM. That is my bedtime here in Boca. Fast paced, busy day awaits me. I routinely awake at 5PM because I have to pee. It’s a prostrate thing. Richie you need to get out more. The news nationally is nothing more than a continuous replay of the same stories. Barring the breaking news of a fire, accident, burning car or hostage situation it’s just like The Weather Channel only not nonstop. Don’t watch the news anymore. By the time you see it it is no longer news. Kind of like my News Flashes. Did I mention how much I admire Ed Rendell and Josh Shapiro? Time for me to washdown the shuffleboard court and wax my pucks for a big tournament today.
For those of you waiting a new assignment here it is. It will take days for my crack website staff to post this.
President Obama has yet another flap to deal with. It’s not bad enough that that so many Cabinet staff posts were not sufficiently vetted as to prevent embarrassing details about appointees. Now on the day that the President rants on AIG executives receiving bonuses in California, Senator Shifty Chris Dodd reveals that the President’s minions in the Treasury Department told him to change the bonus verbage several months ago to prevent lawsuits. They’ve known about it for months. Sounds like a diversion to me. This would not have happened if Josh Shapiro was appointed as Attorney General and Ed Rendell as Secretary of HUD as I suggested.

Thank you for playing, YFAP. Round 2 picks get tougher… and there is always the LK bias factor. I wanted to vote for Gerbils in an upset but…
I wonder how Larry is making out with his shuffleboard game?
Larry, do you think Josh Shapiro will capitalize on Natasha Richardson’s death and introduce ski helmet legislation? Will he save us from ourselves?

Gunner Back (that is a great name)
Monica Malpass (see above)
Larry Mente(an ideal stereotype anchor)

As previously indicated, Larry goes to bed at 8PM. Please cease all blogging until tomorrow morning. Larry does not want to be awaken by computer noises.
Nancy Pelosi is such a screwball and loose cannon you really have to wonder what stupid statements she’ll make next. And now we find out the she’s a “cat person”…
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/news/march-18-2009/house-speaker-pelosi-calls-immigration-enforcement-un-american.html?jid=111509&lid=9&rid=1215&tid=696362
Imagine the uproar if Sarah Palin had said what President Teleprompter said last night.And we thought it was Biden we had to be wary of.
OOOJ-How did you ever overlook Sid Doherty for your field of sixteen ?
YFAP, honestly it was from memory and hard to find 16 viable candidates. I was hoping to do Meterologists, Sportscasters and Kids Show Hosts as follow on pools as well but based on the lack of interest so far, I am rethinking the exercise.
Another big day here at the Mae Volen Senior Center. Fresh off a 3rd place finish in yesterday’s shuffleboard tournament with partner Morty Crim, I am looking forward to arts and crafts today. Last week we made jewelry holders out of popcycle sticks. I like arts and crafts. It allows me to be expressive and creative without being ridiculed. Got to go now. I want a front row seat at the picnic table.
Speaking of “Special Olympics” where’s Larry…..?
Sarah Palin and her family are the Special Olympics.
Leo, Biden’s mother just buzzed….. she needs her bedpan emptied……
Mitchell Rubin is the next one to fall.By all accounts he’s a piece of trash anyway, so no big deal.Wonder how far this will go,maybe even touch Larry’s favorite,Ed Rendell.
Meghan McCain was commenting about “morons” when she Twittered about Obama appearing on TV. I laughed, especially given that her father is the confirmed whore of the late night circuit.
Yeah,McCain is the one not making fun of the Special Olympics.
YBP, Obama wasn’t making fun of them either. He was making fun of himself.
You’re so understanding,selectively of course.If that were Palin,you’d have fodder for a week & would wind up commenting on her attire.After that,you’d make an impassioned plea for FREE AIR & feel jilted by Larry.How am I doing so far ?
YBP, it’s not easy being on the side of the angels. Palin, of course, queen of accepting federal earmarks per capita, just rejected education funding and other social service funding from the stimulus package. It’s easy to make fun of her. She’s such a smacked ass.
Speaking of attire, she still hasn’t accounted for all those clothes, either, has she? Do you think they made their way into the crystal meth trade in Wasilla via Levi Johnson’s family?
Sorry my post is late,I just got a bit dizzy reading the latest from Chris Dobbs.What is it about this administration that everyone seems to be constantly backtracking ? Obama looks worse each day,he’s starting to take on the Carter look,you know,confused ,foolish.This is going to be a long four years.
*** As previously indicated, Larry goes to bed at 8PM. Please cease all blogging until tomorrow morning. Larry does not want to be awaken by computer noises.
Babby want rich white men.
Hi all with a report from Boca. We made bead bracelets in arts and crafts yesterday. Yeah I know that for girls but it was really cool. I made one with letters that spelled L-A-R-R-I-E. I could not find a Y. I think Yuri Yunakovsky grabbed all the Ys. Dawm Commies. I like arts and crafts. Saturdays are spent at the Kaighn Compound here in Boca. Lots of reading and time for Sudoku. The weeks are frantic here. Of course I have to tape my Comcast show in Philly. I hate that 3 hour flight to PHL. What is the weather like there?
We have hit a new low on this site when Larrie Kaighn is the most interesting sock puppet to come out of the draw. I’m waiting for Leo to come out of the closet. Now that would be inteesting.
Ed, you steamy hunk of man, get out your man & man KY personal lubricant and meet me at the Reading Terminal Market next to Philbert the pig, and you’ll squeal like a pig. I’ll bet you got a purdy mouth.
9TH DAY HELD HOSTAGE
LARRY FREE US FROM THIS DISMAL BLOG TOPIC
Leo what is it with you and the Reading Terminal do you own a box on Arch Street?
I can see you now standing by the pig and waiting with forlorn eyes anticipating the arrival of Larry Kane. Now “bark like a dog”!
Ahhhh… the ultimate form of flattery. Sock puppets attempting to copy you. Should I be flattered?
Ed, do you envision Leo looking like the Ned Beatty character in Deliverance? I see him more as a Willie from Alf.
OOOJ, I envision Leo more like Screech in Saved by The Bell. The only difference would be a big bald spot on the back of his head. And of course a pair of glasses so thick you could use them for xray vision.
Ed, #99 is clearly not Leo. Are you insinuating that Jack Russell is covertly sock puppeting Leo? Too many capital letters for JR.
I envision Jack Russell looking like a much older version of actor Ed Harris.
I don’t believe that really was Jack Russell, Jack if your’re still alive give us a sign. what color and model is your Scwinn bicycle and where is your favorite place to ride? Only Jack Russell officionados know these answers. OOOJ, Jack Russell is a good looking version of Ed Harris.
As for Obama on Leno, that was not the first time he made a joke about the Special Olypics, it’s just the first time he got caught on tape. The Wyann brothers have made a fortune mocking mentally diabled people on their Fox program, In Living Color, and most black comedy movies have a retarded character, usually to be the butt of thier inane jokes. This is a well known and provable fact, yet the press has given Obama another free pass. In the campaign Obama even referred to “Ray Ray” which is black code for your retarded uncle or family member who just doesn’t get it. Most Blacks think it’s hyterical to mock retarded people, lets just be honest about it. It’s also very funny to mock minorities, so lighten up everyone. There was nothing funnier than Eddie Murphy as a mildly retarded gay black man in 48 hours. Or how about Tracey Morgan on SNL as Bryan Fellows, a mildly retarded zoo keeper who asks guests off point questions about wild animals, its hysterical becasue its a retarded zoo keeper with a 6th grade education who has been given a television show and everone tries to be polite about it.
The mentally disable will finally be fully main-streamed into society when they can take a joke – being retarded is a blessing from God- He sent them here for us to love them and to learn from them, that includes joking with and about them.
Leo: Are you ok?
I’m more than OK, Mr. Kane. Ed is going to meet me for a steamy tryst. Mr. Tanner from Alf will bring the crack. (I am a bit more like Ron Jeremy than like him, if you follow my meaning.) It’s going to be hawt. If you want, you can take a sauna with us. It’s good for the skin, you know.
George, don’t forget Steve Martin in The Jerk and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. He loves making fun of the mentally challenged.
Dont forget about Something about Mary. Making fun of retards is fun because they are so retarded.
